Along the line that health-beneficial foods must also be accompanied by sustainable agricultural practices, red alga Lithothamnium sp. (Rhodophyta), frequently used for animal and human nutrition, it was shown could a biofertilizer, regarding their bioactive humic acid content, released micronization. Also, onions present well-known benefits to health are among main vegetable crops grown worldw...

Crude topiramate was prepared from the reaction between diacetonefructopyranose, sulfuric diamide, and 2-picoline. During a controlled processing the presence of Triton-X-100, crude topiramate in a methanol-water solvent, was converted to pure micron size topiramate particles. The factors affecting the purification and micronization of topiramate, such as solvent and anti-solvent type and conce...

In order to enhance solubility and dissolution rate in water, micronized l-nimodipine (NMD) has been successfully prepared by antisolvent re-crystallization process using acetone as solvent and deionized water as antisolvent. The effects of five experimental parameters on the mean particle size (MPS) of NMD nanosuspension were investigated. It was found that the MPS of NMD nanosuspension decrea...

Different livestock feeds manipulations have been reported to reduce the total P concentration in manure. Information on the influence of these dietary manipulation strategies on the forms of P in manure is, however, limited. This study was, therefore, conducted to investigate the effect of diet manipulation through feed micronization and enzyme supplementation on the forms of P in swine manure...

Piroxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug that is practically insoluble in water. The oral absorption rate of piroxicam is dependent on its dissolution rate in the GI tract. The aim of this study was to enhance the dissolution of piroxicam by a microcrystallization technique. The preparation of microcrystals of piroxicam was done by two methods, solvent change and pH shift. In the solv...
