Tungsten trioxide (WO₃) possesses a small band gap energy of 2.4-2.8 eV and is responsive to both ultraviolet and visible light irradiation including strong absorption of the solar spectrum and stable physicochemical properties. Thus, controlled growth of one-dimensional (1D) WO₃ nanotubular structures with desired length, diameter, and wall thickness has gained significant interest. In the pre...

The emulsifying ability of OSA-modified and native starch in the granular form, in the dissolved state and a combination of both was compared. This study aims to understand mixed systems of particles and dissolved starch with respect to what species dominates at droplet interfaces and how stability is affected by addition of one of the species to already formed emulsions. It was possible to cre...

A new compound, dipotassium holmium(III) phosphate(V) tungstate(VI), K(2)Ho(PO(4))(WO(4)), has been obtained during investigation of the K(2)O-P(2)O(5)-WO(3)-HoF(3) phase system using the flux technique. The compound is isotypic with K(2)Bi(PO(4))(WO(4)). Its framework structure consists of flat (∞) (2)[HoPO(4)] layers parallel to (100) that are made up of (∞) (1)[HoO(8)] zigzag chains inter-li...

The objective of this work was to study the physical properties of O/W emulsions stabilized by whey proteins. Coarse emulsions were prepared with 30% (w/w) soy oil and water phase containing 7% w/w of non heated and denatured whey proteins at 70 or 90oC. These emulsions were high pressure homogenized at 250, 450 and 600 bar in order to obtain fine emulsions. Creaming kinetics of the emulsions o...

Multiple emulsions are nested sets of drops. Drops of one kind of fluid are encapsulated inside drops of a second fluid, which themselves can be encapsulated inside drops of yet another fluid. Such ‘‘emulsions within emulsions’’ are very useful for many applications, including for the encapsulation of actives, such as nutrients, pesticides, drugs, and detergents, and as templates for the synthe...

PURPOSE Intravenous lipid emulsions have been used to treat the systemic toxicity of local anesthetics. The goal of this in vitro study was to examine the effects of lipid emulsions on the norepinephrine-mediated reversal of vasodilation induced by high doses of levobupivacaine, ropivacaine, and mepivacaine in isolated endothelium-denuded rat aorta, and to determine whether such effects are ass...

Parenteral lipid emulsions, which are made of oils from plant and fish sources, contain different types of tocopherols and tocotrienols (vitamin E homologs). The amount and types of vitamin E homologs in various lipid emulsions vary considerably and are not completely known. The objective of this analysis was to develop a quantitative method to determine levels of all vitamin E homologs in vari...

We investigated the effects of fermented red beet extract and ascorbic acid on color development in meat emulsions. The pH of meat emulsions containing red beet extract decreased with an increase in the amount of extract added. The redness of the treated meat emulsions was higher than that of the control with no added nitrite or fermented red beet extract (p<0.05), though the redness of the mea...

The formulation, characterization, and anticipated antibacterial properties of hemp seed oil and its emulsions were investigated. The oil obtained from the seeds of Cannabis sativa L. in refined and unrefined form was characterized using iodine, saponification, acid values, and gas chromatography, and was employed for the preparation of stable oil-in-water emulsions. The emulsions were prepared...
