A suitable formulation to improve Lavandin essential oil applicability as biocide has been study in this project. Agrochemical formulations are required to be long-term physical stable and enhance biological performance of the agrochemical. Particle encapsulation of lavandin oil had been considered as possible formulation. Two high pressure spray techniques (PGSS and PGSS drying) had been appli...

How does the saccadic movement system select a target when visual, auditory, and planned movement commands differ? How do retinal, head-centered, and motor error coordinates interact during the selection process? Recent data on superior colliculus (SC) reveal a spreading wave of activation across buildup cells the peak activity of which covaries with the current gaze error. In contrast, the loc...

In the present study, supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO(2)) extraction of seed oil from winter melon (Benincasa hispida) was investigated. The effects of process variables namely pressure (150-300 bar), temperature (40-50 °C) and dynamic extraction time (60-120 min) on crude extraction yield (CEY) were studied through response surface methodology (RSM). The SC-CO(2) extraction process was mod...

Estrogen replacement is an effective therapy of postmenopausal symptoms such as hot flushes, bone loss, and vaginal dryness. Undesired estrogen effects are the stimulation of uterine and mammary gland epithelial cell proliferation as well as hepatic estrogenicity. In this study, we examined the influence of different estradiol release kinetics on tissue responsivity in ovariectomized (OVX) rats...

In this work, we examined enhanced skin delivery of minoxidil applied in nanoemulsions incorporating skin penetration enhancers. Aliquots of fully characterized oil-in-water nanoemulsions (1 mL), containing minoxidil (2%) and the skin penetration enhancer oleic acid or eucalyptol as oil phases, were applied to full-thickness excised human skin in Franz diffusion cells, while aqueous solutions (...

BACKGROUND Biosurfactants are surface-active compounds produced by some microorganisms. OBJECTIVES In this study, we collected surface skin samples from breast of poultry (chicken, turkey, and, quail) and screened for biosurfactant-producing bacteria. We also determined the genera of cultured strains. MATERIALS AND METHODS 33 hemolytic bacterial strains (15, 11, and 7 isolates from chicken,...

There is an increasing interest in the production of monoglycerides (MAG) and diglycerides (DAG) rich in omega-3, such as DHA (C22:6n-3) and EPA (C20:5n-3). MAG offer several health benefits over the most commercialized ethyl esters. These partial acylglycerols can be produced by enzymatic glycerolysis reaction, often carried out in organic solvents. This work reports a lipase-catalyzed glycero...
