The aim of this study was to design orally disintegrating tablets of Olanzapine and to complex Olanzapine with 2-hydroxypropyl-β- cyclodextrin with special emphasis on disintegration and dissolution studies. Phase solubility studies demonstrated the formation of 1:1 molar inclusion complex by kneading method. Tablets were prepared by using superdisintegrants namely, sodium starch glycolate, cro...

The effect of high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) on the susceptibility of potato starch (25%, w/v) suspended in water to degradation by exposure to bacterial α-amylase (0.02%, 0.04% and 0.06%, w/v) for 40 min at 25°C was investigated. Significant differences (p < 0.05) in the structure, morphology and physicochemical properties were observed. HHP-treated potato starch (PS) exposed to α-amylase (0....

Densification of the feeds could be a solution to feedstock deficiency for biogas plants and ultimate option for waste management. This paper deals with development of a environmentally and farmer’s friendly technology for sustainable use of waste,through densification and development of a package of integration of nutrients, alternate waste and binder etc with cow dung for biogas plant. The la...

We enzymatically modified rice starch to produce highly branched amylopectin and amylose and analyzed the resulting structural changes. To prepare the highly branched amylopectin cluster (HBAPC), we first treated waxy rice starch with Thermus scotoductus alpha-glucanotransferase (TSalphaGT), followed by treatment with Bacillus stearothermophilus maltogenic amylase (BSMA). Highly branched amylos...

Cereal Chem. 71(6):582-587 Commercial corn starches containing 0-70% amylose were extruded formation of complexes between amylose and lipids. Maximum binding with and without various lipids (myristic, stearic, and behenic acids; monowas observed for myristic acid and 70% amylose starch. No binding was glyceride Dimodan PV; and tristearin) in a single-screw laboratory observed with tristearin. P...

Buckwheat, a pseudo cereal, is an alternative crop belonging to the family Polygonaceae. Buckwheat is generally grouped with cereals due to similarity in cultivation and utilization though it is not cereal grain. Two types of buckwheat are used around the world: common buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum Moench) and tartary buckwheat (Fagopyrum tataricum) depending on the production zone. Generally...

the objective of this research was to compare the tensile, permeability, solubility and color properties of plasticized starch-polyvinyl alcohol-montmo-rillonite (ps-pva-mmt) and plasticized starch-polyvinyl alcohol-cellulose nanocrystal (ps-pva-ncc) bionanocomposite flms. the results showed that adding mmt (7%), increased the ultimate tensile strenght from 4.2 mpa to 4.61 mpa, however, ncc (7%...

Millets are an underutilized and important drought-resistant crop, which mainly used for animal feed. The major constituent in millet is starch (70%); represents alternative source of starches like maize, rice, potato, etc. This encouraged us to isolate characterize the from different sources evaluate application these edible film preparation. In present study, physicochemical, morphological, f...
