shampoos are products which remove surface grease and dirt from the hair shaft and scalp. the cleansing or detergent action of a shampoo is a primary function. however, the foaming characteristic of a shampoo has an important role in its acceptability. often alkanolamides are used for the formation of a stable foam; but because of producing nitrosamines, they are potentially carcinogenic compou...

vermicompost produced from sugarcane bagasse (sbv) or sawdust (s) were substituted at a range of different concentration in soilless bedding plant container medium, as a peat: vermiculite: perlite (6:3:1), to evaluate their effects on the growth of dieffenbachia amoena in the greenhouse. dieffenbachia amoena was grown in container medium pe: ve: p (6:3:1), in that peat substituted with 0%, 10%,...

selection of superior chance seedling genotypes is an important task in pear breeding programs. this research was carried out in order to explore and evaluate some of european pear (pyrus communis l.) chance seedling genotypes that are primarily used as rootstock for the asian pear (pyrus serotina rehd.) in tarbiat modares university (tmu) asian pear collection orchard. after four years visual ...

margarine contains a higher level of unsaturated and trans-fatty acids (tfa) than butter. the aim of this study was to investigate the physicochemical properties of these products in iranian market during storage. physicochemical analyses included fatty acid composition, peroxide and anisidine values, slip melting point (smp), color, chlorophyll content, solid fat content (sfc) and texture anal...

Self-assembly is a ubiquitous physicochemical phenomenon. It is inherent to molecular recognition effects in the biological domain, and thus presents a basis for understanding the constitution and dynamic organization of living beings. However, it is argued in this paper that the very notion of self-assembly presents an incorrect and misleading one for the physical effects that it stands for. S...

Transferon, a biotherapeutic agent that has been used for the past 2 decades for diseases with an inflammatory component, has been approved by regulatory authorities in Mexico (COFEPRIS) for the treatment of patients with herpes infection. The active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) of Transferon is based on polydispersion of peptides that have been extracted from lysed human leukocytes by a dia...

abstract: fermented cucumber is a traditional lactic acid fermentation that is related to the presence of microorganisms. in this study, the use of suitable l. plantarum starter culture with l.bulgaricus and s. thermophilus to improve the cucumber fermentation process with high quality has been studied. cucumbers in brine containing 4 to 6% nacl and 0.2 to 0.4% inulin (w/v) were inoculated with...
