Liposome possesses a great number of advantages and therefore they can be used for variety applications. Among other things, serve as useful drug carriers in preclinical clinical trials. Supercritical fluids assisted technology is an appropriate method liposome preparation because its nontoxicity to the environment enables particle size manipulation solvent-free production. Thus, use supercritical (SCFs) provides advanced may become dominant their future. This review discusses classification...
Plant waste materials are important sources of bioactive compounds with remarkable health-promoting benefits. In particular, industrial by-products such as mango peels sustainable substances, antioxidant, enzymatic, and antimicrobial activity. Appropriate processing is essential to obtain highly for further use in generating value-added products the food industry. The objective study was investigate compare biological activity from fresh dried obtained by different conventional methods...
The development of solid acid catalysts, especially based on metal oxides and different magnetic nanoparticles, gained much awareness recently as a result the nano-based materials. Solid catalysts are promising for (trans)esterification reactions oils waste materials biodiesel production. This review gives brief overview recent developments in various oxides, such zirconia, zinc, titanium, iron, tungsten, materials, where optimized reaction parameters, amount catalyst, molar ratio oil to...
The aim of this research was to identify and quantify biologically active compounds from avocado (Persea americana L.) seeds (AS) utilizing different techniques with the use ultrasound (US), ethanol (EtOH), supercritical carbon dioxide (scCO2) for possible applications in (bio)medicine, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, or other relevant industries. Initially, a study process efficiency (η) carried out, which revealed yields range 2.96-12.11 wt%. sample obtained using scCO2 found be richest total...
MNPs were synthesized with co-precipitation of ferrous and ferric ions. Carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) was covalently bound to the influence different concentrations on characteristics CMD coated magnetic nanoparticles (CMD-MNPs) studied. Different applied into synthesis process. The surface morphology CMD-MNPs monitored by scanning transmission electron microscopy, where their spherical shape confirmed. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy displayed characteristic bonds that confirmed...
This study is focused on different extractions (Cold Maceration (CM), Ultrasonic Extraction (UE), Soxhlet (SE) and Supercritical Fluid (SFE)) of bioactive compounds from pomegranate (Punica Granatum L.) fruit peels using methanol, ethanol, acetone as solvents in conventional changing operating pressure (10, 15, 20, 25 MPa) SFE, respectively. The extraction yields, total phenols (TP) proanthocyanidins (PAC) contents, antioxidant activity extracts are revealed. TP PAC recovered by ranged 24.22...
In this study the effect of growth medium strength on minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) different tannins and tannin extracts against Escherichia coli was systematically investigated for first time. Three pure compounds (vescalagin, castalagin gallic acid) five (chestnut, quebracho, mimosa, Colistizer tannic were studied. Broth microdilution assayed bacteria grown using strengths varying from half to double recommended by producer. MICs determined iodonitrotetrazolium chloride (INT) dye...
Due to the growing awareness of Punica granatum fruit’s health-promoting properties, pomegranate is increasingly used for food purposes. This results in formation biological waste products such as peels. A biowaste circular bioeconomy strategy holds great prospective a sustainable economy. Therefore, and environmentally friendly way disposing (e.g., use obtain high-value components punicalagins, enzymes)) crucial protection environment human health. In presented study, content total phenols...
In this study, magnetic maghemite nanoparticles, which belong to the group of metal oxides, were functionalized with chitosan, a non-toxic, hydrophilic, biocompatible, biodegradable biopolymer anti-bacterial effects. This was done using different synthesis methods, and comparison properties synthesized chitosan nanoparticles conducted. Characterization performed scanning electron microscopy (SEM) vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Characterizations size distribution dynamic light...
The influence of initial water concentration on the synthesis n‐butyl oleate was investigated. done with immobilized Mucor miehei lipase—Lypozyme ™ —at various reaction conditions. activity enzyme is lower at higher amounts water. Initial rates, as well equilibrium conversion, increase low concentration. Optimal for lipase temperature dependent pressure 1 bar. Low barely effects esterification 0.032 At high concentrations decrease both pressures.
Abstract A novel method is described for the immobilization of alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) from Saccharomyces cerevisiae onto carboxymethyl dextran (CMD) coated magnetic nanoparticles (CMD-MNPs) activated with epoxy groups, using epichlorohydrin (EClH). EClH was used as an activating agent to bind ADH molecules on surface CMD-MNPs. Optimal conditions (activating concentration, temperature, rotation speed, medium pH, time and enzyme concentration) were set obtain highest expressed activity...
