The presence of chromium in the effluent is a major concern for tanning industry. Currently, chemical precipitation methods are practiced removal from effluent, but that leads to formation chrome-bearing solid wastes. other membrane separation and ion exchange available unfeasible due their cost. In this study, tannery has been carried out using abundantly brown seaweed Sargassum wightii. Simulated chrome solution was used standardization experimental trials. Various factors influencing...
Abstract A biodurable porous scaffold of collagen with good biocompatibility and enhanced wound healing potential is prepared through casting technique using tannic acid (TA) as crosslinker. The morphological analysis the cross‐linked (TCCs) distinctively shows scaly interlinks large pores. enzymatic stability characterized in vitro to detail role TA stabilization matrix against collagenolytic degradation. TCCs more (>54%) collagenase than that scaffolds (Cs). attenuated total reflectance...
Abstract Keratin from the hoof is a less explored source for making valuable products. In this paper we present extraction of pure keratin bovine hooves and characterized them to better address possible exploitation bio-resource as an alternative material tissue engineering applications. The protein pulverized was extracted by reduction, which observed be pure, two polypeptide chains molecular weight in range 45–50 55–60 KDa were determined using SDS-PAGE assay. FTIR analysis complementing...
A novel scaffold for effective wound healing treatment was developed utilizing natural product bearing collagen-based biocompatible electrospun nanofibers. Initially, ostholamide (OSA) synthesized from osthole (a coumarin), characterized by 1H, 13C, DEPT-135 NMR, ESI-MS, and FT-IR spectroscopy analysis. OSA incorporated into polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) gelatin (GEL), which serve as templates The coating of OSA-PHB-GEL nanofibers with collagen resulted in PHB-GEL-OSA-COL nanofibrous mimics...
Abstract Fibrils of Type I collagen in the skin are exposed to ultraviolet (UV) light and there have been claims that photo‐degradation leads wrinkles may contribute cancers. To understand effects UV radiation on collagen, solutions were UV‐C wavelength 254 nm for defined lengths time at 4°C. Circular dichroism (CD) experiments show irradiation high loss triple helical content with a new lower thermal stability peak SDS‐gel electrophoresis indicates breakdown chains. better define...
The present study involves the development of citric acid-cross-linked carboxymethyl cellulose (C3CA) scaffolds by a freeze-drying process. Scaffolds were fabricated at different freezing temperatures -20, -40, or -80 °C to investigate influence scaffold pore size on bone regeneration. All three porous in structure, and was measured be 74 ± 4, 55 6, 46 5 μm for scaffolds. pores larger processed -20 compared -40 °C, indicating reduction with decrease temperature. cytocompatibility, cell...
