Critical micelle concentration (CMC) is the main chemical–physical parameter to be determined for pure surfactants their characterization in terms of surface activity and self-assembled aggregation. The CMC values can calculated from different techniques (e.g., tensiometry, conductivity, fluorescence spectroscopy), able follow variation a physical property with surfactant concentrations. Different mathematical approaches have been applied determination raw experimental data. Most them are...
Most insecticides commonly used in storage facilities are synthetic, an issue that generates concerns about food safety and public health. Therefore, the development of eco-friendly pest management tools is urgently needed. In present study, a 6% (w/w) Hazomalania voyronii essential oil-based nanoemulsion (HvNE) was developed evaluated for managing Tribolium confusum, T. castaneum, Tenebrio molitor, as wheat protectant. Larval adult mortality after 4, 8, 16 h, 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7 days, testing...
Ropinirole is a non-ergolinic dopamine agonist used to manage Parkinson's disease and it characterized by poor oral bioavailability. This study aimed design develop advanced drug delivery systems composed of poloxamer 407, non-ionic surfactant (Tween 80), cyclodextrins (methyl-β-CD or hydroxy-propyl-β-CD) for possible brain targeting ropinirole after nasal administration the treatment disease. The hybrid were formed thin-film hydration method, followed an extensive physicochemical...
Three-dimensional (3D) printing, or additive manufacturing, is a group of innovative technologies that are increasingly employed for the production 3D objects in different fields, including pharmaceutics, engineering, agri-food and medicines. The most processed materials by printing techniques (e.g., fused deposition modelling, FDM; selective laser sintering, SLS; stereolithography, SLA) polymeric since they offer chemical resistance, low cost have easy processability. However, one main...
Background/Objectives: Thickened waters are commonly used for dysphagic patients to ensure hydration, facilitate safer swallowing, and administer oral therapies, yet their impact on drug dissolution remains unclear. This study aims investigate how thickening agents, viscosity, solid dosage form (SODF) formulations influence release in gelled vehicles. Methods: Twelve commercially available thickened waters, including both ready-to-use products powders extemporaneous preparation, were...
The wine industry faces increasing challenges related to authenticity, safety, and sustainability due recurrent fraud, shifting consumer preferences, environmental concerns. In this study, part of the B.I.O.C.E.R.T.O project, we integrated blockchain technology with ultrasonic spectroscopy soil quality data by using arthropod-based Soil Biological Quality Index (QBS-ar), enhance traceability, ensure quality, certify sustainable vineyard practices. Four representative wines from Marche region...
N-Acyl amino acids are biodegradable anionic amphiphilic molecules made up of linear fatty as hydrophobic tails and polar heads, which promising for their applicability in different technological fields. In the light widening use, a deeper understanding interactions with biological membranes is required, especially to further assess toxicological profile. We investigated interaction between N-decanoyl acid surfactants phospholipid bilayers simple vitro models comparison sodium dodecyl...
Hydrolyzed keratin (HK) refers to any hydrolysate of a different origin derived by acid, alkali, enzymatic, or other methods hydrolysis. HK is water soluble and has distinct chemical–physical properties compared fibrous keratin. Although employed across various technological sectors, there notable gap in the literature regarding detailed commercially available HKs. This study aims address this providing thorough analysis surface-active, emulsifying, thickening three The results reveal...
Polymeric hydrogels are common dosage forms designed for the topical administration of antimicrobial drugs to treat vaginal infections. One major advantages using chitosan in these formulations is related intrinsic and broad activity exerted on bacteria fungi by this natural polymer. Most yeast infections caused pathogenic fungus Candida albicans. However, despite anti-Candida towards strains susceptibility low molecular weight being documented, no information available regarding efficacy...
