Abstract In the present work, sustainable nanomaterials, cellulose, and spherical cellulose nanocrystals (SCNCs) were isolated from non-edible parts of jackfruit ( Artocarpus heterophyllus) . Of three different methods tested, sodium chlorite treatment produced highest yield 20.08 ± 0.05% w/w (dry weight). Peaks observed in CP/MAS 13 C NMR spectrum FTIR frequencies revealed presence α-cellulose absence other biomass fractions like hemicellulose lignin. XRD analysis showed a high...
<div class="section abstract"><div class="htmlview paragraph">The huge energy demand and environmental anxiety have focused the interest on alternative fuels to diesel engine. This suggested worldwide search for renewable, less pollutant agricultural-based fuel. Also, attention is given increasing efficiency of a conventional engine when running fuels. Non-edible oil derived from <i>Pongamia pinnata</i> <i>Azadirachta indica</i> seed blends as an fuel been...
Application of multiple response optimizations using desirability function in the production microbial metabolites improves economy and efficiency. Concurrent cellulase xylanase Trichoderma reesei NCIM 1186 an agricultural weed, Prosopis juliflora pods, was studied. The main aim study to optimize significant medium nutrient parameters for maximization by multi-objective optimization strategy biomass. Process such as concentrations (pods, sucrose, yeast extract) pH were investigated improve...
Self-emulsifying drug delivery systems (SNEDDS) are highly in quest due to their innumerable benefits like better portability, improved stability and higher loading, coupled with ease economy of production. SNEDDS used improve the solubility high lipophilic drugs. improving oral bioavailability limited water-soluble compounds. These isotrophic mixtures oil, surfactant, co-surfactant that form oil water emulsion aqueous environment under gentle agitation. This paper presents an overview...
Abstract l -Asparaginase production was investigated in the isolated Aspergillus niger C4 on sesame (black) oil cake using solid state fermentation a column bioreactor. The main objective of present study is optimizing environmental conditions for In order to determine effect process variables yield -Asparaginase, by way response surface methodology, an experimental plan (Box–Behnken design) involving design matrix 15 trails sketched. results were fitted with surfaces. Empirical quadratic...
Nano particle formulations, especially protein based formulations are great drug delivery systems for a targeted and sustained release. The Specificity lies with the receptor-ligand binding mechanism adopted by them. Metformin hydrochloride (MET) is widely used biguanide oral antidiabetic agent, against Type II diabetes. In its free form, it suffers some shortcomings like poor bioavailability site specific absorption frequent dosage administration requirement short half life. With vision of...
Abstract The production of renewable and sustainable biofuels using inevitable wastes is a promising alternative to the alarming depletion fossil fuels. Significantly, biorefinery lignocellulosic waste, as an fuel source, prognosticating approach tackle many agricultural/forestry residues offers circular economy well environmental benefits. But, heterogeneity biomass one major bottlenecks in biorefinery. Thus characterization essential understanding feedstock's nature, composition...
Levosulpiride (LSP) is a hydrophobic benzamide derivative used in the treatment of schizophrenia. SNEDDS were extensively practiced for systemic delivery poorly aqueous soluble drugs to achieve maximum bioavailability.The present study was focussed on formulation, optimisation and evaluation LSP using castor oil, enhancement drug absorption bioavailability.Pseudo-ternary phase diagram plotted identify range components. Twenty formulations designed, prepared characterised by its particle...
