Eco Safe Assimilation of Plastic Wastes by Microbes and Biodegradable Alternatives: A Review
Lack of degradability and the closing of landfill sites as well as growing water and land pollution problems have led
to concern about plastics. In the past few decades, the use of plastics has enormously increased, mostly used for food
packaging. Ironically, the most preferred property of plastics – durability – exerts also the major environmental threat.
With the excessive use of plastics and increasing pressure being placed on capacities available for plastic waste disposal,
the need for biodegradable plastics and biodegradation of plastic wastes has assumed increasing importance in the last
few years.
Comparative Study on the Nutritional and Anti-Nutritional Compositions of Sweet and Bitter Cassava Varieties for Garri Production
A comparative study on the proximate, mineral amino acid and anti nutritional compositions of sweet and bitter cassava varieties was
done to ascertain the nutritional quality and safety after 72 h of fermentation for garri production.
Evaluation of Luffa Aegyptica Mill Powder: A Novel Superdisintegrant in Delayed Release Tablets
The current research in the field of drug delivery by which pulsatile release can be achieved has been intensified. The objective of the present study was to evaluate Luffa aegyptica mill powder as a novel superdisintegrant in the development of pulsatile drug delivery system (PDDS).
Croscarmellose Sodium Efficiency in the Development of a Generic Capsule Formulation of Piroxicam, Comparable Dissolution Profile to the Innovator Product, Feldene
The objective of this study was to evaluate the encapsulation performance of Croscarmellose sodium, a superdisintegrant in a low-dose, poor-solubility drug formulation and the in-vitro dissolution performance of the Piroxicam capsules. Preparation, characterization and evaluation of the effects of the different concentrations of carmellose sodium and the amount of dried starch on in-vitro dissolution of Piroxicam capsules. Piroxicam was chosen for its very low solubility in biological fluids, which result in poor systemic bioavailability after oral administration. Piroxicam can be categorized as Class II drugs according to the Biopharmaceutics Classification System.
Complete Green Synthesis of Gold Nanoparticles using Laser Ablation in Deionized Water Containing Chitosan and Starch
In this paper we report our results on the green synthesis of nontoxic, stable, and small size gold nanoparticle suspensions. We used the
single and two-beam laser to ablate a gold target submerged in deionized water containing chitosan or starch as the stabilizing agent.
Since both chitosan and starch are biodegradable and biocompatible, use of these natural polymers for gold nanoparticle protection
and stabilization does not introduce any environmental toxicity or biological hazards.
