Comparison of Physicochemical and Binding Properties of Novicel™ Microcrystalline Cellulose and Avicel® PH 101 in Direct Compression of Ascorbic Acid Tablets
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a key excipient in formulation and production of pharmaceutical solid dosage forms such
as tablets. In this study, the microcrystalline cellulose (Novicel™) obtained from sugarcane bagasse (a waste material from
sugarcane factories) was compared with Avicel PH 101 (a commercially available MCC) for its physicochemical characteristics
and potential as a dry binder in direct compression of ascorbic acid tablets.
Determination of the Physicochemical Properties of Singed Cowhide Meat Effluent from Akure Metropolis, Ondo State, Nigeria
Cowhide has been considered an alternative to meat for many years in Nigeria and other West-African countries. It is processed to be edible and deliciously inclusive in African recipes that call for assorted meats. The physicochemical properties assessed are pH, temperature, total suspended solids (TSS), total dissolved solids (TDS), total solids (TS), turbidity, salinity, biological oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), total alkalinity, dissolved oxygen (DO), electrical conductivity (EC)
chloride, nitrate, sulphate, phosphate, color, and odor.

Tellurium is a chemical element, which known to have many industrial applications, i.e., manufacturing of semiconductor, metal
alloys, etc.
Proximate Composition and Quality Characterization of Oil Extracted From Moringa Oleifera Kernel Using Different Extraction Method
This study investigates proximate composition and characterization of Moringa oleifera seed-oil using four methods of extraction (Cold pressing (CP), Enzyme assisted cold pressing (EACP), Enzyme assisted aqueous extraction (EAAE) and solvent extraction (SE)) and compared with olive oil. The results of proximate analysis of the kernel reveals (7.20 moisture content, 43.12 protein, 33.16 fat, 3.51 Ash, and 6.81 Carbohydrate by difference) %, while the oil yield obtained for CP, EACP, EAAE and SE were (7.75, 12.08, 23.25 and 33.16)%. The fatty acids composition and bioactive compounds were determined through GC-MS analysis. Melting and crystallization temperature ranges: -15.86 to 3.21 and 8.30 to -13.63 °C, respectively. There is a significant difference in term of oil yield, with cold pressing method having the lowest oil yield of 7.8 %. However, the quality of CP extracted Moringa oleifera oil was compared with virgin olive oil; it revealed its potentials as a good source of oleic acid making it to be a good substitute for virgin olive oil.
Topical Delivery System for Phytochemicals: Capsaicin and Capsicum Tincture
Capsaicin, an active ingredient of Capsicum fruit, is currently undergoing “revival” in the clinical management of pain. However, the choice of its formulation is rather limited to the use of “old-fashioned” tinctures and recently the patches. In an attempt to improve the therapeutic outcome and develop its skin-friendly formulation, we prepared the vesicle-based drug delivery system with capsaicin.
