Health hazards of heavy metal pollution
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2016)
The global population growth, urbanization and the increased energy demand led to serious changes in the environment. Numerous anthropogenic activities release a variety of toxic and potentially toxic pollutants into the ...
Potential of encapsulated phytochemicals in hydrogel particles
(Nanomaterials for Drug Delivery and Therapy, 2019)
In the recent past, bioactive compounds, especially naturally antioxidants, have occupied the main research focus, due to their high biological activity. Plant polyphenols are one of the most potent antioxidants. Encapsulation ...
Immobilized cells
(John Wiley & Sons, 2013)
Gellan gum in drug delivery applications
(Natural Polysaccharides in Drug Delivery and Biomedical Applications, 2019)
The different techniques that enable drug delivery in the desired manner are constantly investigated and developed to enhance patient compliance and drug efficiency and to reduce the side effects of drugs. One of the key ...
Encapsulation systems in the food industry
(Springer, 2013)
Encapsulation is a useful tool to improve the delivery of bioactive and living cells into foods. Encapsulation aims to preserve the stability of the active compounds during processing and storage and to prevent undesirable ...
Compatibilization of polymer blends by the addition of graft copolymers
(Compatibilization of Polymer Blends: Micro and Nano Scale Phase Morphologies, Interphase Characteriz, 2019)
Polymer blends are mixtures of two or more polymers that are very often immiscible components and they need to be compatibilized. The compatibilization must not only ensure improvement in microstructure uniformity, but ...
Erythrocyte membranes: Unique constituent of biological/hybri drug delivery systems
(Erythrocytes: Structure, Functions and Clinical Aspects, 2019)
For many decades, the red blood cell membranes were in focus of research interest solely as a model system for investigation into the various membrane-related phenomena, composition/organization or membrane transport ...
Bioaerosols: Methods for reducing health risks and impact on the environment
(Air Pollution: Management Strategies, Environmental Impact and Health Risks, 2016)
Bioaerosols (biological particles derived from viruses, bacteria, fungi, plants and animals) are ubiquitous in the air. This organic dust is considered to be hazardous to human health. Acute and chronic diseases are health ...
Biodiesel Fuel Production by Enzymatic Transesterification of Oils: Recent Trends, Challenges and Future Perspectives
(IntechOpen, 2011)
Liquid fuels have been used for many years as the most dominant and basic fuel for motor
engines. However, declining fossil fuel resources as well as the tendency for developing
new renewable biofuels have shifted the ...
Vegetable oil as a feedstock for biodiesel synthesis
(Vegetable Oil: Properties, Uses and Benefits, 2016)
Limited reserves of fossil fuels as well as the growing concern for the environment, has led to a worldwide search for renewable energy sources, among which biodiesel, a mixture of fatty acid methyl esters (FAME), is one ...
