A modified liquid phase epitaxy apparatus for semiconductor materials was used to measurethe solubility of GaAs in Bi.Two phase diagrams rich in Bi under H_2 and N_2 atmosphereswere obtained according to the results of measurement.A new phenomenon,in which theparameter Q value(quantity of GaAs dissolved in Bi in fixed time/saturation quantitu,ofGaAs in Bi)was different from each other at various temperatures and there existed a maxi-mum Q value at definite temperature,was observed.This phenomenon may be regarded as acommon feature of a simple binary metallic system which has the phase diagram similar tothat of Bi-GaAs.The difference observed from the dependence of Q values on temperature inboth H_2 and N_2 atmospheres was discussed. 相似文献
Context: Most of the active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) suffer from a drawback of poor aqueous solubility. In addition to the same, some APIs show poor tabletting behavior creating problems in formulation development. Crystal engineering can be an efficient tool in rectification of such problems associated with the APIs. Thus present work deals with crystallization of ibuprofen (a model drug) onto the surface of dicalcium phosphate (DCP) particles using different techniques.
Objective: The objective of the present work was to prepare ibuprofen-loaded DCP particles and further to analyze them for compressibility and dissolution behavior.
Materials and methods: Various crystallization techniques such as solvent evaporation (SE), melt crystallization (MC), melt sonocrystallization (MSC), antisolvent crystallization (AC), and antisolvent sonocrystallization (ASC) were screened for the preparation of ibuprofen-loaded DCP. Products obtained from different techniques were analyzed for physicochemical, micromeritic and compression properties.
Results and discussion: ASC technique was found to be suitable for preparing directly compressible ibuprofen-loaded DCP particles. The change in the crystal habit (needle to plate shape) of ibuprofen and its crystallization in miniscular form onto the surface of DCP particles showed significant improvement in the dissolution rate and compression properties of ibuprofen due to an increase in specific surface area when compared with ibuprofen crystallized by other techniques. Additionally, the tablets prepared from ASC powder did not require binder since ibuprofen acted as melt binder during compression.
Conclusion: Directly compressible ibuprofen-loaded DCP particles can serve as an alternative for conventional ibuprofen tablets prepared by wet granulation technique. 相似文献
The production of crab meatballs generates large amount of crab shell waste, it is therefore necessary to develop a green, economical and environmentally friendly process to vaporize the waste. This study was aimed at investigating the applicability of microwave heating combined with ultrasonic field-assisted alkaline protease (MUSED) (50 ℃, pH = 9.0, 14025.67 U/g, 4.21 h and liquid/material = 14.41:1) for pretreatment of ball-milled crab shells. The ball milling efficiency of the crab shell powder pretreated by MUSED was observed to increase by 50 % compared to the control group, with the final average particle size of D4 = 4.88 ± 0.20 um. High calcium solubility and low energy consumption of the ball-milled powder increased dietary calcium bioavailability and reduced the potential for high calorie intake. The addition of 6 % (w/w) crab shell powder treated by MUSED improved the texture of the crab meatballs (CM-D4) and gave the product enhanced crab flavor relative to the control group. Moreover, the lower cooking loss of CM-D4 resulted in significant retention of nutrients (p < 0.05). The crab shell powder treated by MUSED method was more efficient in ball milling, which improved the quality of crab meatballs while relieving environmental pressure. 相似文献
Prior generalizations about the ecological roles of monoterpenes may be misleading if based on the presumed insolubility of monoterpenes in water. We determined the aqueous solubility of 31 biologically active monoterpenes by gas chromatography. While hydrocarbons were of low solubility (< 35 ppm), oxygenated monoterpenes exhibited solubilities one or two orders of magnitude higher, with ranges of 155–6990 ppm for ketones and of 183–1360 ppm for alcohols. Many monoterpenes are phytotoxic in concentrations under 100 ppm, well below the saturated aqueous concentrations of oxygenated monoterpenes. Therefore, even dilute, unsaturated solutions of monoterpenes, occurring naturally in plant tissues and soil solutions, may act as potent biological inhibitors. 相似文献
Reduced-lipid soy protein isolate (SPI), prepared from soy flour treated so that most of the polar lipids have been removed,
exhibited an increase in protein solubility of 50% over that of the control SPI prepared from hexane-defatted flour. Adding
lipids from a commercial SPI during processing of reduced-lipid SPI decreased SPI solubility by 46%. The 19% decreased solubility
caused by the lipids (primarily phospholipids) was largely recovered by treating the protein with a reducing agent (2-mercaptoethanol).
The balance of protein insolubility, caused by the lipids, was attributed to a smaller lipid fraction (approximately 5% of
the total lipids). Adding lipids during SPI processing contributed to both the formation of oxidized protein sulfhydryls,
incapable of being reduced by 2-mercaptoethanol, and to oxidative deterioration of protein as determined by protein carbonyl
contents. 相似文献
