The effect of denture adhesives on Candida albicans growth in vitro.

Gerodontology 29(2) , e348-56, (2012)

Denture-wearing favours the growth of Candida. In view of the fact that many denture wearers regularly use adhesives to enhance denture retention, stability and function, the aim of this work was to study the effect of denture adhesives on Candida albicans gr...

Green synthesis of copper oxide nanoparticles using gum karaya as a biotemplate and their antibacterial application.

Int. J. Nanomedicine 8 , 889-98, (2013)

Copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticles have attracted huge attention due to catalytic, electric, optical, photonic, textile, nanofluid, and antibacterial activity depending on the size, shape, and neighboring medium. In the present paper, we synthesized CuO nanopar...

Biological activity of some naturally occurring resins, gums and pigments against in vitro LDL oxidation.

Phytother Res. 17(5) , 501-7, (2003)

Naturally occurring gums and resins with beneficial pharmaceutical and nutraceutical properties were tested for their possible protective effect against copper-induced LDL oxidation in vitro. Chiosmastic gum (CMG) (Pistacia lentiscus var. Chia resin) was the ...

Lyophilised wafers as vehicles for the topical release of chlorhexidine digluconate—Release kinetics and efficacy against Pseudomonas aeruginosa

Int. J. Pharm. 439(1-2) , 157-64, (2012)

There is a requirement to deliver accurate amounts of broad spectrum antimicrobial compounds locally to exuding wounds. Varying amounts of exudate complicates this process by limiting the residence and therefore efficacy of active substances. Minimum bacteric...

[Analysis of thickening polysaccharides by the improved diethyldithioacetal derivatization method].

Shokuhin Eiseigaku Zasshi 52(1) , 40-6, (2011)

The identification test for thickening polysaccharides containing neutral saccharides and uronic acids was investigated by GC analysis of constituent monosaccharides. The reported method, in which monosaccharides were converted to diethyldithioacetal derivati...

Exudate gums: occurrence, production, and applications.

Appl. Microbiol. Biotechnol. 63(1) , 10-21, (2003)

This paper presents a review of the industrially most relevant exudate gums: gum arabic, gum karya, and gum tragacanth. Exudate gums are obtained as the natural exudates of different tree species and exhibit unique properties in a wide variety of applications...

Evaluation of selected polysaccharide excipients in buccoadhesive tablets for sustained release of nicotine.

Drug Dev. Ind. Pharm. 30(6) , 609-17, (2004)

Some naturally occurring biocompatible materials were evaluated as mucoadhesive controlled release excipients for buccal drug delivery. A range of tablets were prepared containing 0-50% w/w xanthan gum, karaya gum, guar gum, and glycol chitosan and were teste...

Flow behavior characteristics of ice cream mix made with buffalo milk and various stabilizers.

Plant Foods Hum. Nutr. 57(1) , 25-40, (2002)

Ice cream made with buffalo milk, using optimum levels of various stabilizers of plant origin, was evaluated for its flow behavior characteristics, with the objective of producing an acceptable quality product. The minimum variation in the viscosity of mix wa...

Karaya root saponin exerts a hypocholesterolemic response in rats fed a high-cholesterol diet.

Nutr. Res. 29(5) , 350-4, (2009)

Different sources of saponins are known to have hypocholesterolemic activity with varying degrees of efficacy. We hypothesize that karaya root saponin would efficiently reduce cholesterol. The aim of this study is to examine the comparative hypocholesterolemi...

Physical properties of gum karaya-starch-essential oil patches.

AAPS PharmSciTech 11(3) , 1276-86, (2010)

Essential oils are used in foods, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. Despite the recent marketing of novel essential-oil-containing patches, there is no information on their production, constituents, or physical properties. The objectives of this study were to p...
