The mucoadhesive properties of chitosan microspheres prepared by different method were evaluated by studying the interaction
between mucin and microspheres in aqueous solution. The interaction was determined by the measurement of mucin adsorbed on
the microspheres. A strong interaction between chitosan microspheres and mucin was detected. The intensity of the interaction
was dependent upon the method of preparation of chitosan microspheres and the amount of mucin added. The extent of mucus adsorption
was proportional to the absolute values of the positive zeta potential of chitosan microspheres. The zeta potential in turn
was found to be dependent upon the method of preparation of microspheres. The adsorption of type III mucin (1% sialic acid
content) was interpreted using Freundlich or Langmuir adsorption isotherms. The values ofr
2 were greater for Langmuir isotherm as compared with Freundlich isotherm. The adsorption of a suspension of chitosan microspheres
in the rat small intestine indicated that chitosan microspheres prepared by tripolyphosphate cross-linking and emulsification
ionotropic gelation can be used as an excellent mucoadhesive delivery system. The microspheres prepared by glutaraldehyde
and thermal cross-linking showed good stability in HC1 as compared with microspheres prepared by tripolyphosphate and emulsification
ionotropic gelation. 相似文献

Potential application of cyclic lipopeptide biosurfactants produced by Bacillus subtilis strains in laundry detergent formulations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Mukherjee AK 《Letters in applied microbiology》2007,45(3):330-335
AIMS: Crude cyclic lipopeptide (CLP) biosurfactants from two Bacillus subtilis strains (DM-03 and DM-04) were studied for their compatibility and stability with some locally available commercial laundry detergents. METHODS AND RESULTS: CLP biosurfactants from both B. subtilis strains were stable over the pH range of 7.0-12.0, and heating them at 80 degrees C for 60 min did not result in any loss of their surface-active property. Crude CLP biosurfactants showed good emulsion formation capability with vegetable oils, and demonstrated excellent compatibility and stability with all the tested laundry detergents. CONCLUSION: CLP biosurfactants from B. subtilis strains act additively with other components of the detergents to further improve the wash quality of detergents. The thermal resistance and extreme alkaline pH stability of B. subtilis CLP biosurfactants favour their inclusion in laundry detergent formulations. SIGNIFICANCE AND IMPACT OF THE STUDY: This study has great significance because it is already known that microbial biosurfactants are considered safer alternative to chemical or synthetic surfactants owing to lower toxicity, ease of biodegradability and low ecological impact. The present study provides further evidence that CLP biosurfactants from B. subtilis strains can be employed in laundry detergents. 相似文献

The ability of biosurfactants and Acinetobacter calcoaceticus to enhance the emulsification and biodegradation of phenanthrene was investigated. Phenanthrene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon that may be derived from various sources, for example incomplete combustion of petroleum fuel, and thus it occurs ubiquitously throughout the environment. In order to assess the efficacy of a biosurfactant microparticle system, emulsification assays and in vitro biodegradation studies were conducted. Emulsification assays were carried out to assess the stability of phenanthrene emulsions. Emulsion stability was determined by the height of the emulsion layer (Emulsification Index) and turbidity. In vitro biodegradation tests were done to estimate phenanthrene degradation from an aqueous system by A. calcoaceticus supplemented with encapsulated (ERhBS) and nonencapsulated biosurfactants (NERhBS). Results show that phenanthrene emulsifications were stabilized after 48 h with NERhBS and remained stable for 72 additional hours. Phenanthrene emulsifications were stabilized with ERhBS after 216 h and remained stable for an additional 96 h. A. calcoaceticus alone and supplemented with rhamnolipid biosurfactant were able to biodegrade 10 to 50 mg L?1 of phenanthrene within 250 h. When supplemented with NERhBS, A. calcoaceticus degraded phenanthrene significantly faster than when nonsupplemented or supplemented with ERhBS. Addition of exogenous biosurfactants was considered to be a major factor driving the direct correlation between decreasing phenanthrene concentration in the system and increasing bacterial biomass. 相似文献

Stabilization of glucose oxidase in alginate microspheres with photoreactive diazoresin nanofilm coatings 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The nanoassembly and photo-crosslinking of diazo-resin (DAR) coatings on small alginate microspheres for stable enzyme entrapment is described. Multilayer nanofilms of DAR with poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) were used in an effort to stabilize the encapsulation of glucose oxidase enzyme for biosensor applications. The activity and physical encapsulation of the trapped enzyme were measured over 24 weeks to compare the effectiveness of nanofilm coatings and crosslinking for stabilization. Uncoated spheres exhibited rapid loss of activity, retaining only 20% of initial activity after one week, and a dramatic reduction in effective activity over 24 weeks, whereas the uncrosslinked and crosslinked {DAR/PSS}-coated spheres retained more than 50% of their initial activity after 4 weeks, which remained stable even after 24 weeks for the two and three bilayer films. Nanofilms comprising more polyelectrolyte layers maintained higher overall activity compared to films of the same composition but fewer layers, and crosslinking the films increased retention of activity over uncrosslinked films after 24 weeks. These findings demonstrate that enzyme immobilization and stabilization can be achieved by using simple modifications to the layer-by-layer self-assembly technique. 相似文献

Extractive work-up of whole-cell biotransformations generally suffers from the formation of stable gels and slimes upon addition of the organic solvent to the cell suspension and the cell-free solution, respectively. This problem has been overcome by enzymatic lysis of emulsifying agents present in the medium through addition of hydrolases. Of these agents, proteases have exhibited the most powerful de-emulsifying activity. Enzyme treatment of cell-free culture media of Saccharomyces cerevisiae with pronase E drastically reduced phase separation time (t(p)) from 1 week to 30 min without significantly affecting product integrity. Yeast cell suspensions were de-emulsified best with protease N-01, where phase separation was complete after 1 h. As was exemplified with cell-free culture media of Lactobacillus kefir, wherein addition of pronase E or protease N-01 reduced t(p) from 1 week to 2 h each, this practical, ready-to-use method is appropriate for both fungal and bacterial biocatalysts. 相似文献

In this work, a novel strategy for the controlled fabrication of biomolecular stimulus responsive water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) multiple emulsion using the membrane emulsification process was investigated. The emulsions interface was functionalized with a biomolecule able to function as a receptor for a target compound. The interaction between the biomolecular receptor and target stimulus activated the release of bioactive molecules contained within the structured emulsion. A glucose sensitive emulsion was investigated as a model study case. Concanavalin A (Con A) was used as the biomolecular glucose sensor. Various physicochemical strategies for stimulus responsive materials formulation are available in literature, but the preparation of biomolecule-responsive emulsions has been explored for the first time in this paper. The development of novel drug delivery systems requires advanced and highly precise techniques to obtain their particular properties and targeting requirements. The present study has proven the flexibility and suitability of membrane emulsification for the preparation of stable and functional multiple emulsions containing Con A as interfacial biomolecular receptor able to activate the release of a bioactive molecule as a consequence of interaction with the glucose target molecule. The influence of emulsion interfacial composition and membrane emulsification operating conditions on droplets stability and functional properties have been investigated. The release of the bioactive molecule as a function of glucose stimulus and its concentration has been demonstrated. 相似文献

Emulsification using environmental compatible emulsifiers and de-emulsification using D.C. field and immobilized Nocardia amarae 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
As environmental compatible emulsifiers, various polysaccharides were investigated and de-emulsification methods were studied using filtration, direct current (D.C.) field, and also Nocardia amarae. 0.01% (v/v) of alginic acid, arabic gum, chitosan, and curdlan showed more than about 2 h of emulsion stability in the half-life of emulsion layer by a homogenizer and showed about twice synergic effects with other polysaccharides in emulsification activity at the ratio of 9:1 (v/v). De-emulsification by 110V D.C. field took about 1 h for the separation of oils from 1 l of oil-in-water emulsion in case of 0.01% arabic gum. Oil-water separator was designed using non-woven fabrics in filtration system and Nocardia amarae grown in n-hexadecane or kerosene was immobilized in the non-woven fabrics. 相似文献
