Mustard oil is a fatty vegetable oil which is obtained from mustard seeds. There are basically three varieties of mustard oil available. The difference between these three varieties lies in the method of extraction, chemical composition and properties. The fatty vegetable mustard oil is extracted by pressing mustard seeds. Mustard oil is obtained by cold compression of the mustard seeds and by infusing this extracted oil with other oils to get the final product. Essential mustard oil is obtained…

from being damaged by the hydrochloric acid it produced.  Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is a clear, liquid. Which is produced in our stomach when we eat a meal. The major role that it plays in our stomach is to break down food and cause the release of enzymes that further aid in digestion. It is also used as a solider in our body; it protects the body from illness by killing…

The objective of work was to optimize, formulate, evaluate and compare the transdermal gel containing vesicle based: Transfersomes and liposomes, containing Ketoconazole, an anti-fungal bioactive. Ketoconazole loaded Transfersomes were prepared using thin film hydration method with different concentration of surfactant (Span80, Tween80, and Sodium Deoxycholate) and soya lecithin and characterized for various parameters including Vesicles Size, Morphology, Entrapment Efficiency, Drug Loading…

Lignocellulosic biomass consists of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, proteins, acids, salts and minerals. Chemical composition is also one of the important factors for biofuel production. Moisture content of raw pearl millet biomass was (8 %) and ash content (6.27 %) was obviously higher than that the literature report of 3.8 % (Dhabhai et al., 2012). The proximate analysis of pearl millet biomass revealed that moisture (8±0.32%), ash (6.27±0.08%), total solids (92±0.14%), water extractives…

3.2.4.1 Proximate Analysis Proximate analysis is done to determine the moisture content, total ash, crude fat, crude protein, crude fiber and total carbohydrate of each mayonnaise samples with different grape seed extract percentages. 3.2.4.1.1 Moisture Content The moisture contents of mayonnaise samples with different grape seed extract percentages are determined by air oven drying according to the official AOAC method 930.15 (2003) with a slight modification (Babajide & Olatunde, 2010). First…

B Sridhar et al (2012) studied Purification and Characterization of Biosurfactants. The emulsifications of biosurfactants were checked in various oils such as olive, coconut, sunflower and rice bran oils, the emulsification activity of biosurfactants. Pseudomonas aeruginosa had higher emulsification activity than Saccharomyces cerevisiae. While checking the sugar and lipid content in biosurfactants by phenol sulphuric acid method and vanillin reagent method, found high in Pseudomonas aeruginosa…

Introduction We are testing the affect of substances on bread mould growth. The question we’re hoping to carry out is what antiseptic and cleaning substances would have on the effect of the growth of bread mould. And whether it would inhibit the mould, increase the growth of the mould or have no effect at all. Hypothesises: it is expected that antiseptic substances such as Jik, Mr Muscle and Handy Andy will inhibit the growth of fungi, as these antiseptic substances will effectively stop the…

Normal standards for specific gravity are as typically as follows: 1.000 to 1.030 is a normal specific gravity, 1.001 after drinking excessive amounts of water, more than 1.030 after not drinking very many fluids and concentrated after receiving an antidiuretic hormone (ADH). Max’s urine concentration varied in concentration each time he was tested. The first test showed that his urine was a pale yellow which was an indication that he was hydrated. The second test showed the concentration to be…

Background Research: Cellular respiration occurs in all living organisms. ATP is a molecule that is made from food. Yeast uses cellular respiration as well. While the process of cellular respiration occurs in yeast, carbon dioxide is produced. Stephanie Lamot of Northeastern Illinois University conducted an experiment on how different types of sugar have an effect on yeast. Her conclusions were that the more yeast added to sugar, the faster the production of CO2 is. Hypothesis: The rate…
