Problems commonly associated with using nanoemulsions are their cytotoxic effects and low stability profiles. Here, for the first time, concentrations of ingredients of a nanoemulsion system were investigated to obtain the most stable nanoemulsion sy...
According to the European REACH Directive, the acute toxicity towards Daphnia magna should be assessed for any industrial chemical with a market volume of more than 1 t/a. Therefore, it is highly recommended to determine the toxicity at a certain con...
The present investigation aimed to optimize the critical parameters affecting the globule size of self-emulsifying drug delivery system. Based on preliminary screening, three critical parameters, viz., amount of oil, surfactant, and co-surfactant wer...
Nanostructured lipid carriers (NLC) are biocompatible and biodegradable nanoscale systems with extensive application for controlled drug release. However, the development of optimal nanosystems along with a reproducible manufacturing process is still...
An accurate and reliable forecast of biosurfactant production with minimum error is useful in any bioprocess engineering. Bacterial isolate FKOD36 capable of producing biosurfactant was isolated in this study and pre-inoculums was prepared from the a...
Biosurfactants are a series of organic compounds that are composed of two parts, hydrophobic and hydrophilic, and since they have properties such as less toxicity and biodegradation, they are widely used in the food industry. Important applications i...
This study presents the kinetics of production of a glycolipopeptide biosurfactant in a medium previously co-optimized by response surface and neural network methods to gain some insight into its volumetric and specific productivities for possible sc...
