...iffusion method using Ca-alginate. Pumpkin seed oil macrospheres showed 91.9 % encapsulation efficiency and 63.0 % loading capacity by direct extrusion method. However, indirect or diffusion method showed 43.0 % and 24.7 %. These results showed that direct method of encapsulation was suitable for oils to achieve maximum encapsulation efficiency and loading capacity at higher concentration of calcium chloride i.e. 0.5 M. Antimicrobial assay clearly indicated th...

...), 18% starch, 6% sodium alginate, 4% sodium silicate, and 2% urea. Termites infested monitoring stations installed in a sugarcane field were treated with the formulated bait beads and were inspected for termite activity at 15 and 30 days post-treatment. Results of initial in-vitro trials indicated that formulated beads remained intact and did not disintegrate by consecutive episodes of wetting and drying and were able to attract more than 50% termite individu...

... perforatum, and calcium alginate scaffold-loadable calcium alginate on infected wounds with Staphylococcus aureus was investigated in diabetic rats. Eight groups of 12 rats in any group were diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of alloxan. After the rats were anesthetized, 2cm2 wounds were created and inoculated with bacterial suspension of S. aureus (ATCC 12600) equivalent to the 0.5 MacFarland tube. The hydroalcoholic ex...

...ein (CP), ash, salt, and alginate contents. The results revealed a significant (p<0.05) impact on OM, CP, ash, salt, and alginate contents but did not significantly affect DM. Immersing P. australis in flowing water for 4 h is the optimal duration for decreasing salt content up to 97.62% while increasing CP and alginate levels proportionally. Immersion treatment in flowing water maintai...
