Cellulose is a well known carbohydrate that is currently being impressively utilized within the food industry. Derivatives of cellulose, can be used to improve texture, to act as edible microcomposite films, and to provide antibacterial packaging. Some cellulose derivatives are carboxymethyl cellulose, microcrystalline cellulose, hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose, and microfibrillated cellulose (Belitz et al. 2009). Cellulose is a polysaccharide derived from plant cell walls that is digestible by the

JPRHC Review Article REVIEW ON PHYTOCHEMISTRY AND PHARMACOLOGICAL ASPECTS OF EUPHORBIA HIRTA LINN. SANDEEP B. PATIL*, MRS. NILOFAR S. NAIKWADE, CHANDRAKANT S. MAGDUM For author affiliations, see end of text This paper is available online at www.jprhc.com ABSTRACT: Medicinal herbs are the local heritage with global importance. Medicinal herbs have curative properties due to presence of various complex chemical substance of different composition, which are found as secondary plant metabolites in

nanosheets/PLL, to form a stable modified surface of GO/PLL-LbL or GO/PLL-H membranes. The pristine and coated membranes were analyzed to confirm the successful grafting of GO/PLL, and the structure, topography, thermal stability, surface coating density, antibacterial, hydrophilicity and surface charge properties of the membranes were studied. Chapter 4 demonstrates the utilization of oxygenated, one step in-situ deposition of DA to immobilize the GO nanosheets onto the membrane surface. The coating conditions

Antibiotic resistance is considered one of the largest threats to the health of people today around the world. It renders normal antibiotics almost useless in curing some illnesses, leaving people with no form of treatment. This resistance develops through a process similar to natural selection. In this way Charles Darwin’s famous Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection can be seen as a form of evidence for antibiotic resistance occurring. Currently, there are studies taking place into stopping

This is an Extended Experimental Investigation on a bacterial outbreak in a workplace. The key ideas and concept, is based around health and disease with the prevention of bacteria being the key purpose. The intention of the EEI is to develop a scenario which can be modified to demonstrate and test different variables, these variables include, water, soap, anti-bacterial soap and Dettol’s effect on the chosen bacterial outbreak. The chosen bacteria is, Staphylococcus Epidermidis and its effect in

skin so it is recommended to always wash your hands and receive vaccinations. Antibiotics are not as effective like it was back in the days, because microorganisms learned to be resistant to it. There is antibacterial, antiviral and antituberculosis agents to control microorganisms. Antibacterial agents destroys microbes and prevent it from multiplying. Antituberculosis are agents that treat diseases that

Nature Finds a Way: Antibiotic Resistance in Streptococcus Pneumoniae Introduction There is an estimate of 1 million children age five and under dying to Streptococcus pneumoniae (S. pneumoniae) each year (Schrag S, Beall B, and Dowell S 2001). This is due to the growing threat of bacteria becoming resistant to more and more antibiotics. The first case of S. pneumoniae becoming resistant to an antibiotic was in 1965, to penicillin, just twenty-two years after the drug was first created. This is cause

Tannins compounds that have a tendency to interact with aqueous solutions

Novel Applications for Si-facilitated Dental Implant Osseointegration and Periodontal Guided Bone Regeneration: A Review of the Current Literature Silicon has been used as a crucial component of restorative-driven biomaterials in dentistry. However, the use of silicon for periodontally-driven therapies and dental implant treatment outcomes has not been explored as extensively -- as there are certain unique properties of this metalloid that are functionally plausible as an evident potential useful

honey for treatment of wounds, and unprocessed honey is still used today across the world for wound treatment (Simon et al, 2009). There have been many modern studies to study both the antibacterial effects of honey and its effect on wound healing. While natural unprocessed honey is known to have certain antibacterial properties, the studies that I reviewed for this this paper all reviewed the effectiveness of medical honey. Medical honey is a standardized and sterilized form of honey produced especially
