The development of hydrogel films for biomedical applications is interesting due to their characteristics. Hydrogel films based on gelatin and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) are developed and characterized using a rotatable central composite design. The optimized hydrogel film is obtained by the function desirability of the Statistica® software and is also characterized by swelling kinetics, oxygen permeability, adhesiveness, TGA, DSC, and XRD. The results of the experimental design show that gelatin and PVA concentrations have a significant influence on the response variables, and the exposure doses to UV light show no significant effect. The optimized hydrogel film is elastic, presents good mechanical resistance and swelling capacity in water and exudate solution, is permeable to oxygen, and is capable of adjusting itself and maintains contact close to the skin. In this way, considering all the properties evaluated, the optimized film has characteristics suitable for biomedical applications as wound dressings.

The aim of this study was to optimize the monoepoxidation process of linoleic acid obtained from Malaysian Jatropha curcas oil using central composite design (CCD). There were four independent variable factors had been studied which involved reaction temperature (X1), reaction time (X2), catalyst loading (X3) and H2O2 concentration (X4). Thirty experiments were carried out based on the experimental design responses obtained. The results showed that the optimum condition was obtained at catalyst loading of 0.11% (w/w) methyltrioxorhernium (VII) (MTO), H2O2 mole of 99%, reaction temperature of 58.41oC for 5 hours. The central composite design was proven to be simpler method, time saving and required less samples compared to the conventional method.

This study synthesized poly(vinyl alcohol)/carboxymethyl chitosan/cyanidin (PVA/CMCS/CY) hydrogel films. First, PVA and CMCS were used to synthesize hydrogel films by ultraviolet irradiation. Meanwhile, CY was in situ combined into the hydrogel films through the electrostatic attraction between CMCS and CY. Next, the products were analyzed using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, contact angle test, swelling analysis, and mechanical property test. The results revealed that compared with PVA/CMCS hydrogel films, the PVA/CMCS/CY hydrogel films had an interporous structure and good swelling and mechanical properties. Moreover, the drug release experiments demonstrated that the PVA/CMCS/CY hydrogel films had a CY encapsulation efficiency of 33.5% with a sustained CY release of up to 60 h. Furthermore, the examined antibacterial activities against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli showed that the porous PVA/CMCS/CY hydrogel films exhibited a certain inhibition. Cell viability experiments demonstrated that the PVA/CMCS/CY films displayed no obvious cytotoxicity to human umbilical vein endothelial cells.

Transferin manusia (hTf) memainkan peranan yang penting dalam fungsi bakteriostatik dan pengangkutan ferum dari bahagian penyimpanan ke sel–sel yang membiak melalui proses endositosis janaan reseptor. Sistem ekspresi bakulovirus sel serangga telah dipakai secara meluas sebagai sistem alternatif dalam penghasilan Transferin manusia rekombinan (rhTf). Kajian ini ditumpukan ke atas pengoptimuman glutamina, glukosa dan campuran lipid 1000x yang dapat meningkatkan penghasilan rhTf. Reka bentuk eksperimen yang melibatkan 17 eksperimen reka bentuk komposit berpusat (CCD) telah digunakan dan hasil kajian dianalisis oleh Statistika (Statsoft v. 5.0). Metodologi permukaan tindak balas (RSM) telah mengenalpasti nilai optimum parameterparameter yang dikaji iaitu glutamina=2211.20 mg/L, glukosa=1291.95 mg/L, dan campuran lipid 1000x=0.64 %v/v. Hasil optimasi menunjukkan peningkatan hasil rhTf sebanyak tiga kali ganda, iaitu daripada 19.89 μg/ml kepada 65.12 μg/ml. Kata kunci: Transferin manusia; bakulovirus sel serangga; reka bentuk eksperimen; reka bentuk komposit berpusat; metodologi permukaan tindak balas Human Transferrin (hTf) plays a big role in providing bacteriostatic functions as well as to transport iron from the storage part to all proliferating cells by receptor mediated endocytosis. Insect cells baculovirus expression system has been widely used as an alternative expression system for the production of recombinant human Transferrin (rhTf). This work focused mainly on the optimization of glutamine, glucose and lipid mixtures 1000x to increase rhTf yield. An experimental design involving 17 central composite design (CCD) experiments was employed and results were analyzed by Statistica (Statsoft v. 5.0). The response surface methodology (RSM) had identified the optimum values where glutamine=2211.20 mg/L, glucose=1291.95 mg/L, and lipid mixtures 1000x=0.64 %v/v. Using the optimized parameters, the studies demonstrated an increase in the rhTf yield by three–fold from 19.89 μg/ml to 65.12 μg/ml.

In the current work the physicochemical features of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH) biofilms, enriched with eco-friendly polyols and with carotenoid-rich extracts, were investigated. The polyols, such as glycerol (Gly), 1,3-propanediol (PDO), and 2,3-butanediol (BDO) were used as plasticizers and the tomato-based pigments (TP) as coloring agents. The outcomes showed that β-carotene was the major carotenoid in the TP (1.605 mg β-carotene/100 DW), which imprinted the orange color to the biofilms. The flow behavior indicated that with the increase of shear rate the viscosity of biofilm solutions also increased until 50 s−1, reaching values at 37 °C of approximately 9 ± 0.5 mPa·s for PVOH, and for PVOH+TP, 14 ± 0.5 mPa·s in combination with Gly, PDO, and BDO. The weight, thickness, and density of samples increased with the addition of polyols and TP. Biofilms with TP had lower transparency values compared with control biofilms (without vegetal pigments). The presence of BDO, especially, but also of PDO and glycerol in biofilms created strong bonds within the PVOH matrix by increasing their mechanical resistance. The novelty of the present approach relies on the replacement of synthetic colorants with natural pigments derived from agro-industrial by-products, and the use of a combination of biodegradable polymers and polyols, as an integrated solution for packaging application in the bioplastic industry.
