The formation of oil/water (O/W) nano-emulsions suitable for cosmeceutical application was studied. Nano-emulsions were prepared by using phase inversion composition (PIC) method, one of the low-energy emulsification methods. The process consist of stepwise water addition to oil/surfactant mixture, at T = 25°C. Caprylic/capric triglycerides (GTCC), propylene glycol dicaprylate/dicaprate (PC) and oleic acid (OA) were applied as an oil phase. Polysorbate 80 was used as the surfactant. Kinetic stability of the nano-emulsions was analyzed by measuring droplet size as a function of time for different oil/surfactant ratio. The particles size distribution was analyzed by means DLS measurement technique (Dynamic Light Scattering), using Zetasizer Nano ZS (Malvern Instruments, UK). One of triterpenoic acid, practically non-water soluble substance was selected as an active and incorporated into the stable formulation. The obtained results proved that the nanoemulsion NE-T80-GTCC-20:80 based on caprylic/capric triglycerides with the oil/surfactant ratio O/S = 2 0:80 and the droplet size r = 25 nm was the most stable one and additionally showed the highest solubilisation capacity for the triterpene.

Using petroleum ether to extract the fermentative fluid (bio-slurry), then to get the inhibition mechanism of it, and infer which is the main component in inhibition mechanism of biogas. The conclusion found by the experiment is that fat soluble substance is better than water soluble substance in inhibition mechanism, and fat soluble substance is close to 75% biogas fermentation fluid, while water soluble substance is worst. That is to say, the main subject in inhibition mechanism is hided in the fat soluble substance.

Oil–water dispersed flow occurs commonly in the petroleum industry during the production and transportation of crudes. Phase inversion occurs when the dispersed phase grows into the continuous phase and the continuous phase becomes the dispersed phase caused by changes in the composition, interfacial properties, and other factors. Production equipment, such as pumps and chokes, generates shear in oil–water mixture flow, which has a strong effect on phase inversion phenomena. The objective of this paper is to investigate the effects of shear intensity and water cut (WC) on the phase inversion region and also the droplet size distribution. A state-of-the-art closed-loop two phase (oil–water) flow facility including a multipass gear pump and a differential dielectric sensor (DDS) is used to identify the phase inversion region. Also, the facility utilizes an in-line droplet size analyzer (a high speed camera), to record real-time videos of oil–water emulsion to determine the droplet size distribution. The experimental data for phase inversion confirm that as shear intensity increases, the phase inversion occurs at relatively higher dispersed phase fractions. Also the data show that oil-in-water emulsion requires larger dispersed phase volumetric fraction for phase inversion as compared with that of water-in-oil emulsion under the same shear intensity conditions. Experiments for droplet size distribution confirm that larger droplets are obtained for the water continuous phase, and increasing the dispersed phase volume fraction leads to the creation of larger droplets.

ABSTRACT Studying about the change of physical and chemical properties Gambir paste during 28 days was conducted in order to know the change primarily the chemical content and physical properties as storage consequences. Experimental design was used completely randomized design for 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, and 28 days storage periods. Replication was two and as a control was used paste non treatment. F-test and T-Dunnet test were applicated for statistical analysis. The result indicated that treatment can not change physical properties but change the chemical properties gambir paste. The initial water contents of gambir paste was 72.26% and after 28 days storage 71.68%. Color of gambir paste was still yellow during storage. The initial non water soluble substance was 6.96% and after 28 days storage 4.69%. The initial non alcohol soluble substance was 14.83% and after 28 days storage 13.15%. The initial chatechin contents was 72.22% and after 28 days storage 65.38%. The initial tannin contents 38.68% and after 28 days storage 35.12%. Total ash content of gambir paste was 2.72%.   Keywords : gambir, paste, storage, change, properties

Skazin's observation that maple flavor is not present as such in sugar maple sap but develops at boiling temperatures (100–104 °C.) has been confirmed. Levorotatory glucosides cannot be detected in sap concentrated to 1/150 its volume, and are therefore probably not present in amounts exceeding 1 gm. (calculated as coniferin) per 50 litres. In maple wood, pyrocatechol tannins were detected but no alcohol-soluble glucosides. The sap contains succinic acid, a glucosidase, an unsaponifiable oil, a water-soluble substance melting at 191.5 °C. and having the composition C11H21O9, and an acetone-soluble substance giving lignin-like color tests. Maple flavor could not be developed in any individual constituent of the sap.

Naphthoquinones all with carbonyl groups may react with the Girard reagent to form a water-soluble substance called hydrazone. These denatured naphthoquinones can recover lipid solubility transferred to the organic liquid layer.

Yellow birch seeds were found to vary in size directly as the strobilus on which they are borne and to increase in size within the strobilus directly as their point of origin is removed from either end. Viability was found to vary from 0% to 34% of the seeds on an individual tree. The best method of determining viability is examination of the embryo following dissection of the seed. A valid test of viability is given by 2,3,5-triphenyltetrazolium chloride, but this is not recommended because of the small size of the embryos. It is shown that the seed coats contain a water soluble substance that inhibits growth of the embryos. This substance loses its inhibiting properties when exposed to extended periods of light, but the injury to the embryo is permanent. It is suggested that trees producing few viable seeds in a seed crop may do so because this species is not functionally monoecious and that pollination difficulties would account for a small number of viable seeds on partly isolated trees.

✓ Meglumine iothalamate 60% (Conray) is a water-soluble substance being developed for the roentgenographic visualization of the cerebral ventricular system. Although it offer definite advantages compared to other contrast media, a recognized disadvantage is the possible development of seizures. This complication seems to be relatively rare and largely preventable, but once present may seriously endanger the patient's life. It appears to be a neurotoxic phenomenon, resistant to the usual anticonvulsant medications, and requires the availability of sophisticated personnel and emergency procedures to prevent death.
