The Impact

The present study brings to attention a method to develop salicylic acid-based oil in water (O/W) microemulsions using a tensioactive system based on Tween 80, lecithin, and propylene glycol (PG), enriched with a vegetable oat oil phase and hyaluronic acid. The systems were physically characterized and the Quality by design approach was applied to optimize the attributes of microemulsions using Box–Behnken modeling, combined with response surface methodology. For this purpose, a 33 fractional factorial design was selected. The effect of independent variables namely X1: Tween 80/PG (%), X2: Lecithin (%), X3: Oil phase (%) was analyzed considering their impact upon the internal structure and evaluated parameters chosen as dependent factors: viscosity, mean droplet size, and work of adhesion. A high viscosity, a low droplet size, an adequate wettability—with a reduced mechanical work—and clarity were considered as desirable for the optimal systems. It was found that the optimal microemulsion which complied with the established conditions was based on: Tween 80/PG 40%, lecithin 0.3%, oat oil 2%, salicylic acid 0.5%, hyaluronic acid 1%, and water 56.2%. The response surface methodology was considered an appropriate tool to explain the impact of formulation factors on the physical properties of microemulsions, offering a complex pattern in the assessment of stability and quality attributes for the optimized formulation.

The Impact

AbstractThis study elucidates the performance of cold-sprayed tungsten carbide-nickel coating against solid particle impingement erosion using alumina (corundum) particles. After the coating fabrication, part of the specimens followed two different annealing heat treatment cycles with peak temperatures of 600 °C and 800 °C. The coatings were examined in terms of microstructure in the as-sprayed (AS) and the two heat-treated conditions (HT1, HT2). Subsequently, the erosion tests were carried out using design of experiments with two control factors and two replicate measurements in each case. The effect of the heat treatment on the mass loss of the coatings was investigated at the three levels (AS, HT1, HT2), as well as the impact angle of the erodents (30°, 60°, 90°). Finally, the response surface methodology (RSM) was applied to analyze and optimize the results, building the mathematical models that relate the significant variables and their interactions to the output response (mass loss) for each coating condition. The obtained results demonstrated that erosion minimization was achieved when the coating was heat treated at 600 °C and the angle was 90°.

Adsorbent Dose

Magnetic MXene composite Fe3O4@Ti3C2 was successfully prepared and employed as 17α-ethinylestradiol (EE2) adsorbent from water solution. The response surface methodology was employed to investigate the interactive effects of adsorption parameters (adsorption time, pH of the solution, initial concentration, and the adsorbent dose) and optimize these parameters for obtaining maximum adsorption efficiency of EE2. The significance of independent variables and their interactions were tested by the analysis of variance (ANOVA) and t-test statistics. Optimization of the process variables for maximum adsorption of EE2 by Fe3O4@Ti3C2 was performed using the quadratic model. The model predicted maximum adsorption of 97.08% under the optimum conditions of the independent variables (adsorption time 6.7 h, pH of the solution 6.4, initial EE2 concentration 0.98 mg L−1, and the adsorbent dose 88.9 mg L−1) was very close to the experimental value (95.34%). pH showed the highest level of significance with the percent contribution (63.86%) as compared to other factors. The interactive influences of pH and initial concentration on EE2 adsorption efficiency were significant (p < 0.05). The goodness of fit of the model was checked by the coefficient of determination (R2) between the experimental and predicted values of the response variable. The response surface methodology successfully reflects the impact of various factors and optimized the process variables for EE2 adsorption. The kinetic adsorption data for EE2 fitted well with a pseudo-second-order model, while the equilibrium data followed Langmuir isotherms. Thermodynamic analysis indicated that the adsorption was a spontaneous and endothermic process. Therefore, Fe3O4@Ti3C2 composite present the outstanding capacity to be employed in the remediation of EE2 contaminated wastewaters.

Chili Peppers

Capsaicin (CAP) is a pungent alkaloid of chili peppers that is obtained from chili peppers that has a variety of pharmacological activities and can be used in various areas, such as functional foods, nutritional supplements and medical nutrition. Capsaicin has important anticancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that allow to be applied as treatment for several diseases. However, its lack of water solubility, as well as its poor oral bioavailability in biological systems, show limiting factors for its successful application. Recently, the formulation of capsaicin for food and pharmaceutical use is limited. Therefore, the present study emphasized on preparation of capsaicin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles (CAP-CSNPs) and design and optimization of the formulation using Box-Behnken experimental design (BBD) and response surface methodology (RSM). The capsaicin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles were prepared by o/w emulsification and ionotropic gelification. The optimized formulation of capsaicin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles had a chitosan concentration of 0.11 (%w/v), a Tween 80® concentration of 1.55 (%w/v) and a CAP concentration of 1 mg/mL and that it should be stored at 4°C. Box-Behnken experimental design and response surface methodology was found to be a powerful technique for design and optimization of the preparation of capsaicin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles using limited number of experimental runs. Our study demonstrated that capsaicin-loaded chitosan nanoparticles can be potentially utilized as dietary supplements, nutraceuticals and functional foods.

β-Glucosidase is the key enzyme for the utilization of lignocellulose.But the commercial β-glucosidase can’t be produced. This paper focuses on the study of the β-glucosidase fermentation process.The fermentation medium components for β-glucosidase production from Aspergil lusniger was optimized by response surface methodology (RSM). Firstly, the three of the most important influence factors yeast extract, MnSO4•H2O and MgSO4•7H2O was obtained from Plackett-Burman design screening. Then the path of steepest ascent experiment was adopted to approach the optimal region of the medium composition. Lastly, the optimal concentration and mutual effect of three factors were predicted by RSM. The results showed that the best medium composition was Malt extract 18g/L, Yeast extract 3.22g/L, KH2PO4 3g/L, MnSO4•H2O 0.58mM, Tween-80 0.5mL/L and MgSO4•7H2O 0.23g/L. Under these fermentation conditions, the activity of β-glucosidase was up to 7.33IU/mL with increasing 23.2% than before.
