Spray drying encapsulation has been used in the food industry since the late 1950’s (Gouin, 2004). This is a well-established technology, as the processes are carried out from aqueous feed formulations, the shell material for this technique must be soluble in water at an acceptable level. Modified starch, maltodextrin or gum are hydrated either to be used as the carrier or the wall material. Before the material is fed into the spray dryer and atomised with a spinning wheel or nozzle, the material that is intended for encapsulation is first homogenised with the carrier material. Water is then evaporated by hot air which contacts the atomised material and the capsules are made.
Fluidised bed coating – Solid particles are suspended in a temperature and humidity controlled chamber. The amount of material coating the particles is dependent on the on the length of time that the particles are in the chamber. This is appropriate for hot melt coatings e.g. hydrogenated vegetable oil. Cool air is used to harden the carrier in hot-melts. The release of contents in hot melt ingredients is due to an increase in temperature or physical breakage. The contents of water soluble coatings are released when water is added.
Extrusion coating – this was patented in 1957. Citrus oils were dispersed in corn syrup solids and glycerine (125oC heated by steam), poured into a chamber that is pressurised by nitrogen and extruded into a dehydrating liquid. The hardened material is separated into small pieces and vacuum dried. Dextrose was later proven to replace corn syrup to improve the process.

2.2.3 Protection of ingredients
The core material is protected from moisture, oxygen, light and other external agents by the coating structure. Sun-Waterhouse, et al (2013) states that
“Microencapsulation technologies are very useful for protecting sensitive substances including unsaturated lipids and phenolic compounds against deteriorative environments. Microencapsultation can also be used to ameliorate the bitterness of quercetin by preventing contact with oral taste receptors, thereby preventing undesirable taste sensations”.
This quote demonstrates the importance of the protection of ingredients while also indicating the need to protect other ingredients outside of the capsule from those on the inside.
The analysis is therefore one of the most effective methods of ensuring that each drug being prescribed to patients is safe. It also ensures that all drug components are understood in terms of their structure and chemical behavior. This understanding is very important in the manufacture of drugs and other pharmaceutical products.

Fig. 2(A) shows the phase diagrams of IPM, water, and surfactant mixtures at the ratios of 60:40, 65:35, and 70:30 (v/v), respectively. Fig. 2(B) shows the phase diagrams of ethyl oleate, water, and surfactant mixtures at ratios of 90:10, 95:5 and 100:0, respectively. Filled circles mean self-emulsifying points, and black areas represent the self-emulsifying regions. In other area, the compositions showed inverted emulsion, gel-like form, or phase-separation. In general, when the oil content in the oil and surfactant mixtures is ≤30%, the condition of the mixtures changed from water-in-oil emulsion to a clear gel-like form and then to microemulsion. Otherwise, the dispersions showed phase separation, this result was similar to the results previously studied by Guo et al. [16]. Our finding showed that IPM + surfactant mixture (65:35, v/v) and ethyl oleate + surfactant mixture (90:10, v/v) showed the most self-emulsifying regions (Fig. 2). Overall, in contrast to IPM + surfactant mixture (65:35, v/v), ethyl oleate + surfactant mixture (90:10, v/v) showed finer emulsion in larger self-emulsifying range. These results indicate that ethyl oleate and Tween 80:Carbitol (90:10, v/v) were identified as the optimal oil

Dialysis tubing is made from regenerated cellulose or cellophane, and is used in clinical circumstances to ensure that molecule have a filtered flow, and that larger solute molecules do not enter the dialysis tubing (Alberts, 2002). Like a cell membrane, dialysis tubing has a semi-permeable membrane, which allows small molecule to permeate through the membrane. Thus, the dialysis tubing mimics the diffusion and osmosis processes of the cell membrane (Alberts, 2002). Although the dialysis tubing has a semi-permeable membrane, which mimics a cell, its structure is different. The me...
The law bans microbeads from “rinse-off-cosmetics”, which include toothpaste and health care products. However, there are exemptions for products such as prescription medication, for which synthetic microbeads are essential ingredients. There should be no exemptions and ban complete use of the microbead in products.
About 1 gm. coarse powder was weighted and transferred to a 500 ml conical flask containing 100 ml of water. It was maintained at moderate boiling for 30 minute on water bath. It was cool and filtered in to a 100 ml volumetric flask. Volume was diluted by adding sufficient amount of water. The decoction was poured in test tube, and then shaken in a lengthwise motion for 15 seconds. They were allowed stand for 15 minutes and the height of foam was measured to determine the foaming index.
Lastly, when the gel is viewed with an ultraviolet (UV) transilluminator, the high wavelength of UV light can hurt our body. So before UV light box is set upon, we must put on UV protecting face shield and make sure our body are secure from UV exposure. The exposure of the UV light also must be restricted because exposure over the time limit will cause the DNA to damage.

Emulsions are important in food science. Not only do they provide an important sensory aspect in many foods, but a functional one as well. From hollandaise to ice cream, getting hydrophobic and hydrophilic molecules to play nice with each other can be a difficult task. According to Modern Cuisine, it was previously thought that Hollandaise, a classic French emulsion of egg and butter, could only be made by letting butter drip from natural heat of the hand. Of course, modern science has taught us that, with the use of emulsifiers, these mystic mixtures can be created without the voodoo and magic once thought necessary. This paper will discuss emulsions as applied to hollandaise, chocolate, hot dogs and their characteristic pH, moisture content, shelf stability and quality of viscosity. An explanation of the chemical processes that occur between the raw ingredients of each food and the relationship between the structure and function of their components will be explained, as well as the importance of the chemical changes that take place during production. The characteristics that define these foods as emulsions will be compared and contrasted to further elucidate the mystery of the emulsion. Bon Appetite!
