Butterfat has been shown to contain the normal odd-numbered saturated acids n-nonadecanoic acid (C19), n-heneicosanoic acid (C21), and n-tricosanoic acids (C23).The presence of the normal even-numbered acids n-octadecanoic acid (C18), n-docosanoic acid (C22), n-tetracosanoic acid (C24) and n-hexacosanoic acid (C26) is conclusively established.n-Eicosanoic acid (C20) formerly assumed to be present in butterfat has been isolated and identified by its physical and chemical properties.

The present work is focus on physical and chemical properties of purified Carboxylesterase using the Seeds of Tamarindus Indica.The esterases are extracted from the germinating tamarind seeds using 50 mM phosphate buffer, pH 7 and purified. The Km with α-naphthyl acetate, β-naphthyl acetate and α-naphthyl butyrate as the substrates is 28.6 μM, 22.2 μM and 26.7 μM respectively. The Vmax for the same substrates is 7.1 x 10-3 µmole/min, 7.41 x 10-3 µmole/min and 8.00 x 10-3 µmole/min respectively. The enzymes optimally active at pH 7.0 and are stable between pH 5.0 to 8.0. The optimum temperature of esterase activity is 40˚C. The molecular weight of 27.5 kD as determined by SDS-PAGE, both in the presence and absence of β-mercaptothanol and is in close agreement with the molecular weight determined by gel-filtration on Sephadex G-100 (26.9 kD).

Abstract The fundamental reaction of vulcanization is the combination of a vulcanizing agent with rubber. The kinetics of this reaction is expressed by smooth curves. Simultaneously with the combining of the vulcanizing agent, in fact as a result of it, changes take place in a number of physical and chemical properties of rubber—solubility, modulus, tensile strength, and other indexes. Unlike the kinetics of combination of the vulcanizing agent, the changes in these properties are most often represented by curves having a maximum or minimum which characterizes the phenomenon of optimum vulcanization. The extreme form which curves of changes of physical and chemical properties of rubber assume during vulcanization can be explained, in our opinion, by the fact that, during vulcanization, there is a competition between opposing reactions, of which one set are reactions of structure formation (i.e., increase of the molecular weight and the intensity of intermolecular reaction), and the others are destruction reactions. Thus, during vulcanization under factory conditions, at least two reactions take place: (1) the reaction between rubber and sulfur, and (2) the reaction between rubber and molecular oxygen introduced into the vulcanization mix by milling with the ingredients. The amount of oxvgen present here in moles approaches the molar concentration of sulfur.

BACKGROUND: In recent years, mucoadhesive dosage forms due to their advantages have attracted the interest of researchers and developers. Polymeric excipients are included into the drug composition to give adhesion to the mucous membrane. AIM: The aim of this research was to select a specific brand of pharmaceutical quality polymer that is promising for inclusion in the drug formulation. METHODS: The article presents the results of studying the mucoadhesive properties of polymers on two models using mucin: By measuring the amount of adhesion and by the evaluation the sample movement speed. RESULTS: According to the combination of two indicators, the highest mucoadhesive properties were shown by the brands of hydroxypropylmethylcellulose and xanthan gum. In addition, it was noted that hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), sodium alginate, and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose (HPMC) also have good mucoadhesive properties. Polyethylene glycols proved to have the weakest mucoadhesive properties. The negative relationship between the average molecular weight and the sample movement speed of the HEC and HPMC was established. Obtained data showed no direct influence of the polymer average molecular weight on the amount of adhesion. It was also noted that there is no strong correlation between the amount of adhesion and the sample movement speed of the experimental samples. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the study, it was suggested that the complex influences of the physical and chemical properties of the polymer on its mucoadhesive properties.

It is increasingly clear that poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is not just an inert storage polymer, confined to certain bacteria, but a ubiquitous, interactive, solvating biopolymer involved in important physiological functions. Low molecular weight PHB, complexed to other macromolecules (c-PHB), is widely distributed in biological cells, being found in representative organisms of nearly all phyla. Complexation modifies the physical and chemical properties of c-PHB, allowing it to pervade aqueous as well as hydrophobic regions of the cell, and as a result c-PHB can be found in cytoplasm and intracellular fluids as well as in membranes and lipoproteins. The lipidic homopolymer associates with other macromolecules primarily via its ester carbonyl oxygens, which can act as hydrogen-bond acceptors or as ligands for coordinate bonds to cations. The spacing of the electron-donating groups along the flexible backbone allows for multiple bonding interactions, and forms the basis for the ability of c-PHB to bind to proteins, or to form ion-conducting complexes with salts. The singular ability of c-PHB to dissolve salts and facilitate their transfer across hydrophobic barriers defines a potential physiological niche for c-PHB in cell metabolism.Key words: polyhydroxybutyrate, polyphosphate, polymer electrolyte, ion transport.
