Corn Tortilla

The tortilla is a foodstuff that has a short shelf-life, causing great losses to the industry. The objective of this work was to evaluate, for the first time, the physicochemical properties and resistant starch (RS) content of flours. These were obtained from nixtamalized corn tortillas made with traditional and industrial (commercial) methods, stored at 4 °C for 7, 15, and 30 days. The flours were characterized by measuring particle size distribution, color, water absorption index (WAI), water solubility index (WSI), viscosity, calcium, and RS content. Additionally, chemical proximate analysis, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and thermal analysis were conducted. Storage at 4 °C increased the friability of tortillas and shifted the particle size distribution toward a greater content of coarse particles in corn tortilla flours. The commercial corn tortilla flours showed higher WAI and WSI values than the traditional corn tortilla flours. On the other hand, the traditional corn tortilla flours exhibited higher RS content values than commercial corn tortilla flours as well as peak viscosity. X-ray diffractograms revealed the presence of amylose-lipid complexes (RS5) in experimental samples. The thermograms evidenced three endotherms corresponding to corn starch gelatinization and melting of type I and type II amylose–lipid complexes.

Abstract Purpose Liqui-Tablet is a dosage form derived from Liqui-Mass technology. It has proven to be a promising approach to improve drug dissolution rate of poorly water-soluble drugs. So far, Liqui-Tablet is feasible for low-dose drugs. In this study, an attempt was made to produce high-dose Liqui-Tablet, whilst maintaining ideal physicochemical properties for ease of manufacturing. Methods Liqui-Tablets containing 100 mg of ketoprofen were produced using various liquid vehicles including PEG 200, Span 80, Kolliphor EL, PG, and Tween 85. Investigations that were carried out included saturation solubility test, dissolution test, tomographic study, and typical quality control tests for assessing flowability, particle size distribution, friability, and tablet hardness. Results The weight of these Liqui-Tablets was acceptable for swallowing (483.8 mg), and the saturation solubility test showed PEG 200 to be the most suitable liquid vehicle (493 mg/mL). Tests investigating physicochemical properties such as flowability, particle size distribution, friability, and tablet hardness have shown no issue concerning quality control and manufacturability. The drug release test of the best formulation has shown extremely rapid drug release at pH 7.4 (100% after 5 min). At pH 1.2 the drug release was reasonable considering the formulation was yet to be optimized. Conclusion Despite the high amount of API and liquid vehicle, it is possible to produce a high-dose dosage form with acceptable size and weight for swallowing using the novel Liqui-Mass technology. This has the potential to diversify the technology by removing the restriction of high dose drug that has been seen in liquisolid technology.

Compare investigate physicochemical properties of fine powder and two ultrafine powders of Dragon’s Blood, and then to determinate particle size distribution for ultrafine powders of Dragon’s Blood. Specific surface area and porosity, surface morphology and moisture absorption of Dragon’s Blood powders were investigated. The content and the in vitro dissolution of dracorhodin in Dragon’s Blood powders were determined by HPLC. The results showed that the content of dracorhodin had no significant difference among three Dragon’s Blood powders. With the decreasing of particle size the degree of moisture decreased. The dissolution of dracorhodin in the order of: ultrafine powder I > ultrafine powder II > fine powder. An appropriate degree of superfine grinding can improve moisture absorption of Dragon’s Blood powders and dissolution of dracorhodin. Particle size distribution of Dragon’s Blood ultrafine powder should be controlled about 40 μm.

Four kinds of bentonite samples were studied in this paper. Mainly discussing the particle size distribution, mineral composition and physicochemical properties of bentonite, the aim was to provide a useful reference for the efficient development and utilization of bentonite resources. The results indicated that NM-bent., HB-bent. and EZ-bent. were Ca (Mg)-bentonite while XZJ-bent. was Na-bentonite. The physicochemical properties of bentonite mainly depended on interlayer cations. Many properties indexes of Na-bentonite were better than that of Ca (Mg)-bentonite. Some properties indexes showed a poor reproducibility when tested by standard methods. The natural Na-bentonite has excellent properties and extensive application prospects while Ca (Mg)-bentonite needed for further processing to meet the demand of the application field.
