Two experiments were carried out to compare the feeding values of oilmeals derived from Argentine and Polish types of rape. In the first, four rapeseed oilmeal samples were used: (1) new oilmeal representing a commercial mixture of approximately equal parts of both types; (2) old oilmeal, predominantly of Argentine type and which had been stored five years at room temperature in a porous container; (3) Argentine type, and (4) Polish type. According to a factorial design, each oilmeal was tested as either the entire protein supplement, in a 25 per cent protein ration, or as half the supplement along with either linseed oilmeal or skimmilk powder. As cross treatments with each of these 12 rations the following were tested: (1) nil; (2) 0.01 per cent iodinated casein; (3) 20 p.p.m. aureomycin, and (4) iodinated casein plus aureomycin.In the second experiment, three ’goitrogenic’ basal diets were used: (1) soybean oilmeal and linseed oilmeal with 0.15 per cent dl-5-vinyl-2-thiooxazolidone; (2) Argentine rapeseed oilmeal, and (3) Polish rapeseed oilmeal. Three subtreatments were superimposed on each of these: (1) nil; (2) 5 per cent fishmeal, and (3) 0.5 per cent dl-lysine. Cross-treatments of (1) nil, (2)0.02 per cent iodinated casein, (3) 0.0002 percent sodium 1-thyroxine, and (4) 0.014 per cent iodine as KI-calcium stearate were also investigated.The tests involved 252 male mice with records on their gains and individual feed intakes.No marked differences were found between kinds of rapeseed oilmeal. The Argentine and Polish types had 0.4 and 0.3 per cent allyl isothiocyanate equivalent, respectively. Neither linseed oilmeal, skimmilk powder, fishmeal nor lysine proved beneficial at the levels of rapeseed oilmeal tested, but the latter two modified the response to thyroid supplements.Iodinated casein, thyroxine and iodide were likewise ineffective against the growth-depressing factor in rapeseed oilmeal. These findings are discussed in relation to apparently opposing results from other investigators.

As a type of cosmetic preparation products, cream dosage form is widely used with the addition of active substances having antioxidant activities, such as vitamin C and its derivatives. Sodium ascorbyl phosphate (SAP) can be used in topical formulation due to its more stable properties than ascorbic acid. However, it is difficult to deliver SAP into the dermis in a suficient dose. To overcome the problem, occasionally we can add a penetration enhancer. In some literature, emollients that often added in cosmetic preparations also have another effect as a penetration enhancer. The purpose of this research was to observe wether emollient addition could influence the penetration of SAP in the cream formulation or not. SAP was formulated into four formulations with three different emollients: dimethicone (F1), capric triglyceride (F2), and isopropyl myristate (F3) and a formulation without the addition of emollients (F4). The diffusion test was performed by Franz's diffusion cell method using male wistar rat’s abdominal membrane as a standard model of the skin barrier. The result of stability test showed that SAP cream was stable at room temperature but unstable on freeze thaw condition described by significant different values for all formulas. Nonetheless, the diffusion test showed that F2 with the capric triglyceride as emollient had the highest ability to pass SAP through the membrane, followed by isopropyl miristate. We concluded that emollient addition could influence the penetration of the cream of SAP.Keywords: vitamin c, ascorbic acid, sodium ascorbyl phospate, emollient, penetration enhancer

Honey is a human food ingredient produced by bees. Honey is a special food ingredient and has high nutritional value, honey has been proven to be used as a burn medicine and as an antioxidant. More specifically and honey can be used to prevent liver damage due to obstruction of the common bile duct and due to cysticercus cysts in the liver. Honey is known to contain organic acids, minerals, vitamins, and is rich in active substances that act as antioxidants that can protect the liver from damage. Research also confirms that the phenolic antioxidants present in honey are very effective, thus increasing the body's resistance to fighting oxidative stress. Cigarette smoke contains 4000 types of organic substances and cigarette smoke can become free radicals that can cause oxidative stress and damage normal tissue. The method used in this study was true experimental with a post-test only controlled group design. Using  30 male mice, the results obtained were that the provision of honey had an effect on the microscopic image of the liver of male mice exposed to cigarette smoke, but the statistical test results did not show any significant differences between the control group and the treatment group. Further research is needed with different dose variations.

Abstract Bigels with antifungal substances, ciclopirox olamine and terbinafine hydrochloride, were made of hydrogel (poloxamer 407 gel) and oleogel (polyethylene and liquid paraffin mixture). Prepared bigels were found physically stable at room temperature for six months and at least four months at 40 °C. Released amount of drug decreased when oleogel concentration in the formulation increased. Release test results depended on the insertion place of active substances. The amount of released substance was highest when ciclopirox olamine was incorporated in both phases in an equal quantity, and terbinafine hydrochloride in oleogel or in hydrogel. All formulations showed great inhibition of Microsporum canis. Thus, bigels with ciclopirox olamine and terbinafine hydrochloride are a promising dosage form for topical use.

Lipid nanoparticles based on multiple emulsion (W/O/W) systems are suitable for incorporating hydrophilic active substances, including iridoid glycosides. This study involved optimization of composition of lipid nanoparticles, incorporation of active compounds (aucubin and catalpol), evaluation of stability of the resulting nanocarriers, and characterization of their lipid matrix. Based on 32 factorial design, an optimized dispersion of lipid nanoparticles (solid lipid:surfactant—4.5:1.0 wt.%) was developed, predisposed for the incorporation of iridoid glycosides by emulsification-sonication method. The encapsulation efficiency of the active substances was determined at nearly 90% (aucubin) and 77% (catalpol). Regarding the stability study, room temperature was found to be the most suitable for maintaining the expected physicochemical parameter values (particle size < 100 nm; polydispersity index < 0.3; zeta potential > |± 30 mV|). Characterization of the lipid matrix confirmed the nanometer size range of the resulting carriers (below 100 nm), as well as the presence of the lipid in the stable β’ form.

The aim of the study was to assess the antioxidant effect of concentrated oil macerate of sage (M) as a “green extract” in inhibiting the oxidation of Fish Oil (FO). In the homogenization-assisted maceration process, FO was used as a solvent for the sage active substances to produce M, which was then added to FO (25% w/w) and evaluated for its effect by monitoring the level of oxidation during refrigerated and room temperature storage. The macerate also examined polyphenols, plant pigments, DPPH antioxidant potential, oxidation level and sensory quality. It was shown that the maceration process made it possible to obtain aromatized M, containing polyphenols (carnosic acid, carnosol) and pigments, but with an increased level of peroxides, free fatty acids, compared to the control oil. M showed antioxidant properties and inhibited FO oxidation. It showed the best efficiency in FO during refrigerated storage, in the third month it reduced the level of peroxides by about 9 times, compared to the control. M retains unchanged quality at refrigerated temperature for up to 3 months. Sage macerates are „green extracts” that can be used as effective natural antioxidant additives, following preparation improvements to reduce the amount of peroxide formed.

Contact angles of various mineral oils and water on relatively polar and non-polar calcium stearate surfaces prepared by special means were measured. Pre-moistening of the soap surface with small quantities of water decreased the subsequent contact angle against oil. The effect of the polarity of the oil was determined, and the action of water in the system is discussed.The sedimentation volume of calcium stearate in mineral oil, with and without various added materials, was measured. Water, glycerol, and alcohol effected an agglomeration of the suspended soap, and less polar liquids had no effect. Fatty acid in small quantities brought about a swelling of the soap at room temperature. The relation between wetting power and sedimentation volume is discussed.

The objective of this study is to determine the quality of quail eggs stored at room temperature and refrigerated. The variables evaluated are weight loss, shape index, air cell size, and the height of both the albumen and the yolk. Several factors, such as storage time and temperature could affect the quality of quail eggs. Therefore, we investigated the impact of both factors. The samples used for this experiment include 360 quail eggs. This research uses a completely randomized factorial design with two treatments. The treatments consisted of storage time (0, 7, 14, and 21 days) and temperature (room temperature and refrigerator). Each treatment was replicated 9 times. Analyses of variance had been applied to analyze the data and followed with Duncan’s test to see whether there was a significant difference between treatments. The result showed that storage time and temperature have significant effects on weight loss of the eggs, air cell size, and albumen and yolk height. The interaction between treatments had a significant impact on air cell size and yolk height. Refrigerated storage for 21 days showed the best result.

Recently we have been investigating a class of nickel-base superalloys which possess substantial room temperature ductility. This improvement in ductility is directly related to improvements in grain boundary strength due to increased boundary cohesion through control of detrimental impurities and improved boundary shear strength by controlled grain boundary micros true tures.For these investigations an experimental nickel-base superalloy was doped with different levels of sulphur impurity. The micros tructure after a heat treatment of 1360°C for 2 hr, 1200°C for 16 hr consists of coherent precipitates of γ’ Ni3(Al,X) in a nickel solid solution matrix.
