The D-alpha-tocopheryl polyethylene glycol 1000 succinate (TPGS) was used to increase the aqueous solubility and dissolution rate of furosemide. The solid dispersion of furosemide with TPGS was prepared by solvent method using methanol. The aqueous solubility and the dissolution rate of furosemide were rapid and markedly enhanced from the 1:2 furosemide-TPGS solid dispersion. The X-ray diffractometry showed that pure furosemide and furosemide contained within the physical mixture were crystalline in nature, whereas furosemide in the solid dispersion was not in crystalline form. The infrared spectroscopic analysis showed that an interaction, in the solid dispersion, such as an association between the functional groups of furosemide and TPGS might occur in the molecular level. The infrared spectroscopy and differential thermal analysis showed the physicochemical modifications of the furosemide from the solid dispersion. The solid dispersion technique with TPGS provides a promising way to increase the solubility and dissolution rate of poorly soluble drugs.
Fumonisin B(1) (FB(1)) is a water-soluble mycotoxin produced by Fusarium verticillioides. Our research objectives were to determine the leaching of FB(1) through soils and FB(1) binding in soil. Leachate columns were used to determine the movement of FB(1) through soil. FB(1)-contaminated corn screenings or water extracts containing FB(1) were placed on the surface of soil columns. In 100% sand columns, FB(1) leaching was only slightly retarded, whereas at 50%, 75%, and 100% Cecil sandy loam, approximately 60%, 50%, and 20% of the FB(1) was recovered in the column leachate, respectively. The FB(1) retained on the 100% Cecil sandy loam column was tightly bound. However, approximately 75% of the bound FB(1) was released with 5% formic acid and 5% formic acid/acetonitrile (1:1), indicating that the nature of the interaction was probably ionic. The results suggest that FB(1) is quite stable in soils and, while tightly bound, under certain environmental conditions could be released.
Buckwheat grit cakes were prepared with a rice cake machine using the following independent variables: tempering moisture contents (15, 17, and 19%, wb), heating temperatures (240, 246, 252, and 258 degrees C), and heating times (5, 6, 7, and 8 s). Higher moisture, higher heating temperature, or longer heating time produced cakes with a higher cake specific volume. Cakes became lighter in color at a lower heating temperature or a shorter heating time. The hardest cake was produced at 252 degrees C for 5 s at 19% moisture content. The percent weight loss after tumbling decreased with increasing heating times and heating temperatures. Increased heating time resulted in more expanded products. The average rutin content decreased as the heating temperature or heating time increased. These results suggest that processing conditions, including tempering moisture, heating temperature, and heating time, significantly influenced physical and chemical qualities of buckwheat grit cakes such as specific volume, hardness, integrity, color, internal structure, and rutin content.
