Investigation of the in vitro bioavailability of luteolin from modified preparations of Artemisia afraNkengla, Anjong January 2014 (has links)
Magister Pharmaceuticae - MPharm / Artemisia afra (A. afra) is traditionally used for a variety of ailments and contain flavonoids e.g. luteolin which may contribute to some of its activity. It is generally administered as a tea or decoction, and such liquid dosage forms present challenges as far as long term storage and stability are concerned, as well as sub-optimal oral bioavailability of actives they contain. Freeze dried aqueous extracts (FDAE) can alleviate such problems but may be hygroscopic and unstable. The use of modified forms of FDAE can counter the problem of hygroscopicity (e.g. use of alginate) and alleviate the issue of sub-optimal bioavailability of plant actives (e.g. polymethylmethacrylate). The objectives of this study, were to: (1) prepare the freeze dried aqueous extract (FDAE) and modified forms, which include alginate-extract beads (alginate-FDAE) and polymethylmethacrylate coated alginate matrix beads of herbal extract (PMMA-alginate-FDAE) of the FDAE of A. afra, (2) determine and compare the pharmaceutical characteristics of the above mentioned preparations of A. afra,(3) quantify and compare the total flavonoid and specifically luteolin levels of the different forms of A. afra,(4) evaluate and compare the release characteristics of FDAE of A. afra from the alginate-FDAE and PMMA-alginate-FDAE beads in gastrointestinal fluids and (5) determine the intestinal permeability of luteolin contained in selected modified Artemisia afra extract preparations. It was hypothesized that making the alginate beads and the polymethylmethacrylate coated alginate beads would make the FDAE less hygroscopic with a lower moisture content, that the rate of release of luteolin from A. afra FDAE into gastrointestinal fluids would be faster than from the modified forms, and that the effective gastrointestinal permeability of luteolin in the alginate-FDAE and PMMA-alginate-FDAE beads of A. afra is equal to that in FDAE. To realize these objectives, the FDAE was prepared by freeze drying the aqueous extract of the A. afra dried leaves, alginate-FDAE prepared by dispersing FDAE into 4% sodium alginate solution, then adding the resulting stock solution into a 2% calcium chloride solution and drying resulting beads and PMMA-alginate-FDAE prepared by a modified water-in-oil-in-water emulsion solvent evaporation method using water as an internal aqueous phase. Using pharmacopoeial methods and methods adapted from other workers the organoleptic and pharmaceutical characteristics were determined to compare the pharmaceutical quality of these preparations of A. afra. To identify and determine the levels of luteolin in the plant preparations, a validated HPLC assay was developed. Finally, the in situ perfused rat intestine model was used to determine the in vitro bioavailability, i.e. gastrointestinal permeability, of luteolin from solutions containing luteolin in pure form, FDAE, alginate-FDAE and PMMA-alginate-FDAE. The A. afra forms were obtained in moderate to good yields and FDAE was brown and hygroscopic in nature, the alginate beads dark brown free flowing and spherical in shape and the PMMA-alginate beads light brown in colour with rough edges. The A. afra plant forms on average contained 0.185 ± 0.24, 0.067 ± 0.014, 0.012 ± 0.071 μg/mg of free luteolin (n=3) in FDAE, alginate-FDAE and PMMA-alginate-FDAE respectively and 0.235 ± 0.026, 0.079 ± 0.093, 0.058 ± 0.082 μg/mg of total luteolin (n=3) in FDAE, alginate-FDAE and PMMAalginate- FDAE respectively. The Plumen values for intestinal uptake of luteolin were significantly higher from solutions of A. afra forms than the pure luteolin solution (i.e. Plumen values in the range of 0.02 - 0.035 cm/s for all plant forms vs Plumen values in the range of 0.010 - 0.014 cm/s for pure luteolin, t-test p = 0.0252). The permeability of luteolin in FDAE appeared to be slighter greater than that of the modified forms (Plumen values >0.03 cm/s for FDAE and Plumen values <0.03 cm/s for both modified forms). In summary, the results showed that, the modified A. afra forms; alginate-FDAE and PMMAalginate- FDAE were of acceptable pharmaceutical quality with luteolin better taken up in the plant forms than in its pure form. The A. afra forms prepared had similar rates of uptake (permeability) of free and total luteolin with the rates being highest for the FDAE. Collectively, these results indicate that alginate-FDAE and PMMA-alginate-FDAE bead forms should be suitable for use in a solid dosage form (e.g. tablet or capsule) of A. afra.

Impacts of Water, Extraction Procedure and Origin on Anthocyanins and Volatile Compositions of Hibiscus Extracts and Freeze-Dried HibiscusNdiaye, Oumoule 05 October 2016 (has links)
There has been a lot of interest in Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.), called Bissap in Senegal, hibiscus recently because of consumer interest in nutraceutical products. However, beverages made from hibiscus have a short self-life due to anthocyanin and flavor degradation. The purpose of our study was first to assess the impacts of water, extraction procedure and origin on the anthocyanins of hibiscus extracts and secondly, to examine the impacts of freeze-drying on the anthocyanins and the volatiles compositions of hibiscus extracts. For the first experiment, a 2x3 factorial design was used with hibiscus calyces from Senegal and Egypt for the factor origin, distilled water and reformulated Dakar (Senegal) water for the second factor water, and then cold and hot extraction procedures were applied. For the second experiment, Senegalese hibiscus was extracted with hot and cold water and one part of each extract was freeze-dried. For both objectives, a ratio of 1:15 w/v (1 kilogram of calyces for 15 liters of water) were used. The time-temperature was 98°C / 30 min for hot and 22°C / 4 hours for cold extractions. The anthocyanins were determined using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). And the volatiles were measured using headspace-solid phase microextraction and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GCMS). Origin and temperature as well as their interaction had significant effects on the anthocyanin contents, with respective p-values of 0.0036 and 0.0025 and 0.0002. Freeze-drying showed no effect on the anthocyanins in cold extracts. In contrast, a significant difference between the hot extract and its freeze-dried product was observed with a p-value of 0.0013. For the flavor compounds, the aroma profiles were different between cold and hot extracts and their instant powders. Globally the results of this study can help in the optimization when processing hibiscus derivatives. / MSLFS

Concentration of sulfamethazine in spray dried milkMalik, Shahana 22 October 2009 (has links)
A study was conducted to investigate the effect ofspray drying on concentration of sulfamethazine (SMZ) in fluid milk dried to powder «10% moisture). Antibiotic-free skim and whole (homogenized) milk were spiked at 5, 10, 50 and 100 ppb sulfamethazine levels, pasteurized and stored at 4°C till further processed. All samples were spray dried at an inlet temperature of 180 ± 2°C and outlet temperature of 100 ± 2°C and stored at -20°C until analyzed.
Sulfamethazine concentration was determined quantitatively by HPLC, a microbial receptor assay (Charm-II®) and an ELISA assay (LacTek®) and qualitatively by an ELISA method (Cite®) in milk samples before and after spray drying. Dry milk samples were reconstituted (10% w/w) for all analyses. statistical determination of significant differences (p = 0.05) between fluid and dry milk samples and whole and skim milk sample~was completed by paired t-tests. Sulfamethazine concentrations increased 81.4% and 84.1% in skim and whole milk respectively at 100 ppb spiked level but were lower than expected increase of 88-91% based on their total solids for whole and skim milk as obtained by modified FDA HPLC method. At lower levels of 5 and 10 ppb, the HPLC method was not sensitive enough to provide usable data. Increase in sulfamethazine concentration from fluid to dry milk was also determined by· Charm-II® and LacTek® techniques. Poor recoveries and variability in data were evident due to binding of sulfamethazine to undetermined milk components as a result of processing and storage also due to break-down of sulfamethazine (mp = 176°C) at 1S00C during spray drying. Sulfamethazine 163 ppb by LacTek® and 94.6 ppb by Charm-II® (at a spiked level of 10 ppb fluid milk) was successfully removed from dried milk after 120 min using supercritical CO₂ (pressure = 5500 psi, 50 0 C / Master of Science

A Comparison of Sweet Cream Buttermilk Powder with Nonfat Dried Milk Solids in the Manufacture of Ice CreamYanasugondha, Davi 01 May 1951 (has links)
Properly dried sweet cream buttermilk, because of its high fat and lecithin contents, should make superior ice cream. Its use as a source of serum solids in ice cream. Its use as a source of serum solids in ice cream mix would open an outlet for this butter by-product and would serve the needs of ice cream manufacturers during nonfat dry milk solids shortage and it may make a higher score ice cream. The demand for milk solids shortage and it may make a higher score ice cream.
The demand for milk solids has been increasing so rapidly that today the by-products of the dairy industry are being utilized as sources of human food to a much greater extent than before. In past years the greater bulk of creamery buttermilk has been utilized as animal feeds. Attempts are being made to convert more of this by-product into channels of human consumption. As the manufacture of sweet cream butter is increasing at a rapid pace, a larger supply of buttermilk product of high quality which is fit for human consumption is available in the market.
Many previous investigators have used buttermilk products as a source of serum solids in ice cream mix with favorable results. The advantage claimed has been that it tends to improve the whipping ability of ice cream mixes and to impart richer flavor to the product. These beneficial qualities have been attributed to the butterfat and the phospholipids, of which lecithin is predominant. The work of Chapman and Supplee shows that buttermilk and cream contins several times as much licithin as skimmilk. The amounts of total phospholipids reported by Holm et al and Wright et al are approximately 1.77 per cent in dry buttermilk and 1.06 per cent in dry skim milk.
