Importance of antimicrobial emulsion​

Biology
1 answer:
dimaraw [331]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Citral is a typical essential oil used in the food, cosmetic, and drug industries and has shown antimicrobial activity against microorganisms. Citral is unstable and hydrophobic under normal storage conditions, so it can easily lose its bactericide activity. Nanoemulsion technology is an excellent way to hydrophilize, microencapsulate, and protect this compound. In our studies, we used a mixed surfactant to form citral-in-water nanoemulsions, and attempted to optimize the formula for preparing nanoemulsions. Citral-in-water nanoemulsions formed at So 0.4 to 0.6 and ultrasonic power of 18 W for 120 seconds resulted in a droplet size of < 100 nm for nanoemulsions. The observed antimicrobial activities were significantly affected by the formulation of the nanoemulsions. The observed relationship between the formulation and activity can lead to the rational design of nanoemulsion-based delivery systems for essential oils, based on the desired function of antimicrobials in the food, cosmetics, and agrochemical industries.

Which is colder the east or west coast of southern Africa.why<br><br>​
Aneli [31]

West Coast water temperatures are much lower than those along the East Coast. ... This means Atlantic waters travel to the U.S. East Coast from the south and are relatively warm compared with West Coast Pacific waters that arrive from the north out of the chilly Gulf of Alaska.

The air above the cold Benguela current and upwelling region along the west coast is relatively dry and cold, contributing to the dry climate of the west coast. Moist air from the warm Indian Ocean and Agulhas Current is frequently transported into eastern South Africa by easterly winds.

(b) Describe the characteristics of the interior of the aquaporin channel protein that allow water to flow through AND exclude g
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Aquaporin protein is a type of protein composed of a bundle of six transmembrane α-helices.

Explanation:

Aquaporin protein is a type of protein composed of a bundle of six transmembrane α-helices. These aquaporin protein have different size of water channels that allow water through to pass through it but it does not allow glucose to move through it due to its large size. The direction of water movement is toward the cell because there is low water inside the cell as compared to outside environment so the water moves inside the cell and  rate of water movement slows down over time due to filling of empty spaces with water.
