Consumer demand for ‘natural’ products has led the food industry to substitute synthetic ingredients with others of natural origin. Nanoemulsions are thermodynamically unstable systems, so an emulsifier is necessary to ...

The effect of NaCl and HCl on two non-ionic surfactant micelles was studied using several techniques, including conductivity and ion-selective electrodes. Both surfactants exhibit opposite behaviour. When Tween 20 is ...

Gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) can provide a simple, easy-to-use, inexpensive, at hand point-of-care (POC) fast to diagnose; however, AuNPs have the predisposition to form aggregations. Since the nanoparticles stability is an ...

Nowadays, the use of chemicals that satisfactorily meet the needs of different sectors of the chemical industry is linked to the consumption of biodegradable materials. In this context, this work contemplated biotechnological ...

The effect of potassium sorbate (PS), nisin, Tween® 20 and oil level on the survival of Lactobacillus fructivorans in model salad dressings was studied. In general, L. fructivorans growth was prevented in formulated ...

“Tweens” are children, especially girls, included in an age group that can vary, depending on the author of the study, from seven to fourteen years of age. They are, thus, in a stage between childhood and adolescence. More ...
