Sun protection enhancement of titanium dioxide crystals by the use of carnauba wax nanoparticles: the synergistic interaction between organic and inorganic sunscreens at nanoscale.
Int. J. Pharm. 322(1-2) , 161-70, (2006) Carnauba wax is partially composed of cinnamates. The rational combination of cinnamates and titanium dioxide has shown a synergistic effect to improve the sun protection factor (SPF) of cosmetic preparations. However, the mechanism of this interaction has no... |

Characterization of critical physical and mechanical properties of freeze-dried grape powder for development of a clinical patient delivery system.
Pharm. Dev. Technol. 18(1) , 146-55, (2013) Grapes are hypothesized to be a "food medicine." Freeze-dried grape powder (FDGP) is being used to test clinical activity for a variety of applications and a reproducible and reliable delivery system was required. The FDGP was characterized using traditional ... |
