Preparation And Antimicrobial Activity Of Caprylic Acid Emulsion For Food Coating, Raweewan Bunyovimonnat Jan 2018

Preparation And Antimicrobial Activity Of Caprylic Acid Emulsion For Food Coating, Raweewan Bunyovimonnat

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

Antimicrobial food coating is the interesting method for food preservation, especially in fruits and vegetables. Previous studies have been reported that the caprylic acid had the antimicrobial activity against a variety of microorganisms. However, little research has been conducted on the use of caprylic acid in the form of food coatings. Therefore, this study aims to determine the optimum conditions for the caprylic acid emulsion preparation and to evaluate the antimicrobial activity of the emulsion, including the effect of food coatings with caprylic acid emulsion on physical properties and microbial growth inhibition. Emulsions containing 4% w/v caprylic acid (oil) and …


Carbohydrate Content Of The Medications For Epileptic Children Treated With Ketogenic Diet At King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thanarat Sawangrit Jan 2018

Carbohydrate Content Of The Medications For Epileptic Children Treated With Ketogenic Diet At King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital, Thanarat Sawangrit

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

The purposes of this study were to establish a database of the carbohydrate content of medications and investigate carbohydrate content of medications in epileptic children treated with ketogenic diet (KD) at King Chulalongkorn Memorial Hospital. One hundred sixty-nine KD order forms in 3 events (KD initiation, follow-up visit, and hospital re-admission) for epileptic children whose aged younger than 18 years old during 2009-2017 were selected. Clinical and nutritional data were obtained from medical records and KD order forms from the pediatric nutrition unit. The study showed that oral liquid dosage forms had the highest carbohydrate content in the formulations as …


Effect Of Bitter Gourd Extracts On The Mutagenicity Of 1-Aminopyrene Reacted With Nitrite Using Ames Test, Korkiat Panpasuk Jan 2018

Effect Of Bitter Gourd Extracts On The Mutagenicity Of 1-Aminopyrene Reacted With Nitrite Using Ames Test, Korkiat Panpasuk

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study was conducted to investigate the mutagenic activity of raw and cooked bitter gourd (Momordica charantia) including raw fruit extract (RW), blanching water (BW), hot water extract from blanched fruit (HB), stir-fried fruit extract (SF), and stir-fried fruit (pre-squeezed with salt) extract (SS). In addition, the effects of extracts in modifying the mutagenic activity of mutagen freshly prepared by the reaction between 1-aminopyrene and sodium nitrite and the effects when adding each extract at the beginning of the same reaction using Ames test on Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100 without enzymatic activation were also determined. The data for …


Antioxidant And Antimutagenic Activity Of Extracts From Pericarp And Seed Of Zanthoxylum Limonella Alston, Patamawan Wipoosanapan Jan 2018

Antioxidant And Antimutagenic Activity Of Extracts From Pericarp And Seed Of Zanthoxylum Limonella Alston, Patamawan Wipoosanapan

Chulalongkorn University Theses and Dissertations (Chula ETD)

This study was conducted to investigate the antioxidant and antimutagenic activity of Zanthoxylum limonella seed extract and that of Z. limonella pericarp extract. The total phenolic contents and antioxidant activity assay including DPPH assay and FRAP assay were performed. The results showed that the antioxidant activity of pericarp extract was higher than that of the seed extract. The direct mutagenicity assay was determined, with and without nitrite treatment using the Ames test towards Salmonella typhimurium strains TA98 and TA100. The mutagenic modification assay was performed by measuring the interfering effect of the pericarp extract and the seed extract on the …
