A Review on Novel Emulsification Technique: A Nanoemulsion
Abstract: Kinetically stable and isotropic system of submicron size range is the nanoemulsion. In this system two immiscible liquids are mixed together to form a single-phase system with the identical concentration and ratio of surfactant and cosurfactant. Nanoemulsion droplet sizes fall typically in the range of 20- 200 nm. Some literature suggest this range below 100 nm with shows narrow size distribution. In this review, major focus is given on the …

Application of Aqueous Two-Phase Systems in the Extraction of Bovine Serum Albumin
Abstract: Protein partitioning in an aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) has been found to be a powerful method for extracting and separating mixtures of biomolecules. In ATPS, many factors influence the partition coefficient K (which is the ratio of protein concentration in the top phase to that in the bottom phase) and the recovery percent (Rec%). Two systems of ATPS were used: first, polyethylene glycol (PEG4000)/sodium phosphate, and second, PEG4000/dextran. The behavior …
