SOLUBILITY KINETICS OF DRUGS STUDIED BY LALLS METHOD IN WATER SOLUTIONS WITH VARIOUS HYDROGEN ISOTOPE CONTENT by E. V. Anfimova, E. V. Uspenskaya, T. V. Pleteneva, A. V. Syroeshkin

“…The kinetic evaluation of solubility of drug substances of different chemical and pharmacological groups (bendazol hydrochloride, lactose monohydrate and taurine) was conducted in aqueous solutions with different isotopic composition of hydrogen. The choice of solvent was made due to the fact that the replacement of purified water, containing 141,0 ± 0,9 ррm 21H(D) heavy isotope of hydrogen, to water with low content of 21H(D) can accelerate the solubility of the active process pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), approximately in 1,5 times. …”

Impact of resistant starch formation in chickpea products on blood glucose and lipid profiles: Effects of cooking and storage conditions by Saloni Chauhan, Harpreet Kaur, Renuka Aggarwal, Prabhjot Kaur, Kiran Bains

“…This study aimed to assess the effects of cooking and storage temperature on the formation of resistant starch in processed chickpea and its effects upon blood glucose level and lipid profile in both humans and rats. Common cooking methods were used including boiling, roasting, pressure cooking and steamed after germination (steamed after seeds were germinated).The processed chickpea was held at various temperatures: it was made freshly prepared (T1), kept at room temperature (20–22 °C) for 24 h (T2), kept at 4 °C for 24 h (T3), and processed chickpea after being kept at 4 °C for 24hthen samples were reheated (T4).The proximate composition, total dietary fibre, resistant starch, and amylose content were analyzed. …”
