Novel encapsulation method for probiotics using an interpolymer complex in supercriticial carbon dioxide

Author: Moolman, FS ; Labuschagne, Philip W ; Thantsha, MS ; Van Der Merwe, TL ; Rolfes, H ; Cloete, TE Date: Oct 2006 The CSIR has developed a novel scCO2-based encapsulation technology utilizing interpolymer complex formation to improve the barrier properties of the polymer system. In this paper the auhtors report some results obtained in the application ... Read more
Optimization of perfluorocarbon emulsion properties for enhancing oxygen mass transfer in a bio-artificial liver support system

Author: Moolman, FS ; Rolfes, H ; Van der Merwe, SW ; Focke, WW Date: 29 Jul 2004 The oxygen carrying performance of a perfluorooctyl bromide (PFOB) emulsion is considered. The intended purpose is to enhance hepatocyte growth and function in a bio-artificial liver support system (BALSS). Such oxygen carrying emulsions have ... Read more
Probiotics: What we know and what we need to know

Author: Moolman, FS ; Cloete, TE ; Thantsha, MS Date: Nov 2005 Prebiotics is a non-digestible food ingredient that beneficially affects the host by selectively stimulating the growth and/or activity of one or a limited number of bacteria in the colon (Roberfroid, 1998; Theuer et al., 1998; Young, 1998; ...

Spherezymes: A novel structured self-immobilisation enzyme technology

Author: Brady, D ; Jordaan, J ; Simpson, C ; Chetty, A ; Arumugam, C ; Moolman, FS Date: 31 Jan 2008 Enzymes have found extensive and growing application in the field of chemical organic synthesis and resolution of chiral intermediates. In order to stabilise the enzymes and to facilitate their recovery and recycle, they are frequently ... Read more
Surface coated polyurethane with improved bioactivity and cytocompatability

Author: Chetty, AS ; Seynberg, TJ ; Moolman, FS ; Nilen, RWN ; Joubert, AM ; Richter, PW Date: Feb 2006 Polyurethane (PU) may be suitable for various implant applications; however, it lacks bioactivity. Bioactivity allows for direct tissue attachment at the bio- interface, enabling implant fixation while preventing fibrous encapsulation. To ... Read more
Survival of B. longum Bb-46 in simulated gastrointestinal fluids

Author: Thantsha, MS ; Cloete, TE ; Moolman, FS ; Labuschagne, Philip W Date: Jan 2009 Gastric acidity is the main factor affecting viability of probiotics in the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). This study investigated the survival in simulated gastrointestinal fluids of Bifidobacterium longum Bb-46 encapsulated in interpolymer ... Read more
