This study aimed to evaluate the incorporation effect of probiotic culture (Lactobacillus acidophilus) in buffalo milk yogurt on stability and microbial survival rate during storage. In addition, the influence of probiotic culture on blood lipid profiles was investigated for a period of 6 weeks. Yogurt was prepared with buffalo milk with different probiotic concentrations (0, 100, and 50%) and administered to subjects at 300 g/day.

Nanosized sorbents for the removal of heavy metal ions are preferred due to high surface area, smaller size, and enhanced reactivity during adsorbate/adsorbent interactions. In the present study, FeO, SnO, and TiO nanoparticles were prepared by microemulsion-assisted precipitation method. The particles were characterized by BET surface area, X-rays diffraction (XRD), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmittance electron microscopy (TEM), and X-ray photoelectron (XPS) spectroscopy.
