Article Synopsis
  • - The study explored using residues from petroleum and cassava industries to sustainably produce xanthan gum (XG) via Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. manihotis 1182, resulting in a yield of 6.80 g/L.
  • - Microscopic analyses showed that the recovered XG had elongated fiber-like structures and well-defined crystalline properties, indicating a higher quality compared to commercial samples.
  • - The recovered XG exhibited low viscosity but high emulsification capacity, highlighted by emulsification indices over 50%, marking the first creation of a complex XG-metal structure with these characteristics.

Objectives: This in vitro study aimed to assess the impact of incorporating calcium glycerophosphate (CaGP) and sodium fluoride (NaF) in addition to 35% hydrogen peroxide concerning the enamel mechanical and morphological properties.

Methods: Specimens of bovine enamel were chosen based on their initial surface hardness (SHi) and subsequently divided into five gel groups (n=12): 1) 35% Hydrogen Peroxide (HP) Gel; 2) HP + 0.1% NaF Gel (HP/NaF); 3) HP + 0.
