Thirteen different formulations of throat lozenges were examined for their acidity, demineralizing action on hydroxylapatite, and fermentability by human dental plaque micro-organisms. Their flavouring acids gave them low pH values in the range 2.6-3.7, leading to the dissolution of calcium and phosphorus from hydroxylapatite. The combination of antiseptics and flavouring acids in the lozenges inhibited microbial growth and metabolism. In the absence of any antiseptics and flavouring acids, the growth and metabolic activity of cultures of plaque micro-organisms were significantly greater on sucrose+glucose lozenges than on a new Lycasin formulation.

Defatting dehulled hemp seeds is a crucial step prior to protein extraction. However, conventional methods rely on flammable solvents, posing significant health, safety, and environmental concerns. Additionally, hemp protein has poor extractability, challenging functionality, and flavor limitations, restricting its broader application in foods.

Late-maturing hybrid citrus is a significant fruit that combines the best traits of both parents and is highly prized for its unique flavor. Not only can organic acids alter the flavor of citrus pulp, but they are also essential for cellular metabolism, energy conversion, and maintaining the acidbase balance in plant tissues. Although organic acids play a key role in the quality formation of citrus fruits, there is still insufficient research on the metabolic processes of organic acids in late-maturing hybrid citrus varieties.

Understanding the permeation of drugs through the intercellular lipid matrix of the stratum corneum layer of skin is crucial for effective transdermal delivery. Molecular dynamics simulations can provide molecular insights into the permeation process. In this study, we developed a new atomistic model representing the multilamellar arrangement of lipids in the stratum corneum intercellular space for permeation studies.
