• Cognis Achieves Novel Foods Approval for Plant Sterols in Canada

  A recent ruling by Health Canada now allows Cognis’ natural plant sterol and sterol esters to be used in food products. In June 2009, when Cognis submitted a Novel Food application, phytosterols were only approved for use in dietary supplements. The Novel Food approval includes criteria for the use more

• IMS Forecasts Global Pharmaceutical Market Growth of 5-8% Annually through 2014

  IMS Health reported that the size of the global market for pharmaceuticals is expected to grow nearly $300 billion (ex manufacturer prices) over the next five years, reaching $1.1 trillion in 2014. The 5 - 8 percent compound annual growth rate during this period reflects the impact of leading produc more

• Quantum computer calculates exact energy of molecular hydrogen

  In an important first for a promising new technology, scientists have used a quantum computer to calculate the precise energy of molecular hydrogen. This groundbreaking approach to molecular simulations could have profound implications not just for quantum chemistry, but also for a range of fields f more

• Charge influence of liposome on transdermal delivery efficacy

  To investigate the charge influence of the drug delivery system, cholesterol analogues, either with cationic, 4-cholesterocarbonyl-4′-(N,N,N-triethylamine butyloxyl bromide) azobenzene (CAB), or the neutral, 4-cholesterocarbonyl-4′-(N,N-diethylamine butyloxyl) azobenzene (ACB) were synthesized and c more

• Sum Frequency Generation Vibrational Spectroscopy of Cholesterol in Hybrid Bilayer Membranes

  The assignment of the vibrational spectrum of cholesterol is surprisingly incomplete for such a fundamental molecule. To improve our understanding, a new investigation of the spectra of cholesterol in the C–H stretching region has been undertaken using the surface specific technique of Sum Frequency more

• The secondary structure of apoA‐I on 9.6 nm rHDL determined by EPR spectroscopy

  Abstract Apolipoprotein A‐I (apoA‐I) is the major protein component of high‐density lipoprotein (HDL) and critical to maintenance of cholesterol homeostasis. During reverse cholesterol transport HDL transitions between an array of subclasses, differing in size and composition. This process requi more
