Application


  • A full factorial experimental design to study the effect of flavoring agents on the mechanical properties of curcumin chewing gum tablets with high solids content.: The research explores how different flavoring agents, including peppermint oil, affect the mechanical properties of curcumin chewing gum tablets. This study is relevant for developing optimized formulations in pharmaceutical biochemistry (Al Hagbani et al., 2020).

  • Stress Response and Virulence Potential Modulating Effect of Peppermint Essential Oil in Campylobacter jejuni.: This investigation looks into how peppermint essential oil modulates stress responses and virulence in Campylobacter jejuni, highlighting its potential application in biochemical studies related to microbial pathogenesis and infection control (Kovács et al., 2019).

  • Application of in vitro lipolysis for the development of oral self-emulsified delivery system of nimodipine.: This paper discusses the use of in vitro lipolysis to develop an oral self-emulsified delivery system for nimodipine, incorporating peppermint oil as a key component. It emphasizes the role of biochemistry in enhancing drug delivery methods (Alayoubi et al., 2018).
