    Relative stabilities and the spectral signatures of stacked and hydrogen-bonded dimers of serotonin
    (Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2015) Dev, S.; Giri,Kousik; Majumder, M.; Sathyamurthy, N.; Dev, S.; Giri, K.; Majumder, M.; Sathyamurthy, N.
    The O-HsssN hydrogen-bonded dimer of serotonin is shown to be more stable than the stacked dimer in its ground electronic state, by using the M?ller-Plesset second-order perturbation theory (MP2) and the 6-31g??basis set. The vertical excitation energy for the lowest ? ? ?? transition for the monomer as well as the dimer is predicted by time-dependent density functional theory. The experimentally observed red shift of excitation wavelength on oligomerisation is explained in terms of the change in the HOMO-LUMO energy gap due to complex formation. The impact of dimer formation on the proton magnetic resonance spectrum of serotonin monomer is also examined. ? 2015 Taylor and Francis.

    Polymeric Encapsulates of Essential Oils and Their Constituents: A Review of Preparation Techniques, Characterization, and Sustainable Release Mechanisms
    (Taylor and Francis Inc., 2016) Vishwakarma, G.S.; Gautam, N.; Babu, J.N.; Mittal, S.; Jaitak, Vikas
    Natural polymer based encapsulation of essential oil (EO) is one of the emerging and challenging area of research in perfumery, cosmetics, flavoring agents, preservatives, therapeutics, etc. The knowledge of formulation techniques and physico-chemical properties of the polymers are the basic requirements for the successful encapsulations of essential oils (EOs). This current review article is focused on a comparative account of various formulation techniques based on their applicability. For the first time, it also reviews various physico-chemical techniques used in the analysis of EO encapsulates to determine their stability, structure, surface morphology, and encapsulation efficiency. Further, the mechanisms involved in the release of EOs from encapsulates, along with various factors affecting their release, have also been discussed. ? 2016 Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
