![]() Bernadeth Ticar, Western Visayas College of Science and Technology’s (now ISAT U) pride, entitled her ongoing research (June2015-May 2016): Bioactive Hyaluronic Acid from heads of Silver-Banded Whiting for Nutraceutical Use.Īlso it can be used to lessen or even prevent the oxidation of other chemicals in human body.ĭr. The chemicals found on the heads of silver-banded whiting fish can be used in cosmetics as anti-aging and anti-oxidant. ![]() Its name was taken from the brilliant silvery strip across its elongated and slightly compressed body with two apparent dorsal fins by Martin and Montalban in 1935 from a single physical sample of an organism collected in the waters of Western Central Pacific Lumbucan Island, Palawan Philippines. The specie’s head contains Hyaluronic acid which can be mixed in cosmetics. Hyaluronic Acid, also known as Hyaluronan or Hyaluronate (HA) is a carbohydrate, specifically, a mucopolysaccharide occurring naturally throughout the human body. When not bound to other molecules, it binds to water and gives off a stiff viscous or a gel-like water holding molecule that is the space filler and cushioning agent in all mammals. HA cushions joints, nerves, hydrates skin and hair, and fills the eye. ![]() Although originally discovered in 1934 by Karl Meyer, HA gained momentum only after a visit by a reporter to a Japanese village of Yuzuri Hara to find out why both men and women in their 80’s and 90’s had smooth wrinkle free skin, flexible joints, full heads of hair and activity levels that defied their age.Īnother research discussed when was HA discovered. It was when first commercially used in 1942 when Endre Balazs applied for a patent to use it as a substitute for egg white in bakery products. No other molecule had ever been discovered that has such unique properties to human body. ![]() Scientific studies have shown that HA improves skin hydration, stimulates production of collagen in skin, works as an antioxidant and free radical scavenger, maintains skin’s elasticity, cushions joints and nerve tissues, and protect against numerous possible eye concerns.īecause Ha is one of the most hydrophilic (water-loving) molecules in nature with numerous benefits for the human body, today it can be described as “nature’s moisturizer”.Burrum Heads, found on the shores of Hervey Bay and the Burrum River, is a thriving town that is endowed with spectacular natural beauty, amazing fishing opportunities and a range of amenities, accommodation options and recreational pursuits to suit just about any level of desire.Ĭoal was the catalyst for development in the Burrum Heads region and 1863 is widely considered as the first significant milestone in the town’s development.Īs only the second coalfields to be actively worked in Queensland, the Burrum Coalfields played a major role in the development of the entire region providing impetus for the extension of the railway north from Brisbane and the construction of the Urangan Pier. In total, mining of the area spanned around 130 years, from 1866 until the closure of the last coalmine in 1997, and saw some 94 shafts and tunnels dug and, at its peak, employed over 400 personnel. But it wasn’t all coal mining with timber harvesting, citrus growing, cattle farming and small agriculture business being established firstly to support and the coal industry and then dominating the local economy.
