Functional properties and antioxidative activity of a protein hydrolysate prepared from Acanthogobius hasta processing by-product protein during solid-state fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae were investigated. Overall, protease activity increased with the degree of hydrolysis (DH) decreased during solid-state fermentation. All the protein hydrolysate had excellent solubility, possessed inter...

Introduction Lactose malabsorption arises from lactase deficiency and may lead to lactose intolerance - gastrointestinal symptoms after lactose ingestion. Occurrence and severity of the symptoms are influenced by many factors, including the dose of lactose and the intensity of its colonic fermentation to short chain fatty acids and gases. Material and methods The hydrogen breath test (HBT) af...

Scale-up and design parameters have been investigated in 5 liters rotating drum bioreactors. System applies for animal feed production from cassava waste material using solid-state fermentation. The course of fermentation was 96 hours and all parameters related to microbial growth were measured every 12 hours namely glucosamine content, %urea, %protein, % carbohydrate, and %fat. The solid was t...

Rice straw is one of the potential economic feedstock for biobutanol production through ABE fermentation. However, the rice straw hydrolysate-based fermentation medium needs to be supported with nutritional elements. In this study, an attempt is made to optimize the rice straw hydrolysate-based fermentation medium employing Clostridium acetobutylicum MTCC 481 using Taguchi design of experiments...

Lactiplantibacillus plantarum is a lactic acid bacterium that grows in different environments; this ability arises due to the variability within species, which may be influenced by their origin. On other hand, habanero pepper (Capsicum chinense) from Yucatan, Mexico, characterized its unique sensory properties such as aroma and pungency has an annual production of more than 5000 t Yucatan Penin...

BACKGROUND During the last decades, environmental contamination by lead generated from human activities has become an evident concern. The present study assessed the long-term effects of neonatal exposure to different doses of lead acetate on the ovaries of offspring rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Pregnant female Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control and three experimental groups. The...

A small-scale mashing (SSM) procedure requiring only 300 mg of samples was investigated as a possible method of predicting ethanol yield of sorghum grain. The initial SSM procedure, which was conducted similarly to the mashing step in a traditional fermentation test, hydrolyzed just 38.5–47.2% of total sorghum starch to glucose. The initial procedure was simplified to contain only one liquefact...
