Seaweeds are one of the ancient food supplements on Earth. Especially Asian countries use seaweeds as fundamental ingredient in their cuisine. photosynthetic organisms living aquatic ecosystems and coastal territories. out farm areas frequently observed wastes. However, outstanding sources for bioactive substances investigation properties seaweed RuBisCO has never been done. is most abundant pr...

The effect of ultrasound (US) pre-treatment on the evolution of Maillard reaction (MR), induced between low molecular weight (LMW) peptides and sucrose, was studied. LMW peptides (<1kDa) were obtained by the ultrafiltration of smooth hound viscera protein hydrolysates, produced by Neutrase, Esperase and Purafect. MR was induced by heating the LMW peptides in the presence of sucrose for 2h at 90...

Bioactive peptides are released during the production of fermented dairy, vegetables, fruits, legumes, fish, and meat products. The proteolytic specificity lactic acid bacteria, Bacillus spp., yeasts, mold, apart from their ability to synthesize bioactive peptides, plays an important role in generation specific traditional foods. Controlled fermentation using defined starter strains has been ex...

SUMMARY Protein homeostasis (proteostasis) is crucial for proper cellular function, including the production of peptides with biological functions through controlled proteolysis. Proteostasis has roles in maintenance and plant interactions environment under physiological conditions. Plant stress continues to reduce agricultural yields causing substantial economic losses; thus, it critical under...

Fermentation is a promising solution to valorize cheese whey, the main by-product of dairy industry. In Parmigiano Reggiano production, natural whey starter (NWS), an undefined community thermophilic lactic acid bacteria, obtained from previous day residual through incubation at gradually decreasing temperature after curd cooking. The aim this study was investigate effect fermentation regime (s...

In order to get products with antioxidant activity from Arca subcrenata Lischke, the optimal hydrolase and hydrolysis conditions were investigated in the paper. Three proteases (neutrase, alcalase and papain) were applied to hydrolyze the homogenate of A. subcrenata. An orthogonal design was used to optimize hydrolysis conditions, and the pH-stat methods was used to determine the degree of hydr...

The aim of this study was to purify and identify peptides with antioxidant properties from protein hydrolysate of scalloped hammerhead (Sphyrna lewini) cartilage. Cartilaginous proteins of the scalloped hammerhead were extracted by guanidine hydrochloride, and three antioxidant peptides, named enzymolysis peptide of scalloped hammerhead cartilage A (SCPE-A), SCPE-B and SCPE-C, were subsequently...
