Soy-protein isolate (SPI) was used to prepare non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) thermosetting adhesives for wood panels by reacting it with dimethyl carbonate (DMC) and hexamethylene diamine. Both linear as well branched oligomers were obtained identified, indicating how such oligomer structures could further cross-link form a hardened network. Unusual observed, namely carbamic acid-derived ur...

Background: There is evidence to demonstrate an association between fungal sensitization and asthma. Several studies have shown that saprophytic fungi such as Alternaria, Penicillium and Aspergillus species are the most prevalent fungal allergens worldwide. The main purpose of this study was to compare Alternaria alternata, Penicillium ci...

Phyllanthus niruri L. (Euphorbiaceae) is a well-known hepatoprotective herbal plant. The aim of this study was to investigate the hepatoprotective action of the protein isolate of Phyllanthus niruri (P. niruri) against acetaminophen (APAP) induced hepatotoxicity. Protein isolate of P. niruri was intraperitoneally injected in mice either prior to (preventive) or after the induction of toxicity (...

Isoelectric solubilization /precipitation (ISP) process was used to isolate protein from muscles of Prussian carp, Carassius gibelio (Bloch, 1782). Fish protein and lipid were recovered from whole gutted Prussian carp using acidic and basic isoelectric solubilization/precipitation followed by assaying amino acid and fatty acid profile. Essential amino acids content in acidic and basic pH treatm...
