This study aims to characterize the pectic oligosaccharides (POSs) generated from enzymatically hydrolyzed citrus peel pectin using a selected enzyme. Pectinex Ultra AFP was used depolymerize into POSs. The POSs were analyzed high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and coupled with mass spectrometer (LC/MS) methodology determine composition of monosaccharides average molar distribution based on retention time. identified fractions predominantly neutral sugars (rhamnose, glucose,...

The role of prebiotics and probiotics in promoting gut health is increasingly recognized food development nutrition research. This study explored the enhancement probiotic viability industry through microencapsulated synbiotics, focusing on Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NCIMB 11974 with fructooligosaccharides (FOSs) inulin as prebiotics. effect encapsulation a chitosan-coated alginate matrix survival under simulated gastrointestinal conditions showed significant 2% FOS concentration growth...

The valorization of cheese whey, a rich by-product the dairy industry that is in lactose (approx. 70%), proteins (14%), and minerals (9%), represents promising approach for microbial fermentation. With global whey production exceeding 200 million tons annually, high biochemical oxygen demand underlines important need sustainable processing alternatives. This review explores biotechnological potential as fermentation medium by examining its chemical composition, interactions, ability to...

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects enzymatic hydrolysis using α-amylase from Bacillus amyloliquefaciens on mechanical properties starch-based films. process parameters and degree (DH) were optimized a Box-Behnken design (BBD) response surface methodology (RSM). resulting hydrolyzed corn starch films (tensile strain at break, tensile stress Young's modulus) evaluated. results showed that optimum DH for achieve improved film-forming solutions achieved water ratio 1:2.8,...

Nonbiodegradable food packaging films are made from plastics such as polyethylene and polypropylene, which can take hundreds of years to decompose create environmental hazards. On the other hand, biodegradable renewable materials corn starch or cellulose, that degrade within a few weeks months prove be more sustainable environmentally friendly. In this work, we used hydrolyzed (CSH) with α-amylase prepare film properties. The was tested for 60 days at different accelerated temperatures...

Although its high protein content, bioactive compounds, and dietary fibers have many health benefits, lupine (Lupinus sp.) was undervalued as a resourceful plant. In the last years, however, number of studies on use potential food ingredient has increased. this study, obtaining sweet concentrate (SLPC) hydrolysate with degree hydrolysis (DH) simultaneous low intensity bitterness pursued. The experimental design carried out, according to Taguchi methodology, using three parameters: enzyme...

This study assessed chemical components and enzymatic hydrolysis of bee pollen (BP) as an approach to modify its structure generate bioactive peptides which can be used functional ingredients. The food grade proteases Alcalase 2.4L Protamex were at optimized parameters. degree (DH), protein content molecular mass (MM) distribution the soluble in hydrolysates determined indicators for hydrolysis. highest DH was reached by (10.39 %), whereas showed lowest (9.31 %). total recovered from 16.01 %...

The goal of this work was to evaluate the effect zinc sulphate heptahydrate on growth rate and β-carotene production obtain zinc-enriched biomass using selected yeast strain Rhodotorula glutinis CCY 020-002-033. batch cultivation performed synthetic basal medium supplemented with various concentrations ZnSO4·7H20 (0.025%, 0.035%, 0.050%), in shake flasks aerobic conditions, at 300C, for five days. Total accumulated cells after fermentation period ICP-OES. identification yield β–carotene were...

This study investigated the combined alkaline and enzymatic hydrolysis of eggshell membranes for obtaining ingredients food cosmetic applications. 1.25 N NaOH Alcalase 2.4 L protease were used membrane hydrolysis. The characterization hydrolysates consisted determination degree hydrolysis, oligopeptides, free amino acids obtained through was 14.23%. Analytical techniques such as reversed-phase liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, hydrophilic interaction chromatography, FT-IR...
