The agro-food industry generates large amounts of waste that contribute to environmental contamination. Animal fat constitutes some the most relevant and treatment such is quite costly because regulations are strict. Part costs might be reduced through generation bioenergy. Biodiesel a valid renewable source energy it biodegradable, non-toxic has good combustion emission profile can blended up 20% with fossil diesel for its use in many countries. Furthermore, 70% total cost biodiesel majorly...
Food-derived bioactive peptides are receiving an increased interest for their contribution to human health. Current trends addressed towards the mass production of peptides. Modern in silico strategies based on simulation using bioinformatics tools providing large amounts data comparison empirical approaches traditionally used. Novel green technologies such as ultrasound, microwave, hydrostatic pressure, pulsed electric field and subcritical water being applied improving extraction yield...
Renin is the initial rate limiting step in renin angiotensinogen system (RAS). To combat hypertension, various stages of RAS can be positively affected. The aim this study was to isolate and characterize inhibitory peptides from red seaweed P. palmata for use functional foods. Palmaria protein extracted hydrolyzed with food grade enzyme Papain generate peptides. Following proteolytic hydrolysis protein, reverse phase-high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) employed enrich...
Metabolic engineering of the carotenoid pathway in recent years has successfully enhanced contents crop plants. It is now clear that only increasing biosynthesis restrictive, as mechanisms to sequestrate these increased levels cell or organelle should be exploited. In this study, biosynthetic genes were overexpressed tomato (Solanum lycopersicum) lines and effects on formation sequestration revealed. The bacterial Crt carotenogenic genes, independently combination, their zygosity affect...
Chicken hydrolysates (CHs) have been reported to protect mice against alcoholic liver injury possibly through oxidative stress reduction. In this study, the antioxidant activity of CHs was studied. Results showed that exhibited significant (around 600 and 400 μM TEAC/g in ORAC ABTS assay, respectively) could resist simulated gastrointestinal digestion. A total 22 peptides were identified after activity-oriented isolation using size-exclusion chromatography high-performance liquid...
A new HPLC procedure based on hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) has been developed for the simultaneous determination of carnosine, anserine, balenine, creatine, and creatinine in meat. This is first time that HILIC directly applied to study meat components, having advantage not requiring complex cleanup and/or sample derivatization procedures. The chromatographic separation using a silica column (4.6 × 150 mm, 3 μm), proposed methodology simple, reliable, fast (<13 min per...
