Nowadays, microalgae and cyanobacteria have become a promising sustainable source of useful products, thanks to their richness in bioactive metabolites high value (antibiotics, toxins, pharmaceutically active compounds, plant growth regulators, others). These photoautotroph microorganisms generate biomass using photosynthesis. This review, which distinguishes Cyanobacteria, often called blue-green microalgae, aims present classification taxonomic diversity as the ecological niches occupied...
Given the significant quantity of betalain pigments, beetroot represents a potential source natural colorants that can be employed in food industry. The present investigation explored impact ethanolic peel (EBP) extract beef meat preservation. EBP displayed 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging effect with an IC50 value 0.96 mg/mL. anti-S. aureus, anti-L. monocytogenes, anti-E. coli, and anti-Salmonella enterica activity was assessed, minimum inhibitory concentration ≤1.5...
The present study aimed to formulate and subsequently evaluate sunscreen cream (W/O/W emulsion) containing three photo-protective filters: benzophenone-3, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate titanium dioxide at different percentages. Formulations were stored 8, 25 40 °C for four weeks investigate their stability. Color, centrifugation, liquefaction, phase separation, pH Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of formulations determined. microbiological stability the creams was also evaluated organoleptic...
Polysaccharides from marine algae are one novel source of plant defense elicitors for alternative and eco-friendly protection against phytopathogens. The effect exopolysaccharides (EPS) produced by Porphyridium sordidum on elicitation Arabidopsis thaliana responses Fusarium oxysporum was evaluated. Firstly, in order to enhance EPS production, a Box-Behnken experimental design carried out optimize NaCl, NaNO3 MgSO4 concentrations the culture medium microalgae. A maximum production (2.45 g/L)...
The COVID-19 new variants spread rapidly all over the world, and until now scientists strive to find virus-specific antivirals for its treatment. main protease of SARS-CoV-2 (Mpro) exhibits high structural sequence homology SARS-CoV (93.23% identity), their alignment indicated 12 mutated/variant residues. led identification only one residue with no significant role in enzymatic process. Therefore, Mpro was considered as a high-profile drug target anti-SARS-CoV-2 discovery. Apigenin analogues...
The Mediterranean area is one of the major global producers agricultural food. However, along entire supply chain—from farming to food distribution and consumption—food waste represents a significant fraction. Additionally, plant residues generated during cultivation specific fruits vegetables must also be considered. This heterogeneous biomass valuable source bioactive compounds materials that can transformed into high-performance functional products. By analyzing technical scientific...
Summary Microbiological, chemical and sensory effects of pomegranate peel ethanol extract (EE) at 0.1, 0.5 1% (w w −1 ) on refrigerated minced beef meat were undertaken. Chemical analyses revealed that the treated underwent significant decrease (P < 0.05) primary secondary lipid oxidation. By end storage, EE reduced MetMb, carbonyl group accumulation disappearance sulphydryl proteins by 56.68, 65.71 59.69% respectively, compared with control samples. showed also highest scores for colour,...
