Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates how increasing protein concentration in skim milk affects the distribution of calf rennet activity (RA) in cheese curds, impacting taste and texture.
  • Results show that as skim milk concentration increases, more rennet activity is found in curds, whether produced by traditional methods or slow acidification with GDL.
  • Despite changes in curd RA distribution, the amount of residual RA in the whey remains constant, indicating that the interaction between caseins might be more influential than enzyme association.

The release behavior of Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus from single bilayer microcapsules of alginate-chitosan (AC) and its double bilayer (ACAC) was investigated in simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF). Methods Multilayer polyelectrolyte AC microcapsules were fabricated using the layer-by-layer (LbL) self-assembly technique through electrostatic interactions. Results AC and ACAC microcapsules kept their integrity and mechanical stability in simulated gastric conditions.

Background: The use of bacteria to synthesize nanoparticles as an environment-friendly method has recently been considered by researchers. Bacteria residing in different mines have shown high potential in the synthesis of metal nanoparticles due to their compatibility with the environment. The aim of this study was to evaluate the ability of Zarshouran gold mine bacteria to synthesize silver nanoparticles and their antibacterial activity.

Nowadays, carbon nano (CN) structures and specifically carbon nanotubes (CNTs), because of the nanotube's nanoscale shape, are widely used in carrier and separation applications. The conjugation of CNTs with polysaccharide, proteins, drugs, and magnetic nanoparticles provides a chance for smart targeting and trajectory manipulation, which are used in the crucial field of life science applications, including for cancer disease diagnostics and treatments. Providing an optimal procedure for delivering a drug to a specific area based on mathematical criteria is key in systemic delivery design.
