The synthesis of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) is usually based on expensive methods that use or generate chemicals that can negatively impact the environment. Our study presents a simple one-step synthesis process for obtaining AgNP using an aqueous extract of Amazonian fruit açai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) as the reducing and stabilizing agents.

This study aimed to microencapsulate protein hydrolysates from stripped weakfish (Cynoscion guatucupa) industrial byproducts produced by Alcalase (HA) and Protamex (HP) by spray drying, using maltodextrin as wall material. The physicochemical characteristics, and in vitro antioxidant and Angiotensin-I converting enzyme-inhibitory activities were evaluated during storage. Both microencapsulated hydrolysates showed spherical shape (~3.
