Integrated Evaluation of Dual-Functional DPP-IV and ACE Inhibitory Effects of Peptides Derived from Sericin Hydrolysis and Their Stabilities during In Vitro-Simulated Gastrointestinal and Plasmin Digestions.

Sericin, a byproduct of the silk industry, is an underutilized protein derived from the yellow silk cocoon. This research aimed to produce and characterize the bioactive peptides from sericin using various enzymatic hydrolysis methods. Alcalase, papain, neutrase, and protease were tested under their respective digestion conditions.

Gelation and vibrational spectroscopy of tropical surimi induced by ascorbic acid and hydrogen peroxide.

The combined effect of ascorbic acid (AsA) and hydrogen peroxide (H O ) on gel-forming ability and structural changes of lizardfish (LZ) and threadfin bream (TB) surimi were investigated. Addition of 0.15% AsA and 0.
