Composition, Structure, and Techno-Functional Characteristics of the Flour, Protein Concentrate, and Protein Isolate from Purslane (Portulaca oleracea L.) Seeds.

One potential avenue to increase the production of valuable protein ingredients for the food industry is developing vegetable proteins from non-traditional plant sources. In the present study, the composition, structure and techno-functional characteristics of defatted purslane flour (DF), protein concentrate (PC), and protein isolate (AP) were investigated. The results revealed that DF, PC, and PI contained low levels of moisture, ash, and fat.

Treatment of hepatotoxicity induced by γ-radiation using platelet-rich plasma and/or low molecular weight chitosan in experimental rats.

Platelet-rich plasma (PRP) is rich in growth factors and plays an important role in tissue healing and cytoprotection. Also, it has been proved that low molecular weight chitosan (LMC) possesses many outstanding health benefits. The aim of this study was to assess the possibility of using PRP and/or fungal LMC to treat hepatotoxicity induced by γ-radiation in albino rats.

Preparation and physicochemical properties of protein concentrate and isolate produced from (Forssk.) Hayne ssp. .

The composition and physicochemical properties of defatted acacia flour (DFAF), acacia protein concentrate (APC) and acacia protein isolate (API) were evaluated. The results indicated that API had lower, ash and fat content, than DFAF and APC. Also, significant difference in protein content was noticed among DFAF, APC and API (37.

Physicochemical properties, nutritional value and techno-functional properties of goldenberry (Physalis peruviana) waste powder concise title: Composition of goldenberry juice waste.

Goldenberry waste powder, contained 5.87% moisture, 15.89% protein, 13.

Antibacterial activity of chitosan against Aeromonas hydrophila.

The effect of chitosan on growth and production of haemolysin by Aeromonas hydrophila was investigated as well as the effects of temperature, pH, salts and irradiation on the antibacterial activity of chitosan. It was found that chitosan affected growth and haemolysin production of A. hydrophila in varying degrees compared to the control.
