Optimization Co-Culture of and on Selenium-Enriched for Increased Monacolin K Production.

Selenium-enriched (SL) is a kind of edible fungi rich in organic selenium and nutrients. with high monacolin K (MK) production and were selected as the fermentation strains. A single-factor experiment and response surface methodology were conducted to optimize the production conditions for MK with higher contents from selenium-enriched fermentation (SLF).

Preparation, Multispectroscopic Characterization, and Stability Analysis of Red Pigments-Whey Protein Isolate Complex.

red pigments (MRPs) are mainly used as natural food colorants; however, their application is limited due to their poor stability. To expand their areas of application, we investigated the binding constants and capacity of MRPs to whey protein isolate (WPI) and whey protein hydrolysate (WPH) and calculated the surface hydrophobicities of WPI and WPH. MRPs were combined with WPI and WPH at a hydrolysis degree (DH) of 0.

Red Pigment Liposomes: Microstructural Characteristics, Stability, and Anticancer Activity.

red pigments (MRPs), which are a kind of natural colorant produced by spp., are widely used in the food and health supplements industry but are not very stable during processing and storage. Thus, MRPs were embedded into liposome membranes using a thin-film ultrasonic method to improve stability in this study.

Process Optimization, Amino Acid Composition, and Antioxidant Activities of Protein and Polypeptide Extracted from Waste Beer Yeast.

Repurposing of waste beer yeast (WBY) that a main by-product of brewing industry has attracted considerable attention in recent years. In this study, the protein and polypeptide were extracted by ultrasonic-assisted extraction and enzymatic hydrolysis with process optimization, which resulted in a maximum yield of 73.94% and 61.
