Comparative evaluation of the antioxidant, antimicrobial and nutritive properties of gluten-free flours.

Gluten-free flours are interesting alternative to wheat flours. They could be by-products of oilseed processing, characterized by high content of bioactive compounds. Therefore the aim of the study was to determine the antioxidant, antimicrobial properties, amino acid and fatty acid profile of flours obtained as by-products from the oil industry.

Production of tailor-made fatty acids from crude glycerol at low pH by Yarrowia lipolytica.

Nowadays, single cell oil (SCO) can play two distinct roles, first as a supplier of functional oils, and second as a feedstock for the biodiesel industry. These two distinct functions require a different fatty acids (FA) profile in the lipid pool. Moreover, to exploit their potential for industrialization, it is necessary to employ a low-cost substrate.

efficacy of the lipopeptide biosurfactant surfactin-C and its complexes with divalent counterions to inhibit biofilm and hyphal formation.

Surfactin is a type of cyclic lipopeptide biosurfactant implicated in a wide range of applications. Although its antimicrobial activity has been characterized, its effect on physiology remains to be elucidated. The present study evaluated the influence of surfactin-C (SF) and its complexes with divalent counterions on biofilm formation and preformed biofilms.

Anti-Microbiological, Anti-Hyperglycemic and Anti-Obesity Potency of Natural Antioxidants in Fruit Fractions of Saskatoon Berry.

The aim of the present work was to evaluate for content of phytochemicals (monophosphate nucleotides, free amino acids, polyphenols), and for anti-microbiological, anti-diabetic (ability to inhibit pancreatic lipase, α-glucosidase, and α-amylase), and antioxidant activities in seven selected fruit and fruit fractions of . Most of the fruit and fruit fractions analyzed in this study have not been examined in this respect until now. The content of monophosphate nucleotides and free amino acids were tested by ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with photodiode array detector and electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (UPLC-PDA-ESI-MS).

Trypsin inhibitor, antioxidant and antimicrobial activities as well as chemical composition of potato sprouts originating from yellow- and colored-fleshed varieties.

Potato sprouts could be a valuable resource of phytochemicals such as secondary plant metabolites, potential antioxidants and nutritive compounds. In this work, potato sprout extracts of five varieties were examined; they differed in major glycoalkaloid content, trypsin inhibitor activity, total polyphenol content and antioxidant activity, as well as in antimicrobial activity against Gram + and G - bacteria, and yeast. Sprouts of colored-fleshed tubers were characterized by higher trypsin inhibitor activity than sprouts of yellow potatoes.

Lipid Production From Waste Materials in Seawater-Based Medium by the Yeast .

The global limitation of fossil fuels impels scientists to search for new energy sources. A good alternative is biodiesel produced from crop plants. However, its production requires huge quantities of farmland, fertilizers and fresh water, which is in conflict with the human demand for water for consumption and land for food production.
