A review on the processing technique, physicochemical, and bioactive properties of marine collagen.

Collagens are conventionally derived from bovine and porcine sources. However, these sources were commonly associated with infectious diseases such as bovine spongiform encephalopathy, foot and mouth disease, autoimmune and allergic reactions, and religious constraints. The significant amount of collagen available in marine species, especially fish skins, scales, fins, and bones, shows that marine species can be a potential alternative source to mammalian collagen.

Biosynthesized MgONPs using seed extract: Characterization, anti-oxidant and anti-microbial activity.

The present study investigates seed extracts which are considered as a promising and valuable source of bioactive compounds were prepared using different solvents such as methanol, ethanol, petroleum ether, acetone, chloroform, and diethyl ether. Among these solvents, methanol exhibited the highest extraction with a yield of 42 %. HPLC analysis revealed the highest concentration of quercetin flavonoids (49.

Investigations on anticancer activity of Eu doped hydroxyapatite nanocomposites against MCF7 and 4T1 breast cancer cell lines: A structural and luminescence Perspective.

Breast cancer remains a significant global health concern, necessitating the development of novel therapeutic approaches. In this study, we investigate the role of Eu doped hydroxyapatite nanocomposites (Han: Eu) in the treatment of MCF7 and 4T1 breast cancer cell lines. Furthermore, we explored the structural and luminescent properties of these nanocomposites.

Physicochemical and thermal properties of pepsin- and acid-soluble collagen isolated from the body wall of sea cucumbers (Stichopus hermanni).

The main objective of this work was to characterize the acid-soluble collagen (ASC) and pepsin-soluble collagen (PSC) from the body wall of the sea cucumber scientifically called, Stichopus hermanni. For the extraction of ASC and PSC, the pre-treated sea cucumber body walls were subjected to 0.5 M acetic acid and 5 g L pepsin, respectively.

Effect of Extraction Time on the Extractability and Physicochemical Properties of Pepsin-Soluble Collagen (PCS) from the Skin of Silver Catfish ( sp.).

The current study aimed to determine the effects of extraction time on the extractability and physicochemical properties of collagen from the skin of silver catfish ( sp.). Pepsin soluble collagen (PSC) was extracted for 24 and 48 h and analysed in terms of chemical composition, solubility, functional group, microstructure, and rheological properties.

Gelatin-Based Film as a Color Indicator in Food-Spoilage Observation: A Review.

The color indicator can monitor the quality and safety of food products due to its sensitive nature toward various pH levels. A color indicator helps consumers monitor the freshness of food products since it is difficult for them to depend solely on their appearance. Thus, this review could provide alternative suggestions to solve the food-spoilage determination, especially for perishable food.

Purification, characterization and molecular docking study of angiotensin-I converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptide from shortfin scad () protein hydrolysate.

Hypertension is a threatening chronic disease, which become a global killer among the adult population. The mortality rate increasing day by day even several Angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor drugs were introduced. Bioactive peptides derived from aquatic resources exhibits potential ACE inhibitory activity.

Novel Phytochemical Constituents and Anticancer Activities of the Genus, Typhonium.

Background: Typhonium is the largest genus in the Araceae family (~70 species), distributed in South Asia, Southeast Asia and Australia. Typhonium is well-known for its ethnopharmacological uses, and Southeast Asians consider it as an alternative medicine to treat cancer. This review elucidated the confirmed chemical structures of the isolated compounds of Typhonium and emphasized on their anticancer activities against various human cancer cells.

Isolation and characterization of ethanol tolerant yeast strains.

Yeast strains are commonly associated with sugar rich environments. Various fruit samples were selected as source for isolating yeast cells. The isolated cultures were identified at Genus level by colony morphology, biochemical characteristics and cell morphological characters.
