In the last two decades, the consumption of plant-based dairy substitutes in place of animal-based milk has increased in different geographic regions of the world. Dairy substitutes of vegetable origin have a quantitative composition of macronutrients such as animal milk, although the composition of carbohydrates, proteins and fats, as well as bioactive components, is completely different from that of animal milk. Many milk components have been shown to have relevant effects on the intestinal microbiota.

- The study explored the benefits of probiotics and ACE inhibitors through whey fermentation using specific bacteria (GG, SY-102) and their co-culture.
- Researchers used various methods to analyze the proteolytic profile and ACE inhibition during fermentation, noting how differently the bacteria grew.
- Co-culture fermentation resulted in higher protein hydrolysis and ACE inhibition activity, reaching 53.42%, emphasizing the importance of developing effective co-culture products.
Article Synopsis
- Amaranth seeds are a nutritious cereal in Latin America, and this study aimed to identify bioactive peptides through enzymatic hydrolysis using alcalase and flavourzyme.
- The combined use of both enzymes in a continuous process produced hydrolysates with higher bioactive potential compared to single-enzyme processes.
- Two peptide fractions exhibited significant biological activity, acting as ACE and thrombin inhibitors, along with antioxidant properties, while sequence analysis revealed previously unreported bioactive amino acid chains.
We investigated the serum profiles of patients with ovarian neoplasm using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) to obtain serum "fingerprints" for use in identifying patients with these neoplasms. We used HPLC-HRMS to analyze serum samples from patients with ovarian neoplasms and control subjects. Serum samples from 145 patients were analyzed, including 85 with ovarian epithelial neoplasms.
