The role of duel hydrolysis of soybean on functional properties and protein digestibility: a sustainable approach.

Background: Protein hydrolysates derived from food sources contains enormous number of peptides which are composed of amino acid possessess various bioactive properties. However, the use of protein hydrolysates as a nutraceutical is hindered due to their unpleasant flavour. The study aims to enhance the biological activity and palatability of protein hydrolysates.

Effect of UV-C irradiation on the inactivation kinetics of oxidative enzymes, essential amino acids and sensory properties of coconut water.

The impact of ultraviolet light (UV-C) irradiation on oxidative enzymes [Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) and Peroxidase (POD)], free essential amino acids and sensory profile of coconut water were investigated. PPO and POD activities were lost to 94 and 93%, respectively of its original value at fluence level of 400 mJ/cm. Inactivation kinetics of both enzymes were fitted to nonlinear Weibull model with an increase in UV dosage with a high coefficient of determination (R > 0.

Evaluation of Various Drying Methods on Bioactives, Ascorbic Acid and Antioxidant Potentials of Talinum triangulare L., foliage.

The aim of this study was to assess the efficiency of different drying methods (room, sun, oven, microwave, cross-flow, infra-red, dehumidifier, and freeze-drying) on maximum retention of the nutritional and bioactive compounds profiling of Talinum triangulare, which is a less-known perishable leafy-vegetable. The evaluation of various drying methods is to learn the best appropriate strategy for a post-harvest drying method for retaining all the potential benefits with minor loss. Microwave and freeze-dried samples held the maximum ascorbic acid quantified by HPLC with 1.

Microbial inactivation and cytotoxicity evaluation of UV irradiated coconut water in a novel continuous flow spiral reactor.

Unlabelled: A continuous-flow UV reactor operating at 254nm wave-length was used to investigate inactivation of microorganisms including bacteriophage in coconut water, a highly opaque liquid food. UV-C inactivation kinetics of two surrogate viruses (MS2, T1UV) and three bacteria (E. coli ATCC 25922, Salmonella Typhimurium ATCC 13311, Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19115) in buffer and coconut water were investigated (D values ranging from 2.

Characterization of silver nanoparticles synthesized by using marine isolate Streptomyces albidoflavus.

Silver nanoparticles production by the green chemistry approach was investigated using an isolated marine actinomycetes strain. The isolated strain was identified as Streptomyces albidoflavus based on chemotaxonomic and ribotyping properties. The strain revealed production of silver nanoparticles both extracellular and intracellularly.
