Squid pens were subjected to alkali hydrolysis to extract chitin and chitosan. Proteins present in the alkaline extraction wastewater were recovered at pH 3, 4, 5 and 6, and were subjected to hydrolysis by trypsin, pepsin and a bacterial protease called HT for 1, 2, 4 and 24h. Hydrolysis of the extracted proteins with either trypsin or HT generated more antioxidant activity than hydrolysis with pepsin. Higher ACE-inhibitory activity was generated in the trypsin and pepsin hydrolysates than in the HT hydrolysate. Squid pen protein recovered from chitosan processing waste alkaline solution can be a potential source of bioactive peptides for addition to foods. The antioxidant and ACE-inhibitory activities of the extracted proteins were initially low and increased upon incubation with the proteases. Pepsin generated significantly lower (P<0.05) antioxidant activities compared to trypsin and HT, while trypsin and pepsin hydrolysates exhibited higher ACE-inhibitory activity than HT (P<0.05).

The controlled integration of magnetic molecules into superconducting circuits is key to developing hybrid quantum devices. Herein, we study [Dy2] molecular dimers deposited into micro-SQUID susceptometers. The results of magnetic, heat capacity and magnetic resonance experiments, backed by theoretical calculations, show that each [Dy2] dimer fulfills the main requisites to encode a two-spin quantum processor.

First, we explore the effect of bioacids on the film processing of preprocessed, i.e., deacetylated, chitosan (d-chitosan with molecular weight of 1,000,000 kDa), using monocarboxylic acid (acetic acid), dicarboxylic acid (malic acid), and tricarboxylic acid (citric acid) as model weak acidic solvents to destabilize the hydrogen bonding and transform crystal structures into film.

APS is a cheap and eco-friendly oxidant which enables one-step extraction of nanochitin (NCh) from fishery wastes. However, it is challenging to improve the preparation efficiency and NCh quality simultaneously, owing to the uneven or uncontrollable oxidation. Herein, we propose a simple and controllable way to isolate chitin nanofibers (ChNFs) from squid pen by gradient heating activated (GHA)- ammonium persulfate (APS) oxidation.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on extracting β-chitin from the squid species Uroteuthis edulis found in East Asian coastal regions.
- Cryogenic mechanical grinding (cryomilling) is used as a pre-treatment process, improving the pulverization of squid pens for better protein removal and yielding high-purity β-chitin.
- The extracted β-chitin demonstrates strong optical and mechanical properties, allowing the creation of a free-standing film.
