A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed for the determination of maleic acid which was released from starch maleate (SM) through the alkaline hydrolysis reaction. The proper alkaline hydrolysis conditions and LC separation are reported in this study. The starch samples were treated with 50% methanol for 30 minutes, and then hydrolyzed by 0.5N KOH for 2 hours to release maleic acid. A C18 column and gradient mobile phase consisting of 0.1% phosphoric acid and methanol at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/minute were used for separation. The method showed a good linearity in the range of 0.01-1.0 ìg/mL, with a limit of quantification (LOQ) at 10 mg/kg in starch. The recoveries in corn starch, noodle, and fish balls were between 93.9% and 108.4%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of precision was <4.9% (n = 3). This valid method was rapid, sensitive, precise, and suitable for routine monitoring of the illegal adulteration of SM in foods.

Walnut milk residues (WMR) were investigated for the first time through their phenolic characterization including soluble (free, esterified, and etherified) phenolics and those released from their insoluble-bound form (insoluble-bound phenolic hydrolysates, IBPHs) and their antioxidant properties. Free phenolics were recovered and alkaline or acid hydrolysis were used to recover the remaining phenolic fractions. Total phenolic compounds (TPCs) and their antioxidant activity were analyzed by Folin-Ciocalteu, FRAP, and ORAC methods, respectively.

This report is a pioneering bibliometric analysis of chia proteins as well as a review of the current/future themes of chia proteins. Reports were selected from the Scopus database, and networks of co-word occurrence, co-cited references, and the bibliographic coupling of documents were obtained. The health benefits and functional properties of chia proteins/peptides are current themes while the research of chia peptides is an emergent theme.

Protein hydrolysis under acidic conditions can improve the product quality, nutrient availability, and cost efficiency, particularly when neutral or alkaline enzymes are ineffective. Six fungal aspartic endopeptidases (FAPs) were recombinantly expressed as active enzymes in , with peak activity between 30-50 °C and pH 3.0-4.

Cellulose nanostructures obtained from lignocellulosic biomass via enzymatic processes may offer advantages in terms of material properties and processing sustainability. Thus, in this study, cellulose nanoparticles with a spherical morphology were produced through the enzymatic hydrolysis of cashew apple bagasse (CAB). CAB was previously subjected to alkaline and acid-alkali pretreatment, and the pretreated solids were labeled as CAB-PTA and CAB-PT-HA, respectively.

Primary sludge can serve as an internal carbon source for denitrification in wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). This study explores the use of alkaline treatment to produce a fermentation broth from primary sludge, which predominantly contains short-chain volatile fatty acids (VFAs), with acetic acid and propionic acid making up over 65% of the total VFAs. The performance of this fermentation broth as a sole carbon source for denitrification was compared with that of sodium acetate, acetic acid, methanol, and ethanol in both biofilm and activated sludge systems.
