Red grape pomace, a wine-making by-product is rich in anthocyanins and has many applications in food and pharmaceutical industry. However, anthocyanins are unstable during processing and storage. This study aimed to investigate the stability of anthocyanins obtained by hydroalcoholic extraction (with and without sorbic acid) and colloidal gas aphrons (CGA) separation; a surfactant (TWEEN20) based separation. Anthocyanins in CGA samples showed higher stability (half-life = 55 d) than in the crude extract (half-life = 43 d) and their stability increased with the concentration of TWEEN20 in the CGA fraction (6.07-8.58 mM). The anthocyanins loss in the CGA sample (with the maximum content of surfactant, 8.58 mM) was 34.90%, comparable to that in the crude ethanolic extract with sorbic acid (EE-SA) (31.53%) and lower than in the crude extract (44%). Colour stabilisation was also observed which correlated well with the stability of individual anthocyanins in the EE and CGA samples. Malvidin-3-o-glucoside was the most stable anthocyanin over time.

Recycling of protein-rich environmental wastes and obtaining more valuable products from these recycled products is a topic of interest for researchers. This study aims to produce, purify, and characterize the physicochemical and structural properties of the protease enzyme produced from Brevibacillus agri SAR25 using salmon fish waste as substrate and also to evaluate the effect of protease on the chicken feather, enzyme-ligand interactions, and active site surface area. The production of protease was optimum on 50 g/L fish waste, pH 8, 40 °C, 96 h, and 150 rpm.

Article Synopsis
- Nanoparticles, specifically polylactic acid nanoparticles (PLA-NPs), are highlighted for their biodegradable and biocompatible properties, making them a focus of recent research.
- The study explored how various factors, such as PLA concentration, surfactant levels (Tween-20), and ultrasonication time, influence the size and polydispersity index (PDI) of the PLA-NPs using a Response Surface Methodology (RSM).
- Results showed that while increasing PLA concentration generally led to larger particle sizes, higher levels of Tween-20 decreased particle size and significantly affected the PDI, with PDI stabilizing after certain ultrasonication durations.

Background: Nimodipine (ND) is a vasodilator drug that is used for acute subarachnoid hemorrhage. It has a predominant hydrophobic property, causing low solubility and low bioavailability. Spanlastics are elastic nanovesicular systems based on non-ionic surfactants and edge activators as major components.
