The study aimed to evaluate the extent of hydrolysis on the functional properties of fish protein hydrolysates from fish wastes. Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) was prepared from the visceral waste of Rohu () using Alcalase. Independent variables of the hydrolysis conditions, namely, time, temperature and enzyme-substrate ratio were optimized through response surface methodology using a completely randomized factorial design. Functional properties of FPH, such as antioxidant activity, metal chelating activity, emulsifying and foaming capacity were studied. Pre-heating of the raw viscera resulted 83% reduction of lipid content in the FPH. The DH was found to be significantly influenced by the hydrolysis conditions studied. The gel electrophoretic study showed that FPH contained peptides in the range of < 10-25 kDa. Optimum degree of hydrolysis (DH) was obtained as 34.7% at 87.5 min, 48.64 °C and enzyme concentration of 0.99%. The results demonstrated that the antioxidant and metal chelating properties of FPH increased with the increase of DH. The surface active properties like emulsifying and foaming capacity were found to be decreased with the increased levels of hydrolysis. These results suggest that hydrolysates from visceral waste of Rohu could find potential use as supplement in animal feed.

Auxiliary metabolic genes encoded by bacteriophages can influence host metabolic function during infection. In temperate phages, auxiliary metabolic genes may increase host fitness when integrated as prophages into the host genome. However, little is known about the contribution of prophage-encoded auxiliary metabolic genes to host metabolic properties.

Alternatives to nonbiodegradable synthetic plastics for food packaging include films made from biopolymers that are nontoxic and environment-friendly. In this study, carnauba wax (CW) and nitrogen-doped graphene quantum dots (NG) as functional additives were utilized in the production of pectin/gelatin (PG) film. NG was synthesized through the microwave method, using acetic acid as the carbon source, giving size, and zeta potential of 1.

formerly with the Health Analysis Division, Statistics Canada.
Background: Statistics Canada routinely collects information on functional health and related concepts. Recently, the Washington Group on Disability Statistics (WG) measure of disability has been introduced to the Canadian Community Health Survey (CCHS). The WG measure is used as a tool for developing internationally comparable data on disability.

In this report the photophysical property of newly synthesized fluorescein based derivative 2-(5-((2,4-dichlorophenyl)diazenyl)-6-hydroxy-3-oxo-3H-xanthen-9-yl)benzoic acid has studied by spectroscopic and theoretical that is by Density Functional Theory technique. The structural and functional group of the synthesized molecule was confirmed by nuclear magnetic resonance and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy technique, and from the result so far obtained has been confirmed that molecule has a stable structure and confirmed the presence the functional groups present in the sample. The optical properties of the molecule are studied using the spectroscopic technique and it has revealed the solute-solvent interaction behaviour of the molecule and it has been observed that the bathochromic shift was of about 5 nm, from the fluorescence measurement it has revealed that the emission has been observed at green region and from the power spectra it has been confirmed the same.

Scientific reports from various areas of the world indicate the potential role of tocopherols (vitamin E) in particular α-tocopherol in the prevention and therapy of Alzheimer's disease. The current phenomenon is related to the growing global awareness of eating habits and is also determined by the need to develop the prevention, management and therapy of Alzheimer's disease. This article is a review of current research on the action of the active form of vitamin E-α-tocopherol and its impact on the development and course of Alzheimer's disease.
