Lignocellulosic biomasses have a very important role as a raw material to produce biofuels and biochemicals. However, a sustainable, efficient, and economically competitive process for the release of sugars from such materials has still not been achieved. In this work, the optimization of the enzymatic hydrolysis cocktail was evaluated as an approach to maximize sugar extraction from mildly pretreated sugarcane bagasse. Different additives and enzymes, including hydrogen peroxide (HO), laccase, hemicellulase and the surfactants Tween 80 and PEG4000 were added to a cellulolytic cocktail with the aim of improving biomass hydrolysis. An increase of 39 % and 46 % of glucose and xylose concentrations, respectively, compared to the control (when only the cellulolytic cocktail (20 or 35 FPU g dry mass), was obtained when HO (0.24 mM) was added at the beginning of the hydrolysis. On the other hand, the addition of hemicellulase (81-162 μL g DM) increased the production of glucose up to 38 % and xylose up to 50 %. The findings of this study reveal that it is possible to increase the extraction of sugars from mildly pretreated lignocellulosic biomass by using an appropriate enzymatic cocktail supplemented with additives. This opens up new opportunities for the development of a more sustainable, efficient, and economically competitive process for biomass fractionation.

Phosphodiesterase 2 A (PDE2A) function is stimulated by cGMP to catabolize cAMP. However, neurological and neurochemical effects of PDE2A deficiency are poorly understood. To address this gap, we studied behavioral characteristics and cerebral morpho-chemical changes of adult male heterozygous C57BL/6-PDE2A+/- (HET), and wild type C57BL/6-PDE2A+/+ (WT) mice.

Lipid hydrolysis and oxidation properties, lipid metabolites, and volatile flavors were investigated to elucidate the wet-aging process (1 h to 10 d) on lipid molecule transformation and volatile flavor evolution in pork. Phospholipase A (PLA) activity increased at 12 h, with lipoxygenase (LOX) increasing from 1 h to 7 d (P < 0.05).

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) exhibit broad-spectrum antibacterial activity and serve as effective antimicrobial agents against antibiotic-resistant bacteria. In this study, agricultural waste corn straw was used as the raw material to obtain cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) through enzymatic hydrolysis. The hydrolysate was employed as reducing agents to synthesize CNC-AgNPs.

In this study, the effects of ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis on the production of antioxidant and antiosteoporotic peptides derived from oysters were investigated. Results showed that ultrasound-assisted enzymatic hydrolysis significantly enhanced the peptide content, free radical scavenging ability, and ferric reducing antioxidant power of total oyster protein hydrolysate (TOPH), with optimal results achieved at 200 W (TOPH-200). Correspondingly, ultrasound treatment at 200 W increased the exposure of hydrophobic regions, reduced α-helix content, and facilitated the generation of small molecular weight peptides in TOPH.
