This study explores the impact of multi-species co-fermentation on the thermal properties of wheat starch, emphasizing the innovative use of fish collagen as an additive. The effects of adding different levels of fish collagen (0 %, 3 %, 6 %, 9 %, 12 %, and 15 %) on the thermal properties of starch were investigated during co-fermentation with Lactobacillus plantarum and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Utilizing analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), we observed a significant increase in the degree of order from 1.32 to 1.55 and a notable decrease in double helix formation from 1.51 to 0.80 (p < 0.05). The introduction of collagen induced the aggregation of B-starch granules, forming aggregates approximately 16 μm in diameter. Meanwhile, collagen addition shifted the peak thermal impact by +0.91 °C and elevated the maximum mass loss rate temperature from 309.33 °C to 317.09 °C (p < 0.05). Furthermore, a decrease in peak viscosity from 4321 cp to 3123 cp and final viscosity from 4143 cp to 3171 cp (p < 0.05), along with a 3 °C increase in pasting temperature. The results suggest that fish collagen is a potential quality improver for traditional fermented starch-based foods.

Perfluorinated compounds (PFAS) are well recognized toxic pollutants for humans, but if their effect is equally harmful for healthy and fragile people is unknown. Addressing this question represents a need for ensuring global health and wellbeing to all individuals in a world facing the progressive increase of aging and aging related diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of perfluorooctane sulfonate (PFOS), perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorohexanoic acid (PFHxA) exposure on development and skeletal phenotype using the osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) zebrafish model Chihuahua (Chi/+), carrying a dominant glycine substitution in the α1 chain of collagen I and their wild-type (WT) littermates.

In the quest for an ideal wound healing material, human amniotic membrane (AM), tilapia skin collagen (TSC), and Centella asiatica (CA) have been studied separately for their healing potential. In this study, we formulated AM, TSC, and CA gel and studied their competency and wound healing efficacy in vivo. Gel was formulated using AM, TSC, CA, Carbopol 934, acrylic acid, glycerine, and triethanolamine and physicochemical properties e.

An digestion model was established to characterize the types of collagens in skin of cod, white fish, and salmon as well as their collagen-containing skin-derived protein hydrolysates (CSPH) before and after digestion. Moreover, the mineral content and their bioaccessibility were evaluated. Finally, the presence of heavy metals was evaluated to assess the safety of these products.

This study investigated the progressive structural changes of fish gelatin in thermally reversible (TR) and irreversible (TI) states, formed through microbial transglutaminase (MTGase) cross-linking during in vitro gastric digestion. The focus was on dynamic structural changes and gastric digestion characteristics. Free amino content and SDS-PAGE analyses showed that both TR and TI groups were hydrolyzed into smaller fragments by pepsin during digestion.
