This study was dedicated to increasing the efficiency of producing plant-based protein hydrolysate using traditional and non-traditional treatments. Low- and high frequency ultrasound (US) at different intensities were applied to corn steep liquor (CSL) at 50 °C for 30 min, and enzymatic hydrolysis was performed using industrially produced alkaline protease. The efficiency of US and enzymatic treatments was characterized by protein solubility (soluble protein (SP) content, hydrolyzed protein (HP) concentration, and free amino acid (FAA) profile) and kinetic parameters: Michaelis–Menten constant (KM) and apparent breakdown rate constant (kA). A significant effect of 37 kHz US pre-treatment for CSL enzymatic hydrolysis was found and resulted in the highest HP concentration (17.5 g/L) using the lowest enzyme concentration (2.1 g/L) and the shortest hydrolysis time (60 min). By using US pre-treatment, on average, a 2.2 times higher FAA content could be achieved compared to traditional hydrolysis. Additionally, results for the kinetic parameters KM and kA confirmed the potential of applying US treatment before hydrolysis. The effect of CSL protein hydrolysate on plant growth was tested in vivo on wheat grain seed germination and resulted in the significant increase in germination parameters compared to the control treatment. These findings indicate that by-products of starch industry could be a promising source for the production of low-cost sustainable biostimulants.

This study was aimed to optimise the Alcalase® enzymatic hydrolysis extraction of Asiatic hard clam (AHC) (Meretrix meretrix) protein hydrolysate in terms of hydrolysis time, hydrolysis temperature, hydrolysis pH, and concentration of enzyme. Protein hydrolysate produced from AHC (M. meretrix) meat was used to determine the optimum hydrolysis conditions. Hydrolysis of AHC meat was optimised using the Central Composite Design Response Surface Methodology (RSM) (CCD). The relationship between four parameters such as temperature (45 – 65°C), enzyme to substrate concentration (1 – 2%), hydrolysis time (60 – 180 mins), and pH (7.5 – 9.5) to the degree of hydrolysis was investigated. The optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis of AHC meat to achieve the maximum degree of hydrolysis (DH) were observed at 65°C, enzyme to substrate concentration of 1%, hydrolysis time of 60 mins, and pH 7.5. The enzymatic protein hydrolysis of AHC meat was predicted using a two factors interaction (2FI) model. Under these optimum conditions, DH's predicted value was 97.41%, which was close to the experimental value (97.89%). The freeze-dried protein hydrolysate powder was characterized concerning the proximate composition. Proximate analysis revealed that the AHC meat contains 7.92±1.76% of moisture, 2.23±0.89% of crude fat, 1.98±0.82 of ash, and 10.53±0.04% of crude protein. While the Asiatic hard clam protein hydrolysate (AHCPH) composed 9.12±0.02% of moisture, 0.80±0.29% of crude fat, and 27.76±0.10% of ash. The protein hydrolysate produced also contained high protein content (50.09±0.88%) and may serve as a good protein source.

The objective of this study was to evaluate soluble protein content of protein hydrolysates obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of apple snail using a trypsin enzyme. Apple snail were collected from traditional market at Pabean-Sidoarjo. Trypsin enzyme was used in enzymatic hydrolysis. The two variables, enzyme/substrate (E/S) ( 0.01, 0.05, 0.1) ratio and hydrolysis time (3 h, 6 h, 9 h, 12 h, 15 h, 18 h) and was used to produce the apple snail hydrolysate. The result showed that soluble protein content was about 2.3%-4.52%. The increase E/S ratio and hydrolysis time, the higher soluble protein content values was. The highest total soluble protein was achieved E/S 0.1 ratio at 12 h, 4.52%. But, after 12 h hydrolysis time, soluble protein was decreased. Optimum treatment to hydrolyzing apple snail using trypsin enzyme was E3H4 treated (E/S 0.1 ratio and 3 h)

AbstractTo enhance the reducing sugar yield in enzymatic hydrolysis, various factors (NaOH concentration, solid content and pre-treatment time) that affect the pre-treatment process were investigated and evaluated based on the reducing sugar yield of the subsequent enzymatic hydrolysis. The enzymatic hydrolysis was based on the cellulase from Trichoderma reesi ATCC 26921, the optimum NaOH pre-treatment conditions were an NaOH concentration of 1.0% (w/w), a solid content of 5.0% (w/v) and a pre-treatment time of 60 min. Various parameters that affect the enzymatic hydrolysis of wheat straw, including the solid content, enzyme loading, pH and hydrolysis time, were investigated and optimized through a Box–Behnken design and response surface methodology. The predicted optimum conditions for enzymatic hydrolysis were a solid content of 8.0% (w/v), an enzyme loading of 35 FPU/g substrate, a temperature of 50 °C, a pH of 5.3 and a hydrolysis time of 96 h. The experimental result showed that the maximum reducing sugar yield was 60.73% (53.35% higher than the wheat straw without NaOH pre-treatment), which is in accordance with the predicted conditions.

Ulva lactuca is one of green macro-algae that has a significant cellulose content. This study aims to determine the effect of variations in substrate-enzyme ratio and hydrolysis time on the enzymatic hydrolysis process of cellulose extracted from Ulva lactuca to produce fermentable sugar or reducing sugar as a raw material for making bioethanol. Firstly, Liquid Hot Water (LHW) pre-treatment process was performed at the temperature of 135°C for 20 minutes; the purpose of this pre-treatment was to reduce the content of hemicellulose and to increase the cellulose content. Secondly, enzymatic hydrolysis process using cellulase enzyme was carried out, in this process citrate buffer was needed in order to stabilize the pH level during hydrolysis process. The process variables were ratio of substrate-enzyme (1:0.05; 1:0.1; 1:1.5; 1:2 and 1:2.5 w/w) and hydrolysis time (24, 48 and 72 hours) under temperature of 45°C and pH level of 5.5. The results shows that the highest reducing sugar yield is 79.7% obtained at a ratio of substrate-enzyme of 1:2.5 (w/w) for 48 hours of hydrolysis time, with the result of reducing sugar concentration is 16.2043 mg/mL.

The beneficial properties of overripe tempeh as a functional ingredient protein isolate are overlooked by most food manufacturers. The present study aims to optimise the enzymatic hydrolysis conditions to obtain tempeh protein hydrolysate (PH) that can be used as potential functional foods. The enzymatic hydrolysis (using Flavourzyme) conditions, namely, temperature (°C), enzyme to substrate concentration (%) and hydrolysis time (min) on both total flavonoid content (TFC) and glutamic acid content (GAC), as responses, were optimised using response surface methodology (RSM) by employing three factors, 3-level, and central composite rotatable design (CCRD). Enzyme inactivation was successfully performed by keeping the hydrolysate at 85°C in a water bath for 10 min. Based on the results, the optimum conditions for the hydrolysis of 6.0 g of soy protein isolate (SPI) from soybean tempeh were at temperature 55°C with 2.6% enzyme to substrate concentration heated for 128 min which resulted in 8.93 g QE/100 g DEW of TFC and 12.96 g/100 g DEW of GAC. The results also showed that TFC and GAC were significantly influenced by all the factors studied. Therefore, the results suggested that soybean by-product such as overripe tempeh can be converted into hydrolysate which is a good source of protein fortification of various food products as well as a potential functional food ingredient.

Dopaminergic Regulation

Abstract. In order to examine regulation of pituitary intermediate lobe secretion, plasma immunoreactive (i)ACTH, cortisol, and α-MSH responses to iv bolus injections of CRF, quipazine maleate (serotonin agonist), isoproterenol (β-adrenergic agonist) or haloperidol (dopamine antagonist) were determined in conscious, unrestrained dogs. Endocrine responses to these test substances were also determined in dogs pre-treated with dexamethasone. Administration of one or more doses of each test substance resulted in significant elevations in plasma iACTH and cortisol concentrations. Only haloperidol injection caused significant increases in plasma iα-MSH. Following dexamethasone pre-treatment, plasma iACTH and cortisol increases in response to all test substances were considerably reduced or abolished. Dexamethasone did not alter baseline or haloperidol-stimulated plasma ia-MSH concentrations. However, infusion of bromocriptine mesylate (dopamine agonist) in combination with dexamethasone pre-treatment reduced the plasma iα-MSH response to haloperidol. We conclude that a dopaminergic pathway is important in the in vivo regulation of pituitary intermediate lobe activity in dogs.

Historically Triticum aestívum L. and Secale cereále L. are widely used in the production of bakery products. From the total volume of grain cultivated, roughly 85% is used for the manufacturing of flour, while the remaining part is discarded or utilized rather inefficiently. The limited value attached to bran is associated with their structural complexity, i.e., the presence of cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, which makes this material suitable mostly as a feed supplement, while in food production its use presents a challenge. To valorize these materials to food and pharmaceutical applications, additional pre-treatment is required. In the present study, an effective, sustainable, and eco-friendly approach to ferulic acid (FA) production was demonstrated through the biorefining process accomplished by non-starch polysaccharides degrading enzymes. Up to 11.3 and 8.6 g kg−1 of FA was released from rye and wheat bran upon 24 h enzymatic hydrolysis with multi-enzyme complex Viscozyme® L, respectively.

Abstract Background The current first-line treatments for uncomplicated malaria recommended by the National Malaria Control Programme in Mali are artemether–lumefantrine (AL) and artesunate–amodiaquine (ASAQ). From 2015 to 2016, an in vivo study was carried out to assess the clinical and parasitological responses to AL and ASAQ in Sélingué, Mali. Methods Children between 6 and 59 months of age with uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum infection and 2000–200,000 asexual parasites/μL of blood were enrolled, randomly assigned to either AL or ASAQ, and followed up for 42 days. Uncorrected and PCR-corrected efficacy results at days 28 and 42. were calculated. Known markers of resistance in the Pfk13, Pfmdr1, and Pfcrt genes were assessed using Sanger sequencing. Results A total of 449 patients were enrolled: 225 in the AL group and 224 in the ASAQ group. Uncorrected efficacy at day 28 was 83.4% (95% CI 78.5–88.4%) in the AL arm and 93.1% (95% CI 89.7–96.5%) in the ASAQ arm. The per protocol PCR-corrected efficacy at day 28 was 91.0% (86.0–95.9%) in the AL arm and 97.1% (93.6–100%) in the ASAQ arm. ASAQ was significantly (p < 0.05) better than AL for each of the aforementioned efficacy outcomes. No mutations associated with artemisinin resistance were identified in the Pfk13 gene. Overall, for Pfmdr1, the N86 allele and the NFD haplotype were the most common. The NFD haplotype was significantly more prevalent in the post-treatment than in the pre-treatment isolates in the AL arm (p < 0.01) but not in the ASAQ arm. For Pfcrt, the CVIET haplotype was the most common. Conclusions The findings indicate that both AL and ASAQ remain effective for the treatment of uncomplicated malaria in Sélingué, Mali.

Initial Clearance

The role of the insulin receptor in mediating tissue-specific insulin clearance in vivo has not been reported. Using physiologic insulin doses, we measured the initial clearance rate (first 5 min) of intravenously injected ([125I]TyrA14)-insulin by muscle, liver, and kidney in healthy rats in the presence and absence of the insulin receptor blocker S961. We also tested whether 4 weeks of high-fat diet (HFD) affected the initial rate of insulin clearance. Pre-treatment with S961 for 60 min prior to administering labeled insulin raised plasma ([125I]TyrA14)insulin concentration approximately 5-fold (p < 0.001), demonstrating receptor dependency for plasma insulin clearance. Uptake by muscle (p < 0.01), liver (p < 0.05), and kidney (p < 0.001) were each inhibited by receptor blockade, undoubtedly contributing to the reduced plasma clearance. The initial plasma insulin clearance was not significantly affected by HFD, nor was muscle-specific clearance. However, HFD modestly decreased liver clearance (p = 0.056) while increasing renal clearance by >50% (p < 0.01), suggesting a significant role for renal insulin clearance in limiting the hyperinsulinemia that accompanies HFD. We conclude that the insulin receptor is a major mediator of initial insulin clearance from plasma and for its clearance by liver, kidney, and muscle. HFD feeding increases renal insulin clearance to limit systemic hyperinsulinemia.
