Abstract: The objective of this work was to enzymatically obtain hydrolysate tilapia protein powder by two drying methods, and to perform a physicochemical characterization of the final products, as well as to evaluate their thermal stability. Proximal composition, aminogram, fatty acid profile, pH, color, water activity, and microbiological analyses were performed. Crude protein was the prominent component, with 87% in the spray-dried powder and 89% in the lyophilized powder, showing no statistical difference. The samples showed no bacterial growth, which may be associated with the low water activity in the products. Dry samples had b* positive, and the freeze-dried ones were more yellowish than the spray-dried ones. Both drying methods promoted similar luminosity near the white color. In the thermal analysis, samples showed 26% mass loss at 200°C, and degradation started at 290°C. Enzymatic hydrolysis is efficient, and the hydrolysate tilapia protein powder contains all essential amino acids. The hydrolysate shows similar protein content for both spray-dried and freeze-dried samples, and the final products are stable at high temperatures.

In this work, poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and chitosan (CS) nanoparticles were synthesized with the purpose of encapsulating levofloxacin (LEV). A thorough study has been carried out in order to optimize the preparation of LEV-loaded polymeric nanoparticles (NPs) suitable for parenteral administration. Changes in the preparation method, in the organic solvent nature, in the pH of the aqueous phase, or in the temperature were investigated. To the authors´ knowledge, a systematic study in order to improve the LEV nanocarrier characteristics and the yield of drug encapsulation has not been carried out to date. The physicochemical characterization of the NPs, their encapsulation efficiency (EE), and the in vitro release of LEV revealed that the best formulation was the emulsion-solvent evaporation method using dichloromethane as organic solvent, which renders suitable LEV loaded PLGA NPs. The morphology of these NPs was investigated using TEM. Their antimicrobial activities against several microorganisms were determined in vitro measuring the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC). The results show that the use of these loaded LEV PLGA nanoparticles has the advantage of the slow release of the antibiotic, which would permit an increase in the time period between administrations as well as to decrease the side effects of the drug.
