Synthesis of octenyl succinic anhydride-modified levan and investigation of its microstructural, physicochemical, and emulsifying properties
(Elsevier, 2023)
In this study, levan from Bacillus licheniformis NS032 was modified in an aqueous medium by octenyl succinic
anhydride (OSA), and the properties of the obtained derivatives were studied. The maximum efficiency in ...
Removal of trivalent chromium from aqueous solutions by natural clays: Valorization of saturated adsorbents as raw materials in ceramic manufacturing
(Elsevier, 2023)
Kaolinite/illite (KUb) and sepiolite (SEP) clays were used to study Cr(III) adsorption removal from aqueous solutions so that they could be utilized after saturation for ceramic manufacturing. SEP had a larger specific ...
Highly stable and versatile α-amylase from Anoxybacillus vranjensis ST4 suitable for various applications
(Elsevier, 2023)
α-Amylase from the thermophilic bacterial strain Anoxybacillus vranjensis ST4 (AVA) was cloned into the pMALc5HisEk expression vector and successfully expressed and purified from the Escherichia coli ER2523 host strain. ...
Novel eco-friendly initiation system based on vitamin C for energy efficient synthesis of PMAA hydrogel used for delivery of phenolic compounds
(Elsevier B.V., 2023)
This study reports successful free radical synthesis of pH-sensitive hydrogels based on poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) by using new green initiation system based on vitamin C and hydrogen peroxide (VC/H2O2). The application ...
Aspergillus welwitschiae inulinase enzyme cocktails obtained on agro-material inducers for the purpose of fructooligosaccharides production
(Elsevier, 2022)
Production of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) is a trending topic due to their prebiotic effect becoming increasingly important for the modern human diet. The most suitable process for FOS production is the one using fungal ...
Characterization of the starch surface binding site on Bacillus paralicheniformis α-amylase
(Elsevier, 2020)
α-Amylase from Bacillus paralicheniformis (BliAmy), belonging to GH13_5 subfamily of glycoside hydrolases, was proven to be a highly efficient raw starch digesting enzyme. The ability of some α-amylases to hydrolyze raw ...
Synthesis, characterization and in vitro evaluation of divalent ion release from stable NiFe2O4, ZnFe2O4 and core-shell ZnFe2O4@NiFe2O4 nanoparticles
(Elsevier, 2020)
A simple organic-phase synthesis process was used to produce bare NiFe2O4 and ZnFe2O4 and core-shell ZnFe2O4@NiFe2O4 ferrite nanoparticles. X-ray powder diffractograms for all investigated powders show characteristic peaks ...
Exploring and strengthening the potential of R-phycocyanin from Nori flakes as a food colourant
(Elsevier Ltd., 2023)
This study aimed to purify, characterise and stabilise the natural food colourant, R-phycocyanin (R-PC), from the red algae Porphyra spp. (Nori). We purified R-PC from dried Nori flakes with a high purity ratio (A618/A280 ...
Chemical Composition, Antioxidant Potential, and Nutritional Evaluation of Cultivated Sorghum Grains: A Combined Experimental, Theoretical, and Multivariate Analysis
(MDPI, 2023)
Sorghum grain (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench) is a gluten-free cereal with excellent nutritional value and is a good source of antioxidants, including polyphenols, as well as minerals with proven health benefits. Herein, the ...
Stabilization of apo α-lactalbumin by binding of epigallocatechin-3-gallate: Experimental and molecular dynamics study
(Elsevier, 2019)
α-Lactalbumin (ALA) is a Ca2+-binding protein which constitutes up to 20% of whey protein. At acidic pH, and in the apo-state at elevated temperatures, ALA is the classic 'molten globule' (MG). This study examined ...
