Solid state fermentation to obtain vegetable products bio-enriched with isoflavone aglycones using lactic cultures

Rev. argent. microbiol; 51 (3), 2019
The consumption of soybean isoflavones (IS) is associated with several beneficial properties on human health. Some lactic acid bacteria possess ß-glucosidase enzyme, that allows to obtain the active form of IS (aglycone). The solid state fermentation (SSF) has received great attention in the last years ...

Assessment of wasteland derived biomass for bioethanol production

Background: The bioethanol produced from biomass is a promising alternative fuel. The lignocellulose from marginal areas or wasteland could be a promising raw material for bioethanol production because it is present in large quantities, is cheap, renewable and has favorable environmental properties. Desp...

Improvement of ethanol production from birch and spruce pretreated with 1-H-3-methylmorpholinium chloride

Background: Pretreatment is the critically important step for the production of ethanol from lignocelluloses. In this study, hardwood birch (Betula pendula) and softwood spruce (Norway spruce) woods were pretreated with a newly synthesized morpholinium ionic liquid, 1-H-3-methylmorpholinium chloride ([HM...

Modeling of lactose enzymatic hydrolysis using Monte Carlo method

Background: Mathematical modeling is useful in the analysis, prediction, and optimization of an enzymatic process. Unlike the conventional modeling methods, Monte Carlo method has special advantages in providing representations of the molecule’s spatial distribution. However, thus far, Monte Carlo mode...

Bioprospection of proteases from Halobacillus andaensis for bioactive peptide production from fish muscle protein

BACKGROUND: Biologically active peptides produced from fish wastes are gaining attention because their health benefits. Proteases produced by halophilic microorganisms are considered as a source of active enzymes in high salt systems like fish residues. Hence, the aim of this study was the bioprospection...

Enzymatic purification of glucomannan from Amorphophallus oncophyllus using α-Amylase

Biosci. j. (Online); 35 (1), 2019
The international standards for top glucomannan flour require a minimum of 70% glucomannan. The glucomannan content of Amorphophallus oncophyllus flour was approximately 60%, with starch as the major impurity. Elimination of starch was expected to increase the purity of...

Bioethanol from Microalgal Biomass: A Promising Approach in Biorefinery

Abstract The development of new technologies which increase the production of biofuel without directly compete with food production is required. Microalgal biomass has recently been in the highlight. The role of this biomass is here discussed within the concept of biorefinery and industrial sustainabilit...

Efecto de la adición de lactasa y sacarosa en una bebida isotónica utilizando lactosuero

Rev. chil. nutr; 45 (4), 2018
RESUMEN Se evaluó el efecto de adición de lactasa (β-galactosidasa) y sacarosa (como edulcorante) en una bebida isotónica a partir del lactosuero dulce. Se estableció dos factores en estudio: factor "A" dosis de lactasa 5200 NLU (0,5; 1,1 y 3,0 mL) y factor "B" porcentajes de sacarosa (7 y 8%). ...

Multi-enzyme complex of white rot fungi in saccharification of lignocellulosic material

Braz. j. microbiol; 49 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT The multi-enzyme complex (crude extract) of white rot fungi Pleurotus ostreatus, Pleurotus eryngii, Trametes versicolor, Pycnosporus sanguineus and Phanerochaete chrysosporium were characterized, evaluated in the hydrolysis of pretreated pulps of sorghum straw and compared efficiency with commer...

Aceptación de fórmulas extensamente hidrolizadas en el tratamiento de la alergia a la proteína de leche de vaca

Diaeta (B. Aires); 36 (165), 2018
Introducción: la sintomatología de la alergia a la proteína de leche de vaca conlleva deterioro en el crecimiento y aumento concomitante de las necesidades nutricionales. En niños que consumen fórmula como complemento a la lactancia materna o cuando ésta no es posible, debe indicarse como primera o...
