Differentiation and quantification of bovine and pork gelatin using UPLC-QTOF and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy: Addressing challenges in mixed gelatin analysis and detection.

The amino acid sequence dictates protein folding and spatial structure, essential for understanding their behavior. Gelatin, important in industry and biomedicine, demands accurate source authentication due to ethical and dietary concerns. This study explores differentiating and quantifying bovine and pork gelatin using UPLC-QTOF and ATR-FTIR spectroscopy.

Use of 4-D proteomics to differentiate between bovine and camel lactoferrin.

Lactoferrin is a multifunctional protein that has various biological activities and applications. However, different sources of lactoferrin may have different properties and characteristics. In this study, we hypothesized that ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectroscopy (UPLC-QTOF-IMS) coupled with UNIFI software can differentiate bovine lactoferrin from camel lactoferrin based on the unique peptides produced by trypsin digestion.

Polyphenol-Rich Date Palm Fruit Seed ( L.) Extract Inhibits Labile Iron, Enzyme, and Cancer Cell Activities, and DNA and Protein Damage.

Date palm fruit seed ( L.) extract (DSE), an under-utilized resource, is a rich source of polyphenols with high potency for disease prevention and antioxidative activities. For the first time, the present study demonstrated that DSE inhibits labile iron activity and DNA and BSA damage and inhibits acetylcholinesterase and tyrosinase activities.

Physicochemical and biochemical properties of honeys from arid regions.

This study was conducted to evaluate the quality of 11 honeys from arid regions for first time, and compare it with 5 different honeys from non-arid regions. Mean values obtained for physicochemical parameters were: pH 4.76 ± 0.
