A marine ascidian-associated bacterium, RSK CAS9, was optimized for lipase production by response surface methodology using marine waste as substrate. The central composite design was employed, and the optimal medium constituents for maximum lipase production (1355.81 U/ml) were determined to be tuna powder (14.58 g/l), olive oil (5.05 ml/l); NaCl (72.42 g/l), temperature (45 °C) and pH 9.0. An alkaline lipase was purified to 8.46 fold with 1193.59 U mg specific activities with the molecular weight of 44 kDa. The activity was substantially inhibited by EDTA and PMSF, indicating that it was a metalloenzyme serine residue which was essential for catalytic activity. Thus, lipase production by microbial conversion of marine fish wastes in this study suggested its potential utilization for the production of high value products.

This study aimed to develop an efficient green ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) method for naringin (Nar) from Exocarpium Citri Grandis (ECG) using a glycerol-based ternary natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) and explore its biofunctional relevance. After screening and single-factor optimization, the optimal NADES was identified as glycerol:malic acid:propanedioic acid (1:1:2 M ratio, 30 % water content). Extraction conditions (liquid-solid ratio, temperature, time) were optimized via response surface methodology (RSM) and an artificial neural network-genetic algorithm (ANN-GA), with ANN-GA demonstrating superior predictive capability.

1,3-Dioleoyl-2-palmitoylglycerol (OPO) is crucial for infant nutrition; however, conventional immobilized lipase requires high-purity enzymes, which increases costs and limits industrial scalability. Herein, Rhizomucor miehei lipase (RML) was immobilized on surface-modified magnetic nanoparticles using cross-linked enzyme aggregates (CLEAs) technology to produce FeO@SiO@TPOAC@RML CLEAs. This approach combines the separation and immobilization of enzymes, allowing for the use of lower-purity lipase, which enhances its suitability for industrial-scale processes.

Barley is the main raw material for the production of malted beverages. However, it is an important source of food that is gaining attention due to its composition and numerous health benefits. Considering the emerging trend in the development of functional foods, this study used bibliometric analysis to assess the cumulative literature on the impact of drying, storage, and industrial processing (which are crucial for the development of functional foods) on the nutritional value of barley.

Polymer particles, including synthetic polymers such as poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) (P(S-co-DVB)) beads, have been widely used as enzymatic supports and drug carriers. In this sense, it is important to understand the stabilization or degradation of such polymer matrices under specific chemical and enzymatic media. For this reason, the present work aims to evaluate the current status and prospects of treatments of PMMA and P(S-co-DVB) particles intended for biotechnological and biomedical applications under basic, acidic, and enzymatic environments.
