Article Abstract
Neokyotorphin (α137-141) is recognized as an antimicrobial peptide and a natural meat preservative. It is produced by conventional enzymatic hydrolysis of bovine hemoglobin, a major component of cruor, a by-product of slaughterhouses. However, during conventional hydrolysis, chemical agents are necessary to adjust and regulate the pH of the protein solution and the mineral salt content of the final hydrolysate is consequently high. To produce this peptide of interest without chemical agents and with a low salt concentration, electrodialysis with bipolar membrane (EDBM), an electromembrane process recognized as a green process, with two different membrane configurations (cationic (MCP) and anionic (AEM) membranes) was investigated. Hydrolysis in EDBM showed the same enzymatic mechanism, "Zipper", and allowed the generation of α137-141 in the same concentration as observed in conventional hydrolysis (control). EDBM-MCP allowed the production of hydrolysates containing a low concentration of mineral salts but with fouling formation on MCP, while EDBM-AEM allowed the production of hydrolysates without fouling but with a similar salt concentration than the control. To the best of our knowledge, this was the first time that EDBM was demonstrated as a feasible and innovative technology to produce peptide hydrolysates from enzymatic hydrolysis.

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.

Unlabelled: Lactose intolerance is defined as the inability to digest lactose due to insufficient activity of the β-galactosidase enzyme, which catalyzes the hydrolysis of lactose into glucose and galactose. This study evaluated the potential probiotic properties of isolated S8, which exhibiting high β-galactosidase activity. The strain demonstrated higher survival rate under gastrointestinal stress, with 80% and 63% viability after 3 h in simulated gastric fluid and 8 h in intestinal fluid, respectively, while retaining 60.

Stimuli-responsive (multiphase) coacervates deserve significant attention as cell-like entities that can adapt to their environment and undergo morphological reconfiguration. In this study, a tandem-triggered transition system is presented that enables the transformation of single-phase coacervates into multiphase structures through the sequential application of two external stimuli: pH and salt concentration. A polyanion containing acid-labile amide bond is incorporated into the membrane-less coacervates.

Rhamnosyl Icariside II, a rare secondary flavonoid glycoside in , exhibits superior stability and bioactivity than the primary flavonoid glycosides. Converting primary flavonoid glycoside into Rhamnosyl Icariside II is desirable due to separate extraction methods are inefficient. In this study, a recyclable biphasic enzymatic hydrolysis process of extracts to produce high purity RIc was established and optimised.
