Article Abstract

The uses of proteolytic enzymes in manufacturing procedures are numerous. Researchers are investigating a number of strategies to find, rework, or artificially produce enzymes with improved suitability for manufacturing processes in light of the growing needs and uses. Alkaline protease production was assessed in fungal strains that were obtained from soil using the serial dilution technique. Using molecular techniques, the isolate with the greatest potential for producing enzymes was identified. Gel filtering was used to purify the enzyme. In order to enhance fugus ability to generate protease under various growth conditions, this investigation explains how to optimize a culture medium. The fungus with the highest probability was identified as Penicillium verrucosum with accession number PV529631. The purified homodimer protein for purified protease was assessed to have two peaks at 42.5 kDa and 83.7 kDa, consequently upon screening at 280 nm. The optimal culture conditions have been detected upon culture for the isolated fungus at pH =9, temperature = 35 °C, using sucrose as a carbon source, insertion of peptone as a nitrogen and using Soy cake as waste material for culture conditions. The results of the research demonstrate the P. verrucosum strain's capacity to produce the protease enzyme. To fully use the possibilities of these substrates and promote the creation of superior and effective hydrolytic enzymes, it is imperative to keep investigating and refining these approaches.

A lack of control of the technological abiotic parameters apparent during cheese manufacture, including temperature and relative humidity, results in this dairy product being prone to mold contamination. Sometimes, inoculant molds are used to obtain the characteristic sensory properties of this type of product. However, during the maturation process, some unwanted molds can colonize the ripening cheese and produce mycotoxins.

Natural polymers are bioactive compounds that are used in the treatment of several disorders. Natural lignin, an amorphous polymer, offers significant potential for use as a building block in the production of bio-renovation materials. This study used an alkaline solvent technique to extract lignin from two Egyptian cotton cultivar byproducts, Giza 86 and 90.

Ochratoxin A (OTA) is a nephrotoxin that contaminates grains in storage. Moisture and temperature sensors give delayed responses due to their slow kinetic movement within the silo. This study examines if CO production could predict OTA contamination and identify storage conditions exceeding the maximum limit (5 μg/kg).

Introduction: Lung cancer is the most commonly diagnosed and the main cause of cancer death, usually related to cigarette smoking. Furthermore, the microbiota of people exposed to cigarette smoke can be modified, making it difficult to eliminate opportunistic microorganisms. The leaves of are a by-product of fruit production and, to date, there have been no studies addressing the antiproliferative, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial activities.
