The potential angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE)– inhibitory and antioxidant activities of peptides in water- soluble extracts, obtained from raw and sterilized ovine and caprine cheeselike systems coagulated with enzymes from the plant Cynara cardunculus, were assessed. Prior to the assay, the 3,000-Da permeate from 45-d-old cheeselike systems was fractionated by tandem chromatographic techniques. Several pea...
One major challenge to industrial microalgal culturing is to devise and develop technical apparata, cultivation procedures and algal strains susceptible of undergoing substantial increases in efficiency of use of solar energy and carbon dioxide. Despite several research efforts developed to date, there is no such thing as “the best reactor system”- defined, in an absolute fashion, as the one able to achieve max...
The spectrophotometric determination of nitrate in sea water broths for cultivation of, say, microalgae is complicated by the frequent presence of nitrite. Two methods - sulphamic/perchloric acid method (also known as Cawse method) and sulphamic acid method - both claimed to be able to eliminate nitrite interference, were tested using a set of standards, but statistical treatment of the results proved their lim...
The present communication reports experimental and modelling work pertaining to the independent roles of pH and temperature on deactivation of a crude lipase from Mucor javanicus. Experimental data oflipolytic activities were generated by a classic pH-stat assay on a triolein emulsion following incubation at several pH values for a fixed time, or at several temperatures for various times; postulated models were...
