    Abstract Gamma-aminobutyric acid (γ-ABA) can be produced by various microorganisms including bacteria, fungi and yeasts using enzymatic bioconversion, microbial fermentation or chemical hydrolysis. Regenerating conjugated glycerol-amines is valid by the intervention of microbial cyclooxygenase [COX] and lipooxygenase [LOX] enzymes produced via lactobacillus bacteria (LAB) as successor enzymes to glutamate decarboxylases (GAD). Therefore, the aim of this review is to provide an overview on γ-ABA production, and microbiological achievements used in producing this signal molecule based on those fermenting enzymes. The formation of aminoglycerides based conjugated γ-ABA is considered the key substances in controlling the host defense against pathogens and is aimed in increasing the neurotransmission effects and in suppressing further cardiovascular diseases.

    Abstract The attempt of this review article is to determine the impact of nuclear and mitochondrial damages on the propagation of cancer incidences. This review has advanced our understanding to altered genes and their relevant cancerous proteins. The progressive raising effects of free reactive oxygen species ROS and toxicogenic compounds contributed to significant mutation in nuclear and mitochondrial DNA where the incidence of gastric cancer is found to be linked with down regulation of some relevant genes and mutation in some important cellular proteins such as AMP-18 and CA-11. Thereby, the resulting changes in gene mutations induced the apparition of newly polymorphisms eventually leading to unusual cellular expression to mutant proteins. Reduction of these apoptotic growth factors and nuclear damages is increasingly accepted by cell reactivation effect, enhanced cellular signaling and DNA repairs. Acetylation, glycation, pegylation and phosphorylation are among the molecular techniques used in DNA repair for rectifying mutation incidences. In addition, the molecular labeling based fluorescent materials are currently used along with the bioconjugating of signal molecules in targeting disease translocation site, particularly cancers and tumors. These strategies would help in determining relevant compounds capable in overcoming problems of down regulating genes responsible for repair mechanisms. These issues of course need interplay of both proteomic and genomic studies often in combination of molecular engineering to cible the exact expressed gene relevant to these cancerous proteins.

These structural changes had a great benefit in determining and producing functional protein hydrolysates.

    Abstract Mitragynine is an alkaloid from Mitragyna speciosa Korth. (kratom), a native tropical plant in Southeast Asia. It could render psychotropic effects and is often misused in substitution for commercial drugs. In recent years, the consumption of kratom has grown rapidly and has led some countries to ban its use. The misuse of kratom can be detected and monitored through the determination of mitragynine from biological samples of the users. Therefore, the development of a rapid and effective detection method is needed. In this study, polyclonal antibodies were produced using mitragynine coupled to a carrier protein (cationic bovine serum albumin, cBSA) as an immunogen, which was prepared with coupling agents (i.e., N, N- dicyclohexylcarbodiimide, DCC and N-hydroxysuccinimide, NHS). It was conjugated to different mitragynine structure, 16-COOCH

    Abstract Obesity has become an epidemic where it happens drastically among developing countries. Studies suggested that dietary intake are able to influence human health issues including obesity. Prebiotics are food ingredients that can positively contribute to human health by influencing the balance in gut microbiota. Thus, prebiotic dietary can selectively stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut, which could be a strategy to address obesity issues. This includes resistant starch (RS), which is a fermentable prebiotic ingredient that is able to contribute in colonic health. Therefore, it is reviewed in this article that RS as a soluble fiber with prebiotic potential for its ability to resist digestion and passes through the colon as well as positively stimulating the fermentation of gut microbiota. Also, metabolites from the colonic fermentation of RS have been exhibited in many studies. Whereby, it is reported that RS stimulates the gut signaling hormones that are responsible for controlling food appetite, preventing fat accumulation and thus, helps in body weight management. With this knowledge, this review suggested that RS may be an option to combat the development of obesity.

    Abstract Kenaf (Hibiscus cannabinus L.) seed is a valuable protein source that could be used to prepare protein hydrolysates with antihypertensive properties. However, the potential of using kenaf seeds for health food and pharmaceutical applications has not been fully exploited. Thus, the aim of this study was to identify and characterise the Angiotensin-I-Converting Enzyme (ACE) inhibitory peptides derived from the optimized hydrolysis conditions of kenaf seed protein hydrolysates (KSPH). The optimum hydrolysis conditions determined by response surface methodology (RSM) were as follows: temperature 65 °C, pH 6.5, hydrolysis time 2.25 h, and enzyme/substrate (E/S) ratio of 0.03 (w/w). Under these conditions, the degree of hydrolysis (DH) was 55.28 % and ACE inhibitory activity was 75.51 %. Also, the low molecular weight peptide fractions, <2 kilodalton (kDa) and 2–5 kDa showed the highest ACE-inhibitory activity (82.27 % and 83.69 %, respectively). The 2–5 kDa fraction by Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (QTOF LC − MS) revealed the abundance of six peptides, LYWSYLYN, ALFYWVS, LLLHAL, AKSCVVFP, INPPSTTN, and WTIPTPS. Kinetic studies showed that peptide LYWSYLYN possessed the highest Michaelis constant (Km), maximum velocity (Vmax) values and the lowest inhibitor constant (Ki) values, suggesting of its superior ACE inhibitory activity compared to other peptides.

    Abstract Tofu was made by substituting kenaf seed (K) with soybean (S) at 100 (positive control), 50%, 40%, 30%, 20%, 10% and 0% (negative control). The results indicated that kenaf seed substitution at all ratios significantly increased the soluble solids and protein content of the milky extracts. The yield, moisture and protein content of the tofu were significantly increased with the increase in kenaf seed substitution, while the lipid content was significantly decreased. The tofu made with kenaf seed substitution of 50%, 40% and 30% had the same protein content (43.76–45.36 g/100 g) with the positive control (45.36 g/100 g), but a significantly higher lipid content (32.00–35.75 g/100 g) than that of the positive control (27.50 g/100 g). The microstructure of the tofu revealed that only the positive control had a honey‐comb structure, whilst the tofu made from kenaf seed‐soybean blends had a pseudo‐honey like structure. Up to 30% of soybean can be added into the kenaf‐based tofu, without any negative effect on the textural and colour properties and, protein content, but significantly improved the essential amino acids content of the kenaf‐based tofu. Therefore, the blend of 70K:30S ratio using 0.5 g% glucono delta‐lactone as a coagulant is recommended to produce kenaf seed‐soybean tofu.

    Abstract BACKGROUND: This study determined the effect of processing conditions on protein extractability from Azolla pinnata fern, and their influence on the physicochemical, structural, techno‐functional properties and protein quality. RESULTS: The protein extraction from A. pinnata fern was optimized through response surface methodology obtaining a maximum yield of 18.93% with a recovery rate of 73.66%. The A. pinnata fern protein concentrate (AFPC) had five protein bands with a molecular weight ranging from 17 to 56 kDa. AFPC contained high β‐sheet structure (36.61%), favouring its good thermal properties with three endothermic peaks at 54.28, 86.52 and 166.25 °C. The AFPC scored ≥ 1 for all essential amino acids, except for lysine and histidine. The AFPC exhibited exceptionally high techno‐functional properties, particularly for water holding (5.46 g g⁻¹) and fat absorption capacity (10.08 g g⁻¹), and gelling properties (5% gelation concentration). The AFPC had high in vitro digestibility of 73%, signifying its high availability for human consumption. CONCLUSION: The underexploited A. pinnata fern is a potential source of edible protein, thus a promising nutraceutical or ingredient of functional and health‐promoting foods. © 2022 Society of Chemical Industry.
