Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractExtraction Process Optimization and Functional Characteristics of by Papain Solubilized Collagen from Large Yellow Croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) SkinBiaoshi Wang, Wenfeng Li, Shumin Liu et al.Through collagen extraction from large yellow croaker (Pseudosciaena crocea) skin using an enzymatic method, the extraction optimization and characterization of collagen from raw materials after papain hydrolysis pretreatment are studied. The extraction process was optimized using the response surface methodology in this study. The findings show that the optimal conditions are a ratio (solvent to solid) of 25.0 mL/g, a … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 19, Issue 4 · 26 Dec 2023 · 5,553 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractLevels of Trace and Other Selected Metals in Mixed Teff Grain SamplesAbraha Gebregewergis WeldehawariaTeff (Eragrostis tef (Zuccagni)) is a hugely important crop to Ethiopia both in terms of production and consumption. In terms of production, teff is the dominant cereal by area coverage and second only to maize in production and consumption. The principal use of teff grain for human food in Ethiopia is in the form of Injera, a soft porous thin … …American Journal of Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 19 Feb 2022 · 7,124 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractOptimization Design of Sea Cucumber Cleaning Parameters by Water JetXu Zhang, Changyuan Zhang, Fei Gao et al.Aiming at the problem that the cleaning effect and surface integrity of the mechanical cleaning process cannot be solved simultaneously in the pretreatment of sea cucumber and according to the requirements of high efficiency, high quality and economy of sea cucumber body surface cleaning, a continuous directional cleaning device for sea cucumber abdomen and back based on the principle of … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 17, Issue 1 · 15 Mar 2021 · 6,174 accessesView PDF Cite

In this study, 24 mice were grouped into four groups. CCl4 was introduced in all groups except for the control group intraperitoneally after pretreatment with ODN 2088 and silymarin for seven days. To assess the liver … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 16, Issue 1 · 4 Jan 2020 · 7,659 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Effect of Ultrasound Processing and Exogenous Cellulase Supplementation on the Ruminal Degradability of Palm Date SeedsAhmed Aboragah, Mohammed G. Embaby, Mevlüt Günal, Amer A. AbuGhazalehThe objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sonication and enzyme supplements on rumen degradability of date palm seeds (DPS). The effect of alkali-assisted sonication and the addition of cellulase enzyme supplements (40 endoglucanase units/g dry matter) derived from Aspergillus niger or Trichoderma longibrachiatum on DPS ruminal degradability were evaluated under in vitro conditions. The in vitro … …American Journal of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 3 · 24 Aug 2019 · 7,419 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractQuercetin Iron (III) Complex Enhances Radiation-Induced Cell Death in Human Erythroleukemic Cell Lines by Increasing the Generation of Intracellular ROSJiraporn Kantapan, Krai Daowtak, Kachaporn Gateprayoon et al.Quercetin iron (III) complex (IronQ) is a paramagnetic agent which exhibits several biological effects. Despite extensive studies about quercetin metal complex, the role of complexes to enhance the effect of radiation still remains unexplored. To this end, we determined whether and how IronQ sensitizes cancer cells to Ionizing Radiation (IR). Doxorubicin resistant leukemic cells (K562/Adr) and their parental cell lines … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 14, Issue 1 · 16 Jan 2017 · 8,064 accessesView PDF Cite
