Microalgae protein hydrolysates (MPH) were obtained by enzymatic hydrolysis of defatted microalgae meal using neutral protease. The protein recovery, degree of hydrolysis, and the antioxidant activities of the hydrolysates were investigated. The results demonstrated that hydrolysates prepared by neutral protease at 50 °C for 4 h exhibited the strongest antioxidant activity. Under these conditions, the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), hydroxyl radical scavenging activity and the reducing power of the hydrolysates were 68.3%, 50.8% and 1.303, respectively.

Camelina seed meal was used to produce protein hydrolysates using Alcalase and Flavourzyme. The hydrolysates were then fractionated by employing ultrafiltration membranes (3, 10 kDa). The antioxidant activities of camelina protein hydrolysates and peptide fractions were investigated. The essential amino acid content of camelina protein isolates and hydrolysates was comparable and adequate. All camelina hydrolysates exhibited the highest radical scavenging activity in both DPPH and ABTS assay compared to camelina protein isolates. When comparing the overall DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activity of peptide fractions, smaller-size peptides (<3 kDa) displayed considerably higher values and hence more potency than larger-sized peptides (>3 kDa). Peptide fractions with 3-10 kDa had better metal chelation and reducing power than those < 3 kDa and > 10 kDa. These findings suggest that camelina protein hydrolysates could be employed as bioactive ingredients in the formulation of functional foods and against oxidative stress.

A comparative study of antioxidant properties on two varieties of Phyllanthus (Phyllanthus niruiri L. & Phyllanthus urinaria L. leaves) growing in Bangladesh was done in the present study. Five complimentary test methods namely DPPH free radical scavenging activity, reducing power assay, total antioxidant capacity, total phenolic and flavonoid contents determination were used for the evaluation of antioxidant properties of two species of Phyllanthus. In the present investigation for the evaluation of antioxidant activities the concentration is expressed by the ratio of crude sample per solvent volume instead of extract weight per solvent volume. Based on these concentrations the investigated P. niruri L. and P. urinaria L. leaves extracts exhibited significant results. At 2 mg/ml concentration DPPH radical scavenging capacity of the methanol extract of both the plants was found to show significant (>90%) activity which is comparable to Ascorbic acid and BHA. In case of reducing power tests for both the extract, the activity of P. urinaria is comparable to that of BHA and AA and that of P. niruiri is comparable to BHA. P. niruiri showed better antioxidant potential than that of P. urinaria based on the observed results of their corresponding methanol extract.

Abstract Two different non-specific proteolytic enzymes (papain and pepsin) and two carbohydrase enzymes (α-amylase and β-amylase) were used for the depolymerization of chitosan to produce chitooligosaccharides (COS). The COS produced using papain, pepsin, α-amylase and β-amylase were characterized for physico-chemical, structural, thermal and antioxidant activities. Chitooligosaccharides produced using pepsin enzyme had higher solubility compared to other three COS. Structural variation of chitosan and their oligosaccharides were studied by FTIR analysis and it revealed the existence of various structural difference among the oligosaccharides and chitosan. Thermal behavior of chitosan and oligosaccharides were examined using DSC analysis, and it exhibits difference in the glass transition temperature among the four oligosaccharides and native chitosan. Anti-oxidant analysis such as DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power revealed the antioxidant ability of chitooligosaccharides. Among the four COS, pepsin-COS had the highest DPPH radical scavenging and reducing power activity. According to the patterns of molecular weight reduction, antioxidant properties, thermal behavior properties, four enzymes α- amylase, β-amylase, pepsin and papain found suitable for hydrolyzing chitosan into chitooligosaccharide. As it is superior to chitosan, chitooligosaccharide can be utilized in food industry as bio-preservatives to enhance the quality, safety and shelf life of the products.

Heterogeneous method for grafting of syringaldehyde (SD) onto chitosan by laccase oxidation, yielding a product with improved antioxidant activities. The results showed that about 1.1% amino groups participated in this reaction. The FTIR showed that the absorption of amino groups were decreased, the absorption of benzene ring structures were disappeared and a new band appeared at 1637 cm-1 corresponding to C=N vibrations that were due to the Schiff base reaction between the chitosan and syringaldehyde. Additionally, the chitosan had insignificant reducing power and DPPH free radical scavenging activity, SD-chitosan had reducing power of A700=0.684, DPPH free radical scavenging activity of 53.2%. SD-chitosan presented improved antioxidant properties.

Several biological activities have now been associated with egg protein- derived peptides, including antihypertensive, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, anticancer and antioxidant activities, highlighting the importance of these biopeptides in human health, and disease prevention and treatment. Special attention has been given to peptides with antioxidant and antimicrobial activities as a new source of natural preservatives in food industry. In this study, the antioxidant properties of the egg-yolk protein by-product (YP) hydrolysates were evaluated based on their radical scavenging capacity (DPPH), Fe2+chelating effect and ferric reducing power (FRAP). Furthermore, antimicrobial properties of obtained hydrolysates against Bacillus species were studied. The degrees (DHs) of hydrolysis for 4h hydrolysates were: 19.1%, 13.5% and 13.0%, for pepsin, chymotrypsin and trypsin, respectively. Pepsin was the most effective in producing the free amino groups (1410.3 μmolGly/g). The RP-HPLC profiles of the protein hydrolysates showed differences in the hydrophobicity of the generated peptides. Trypsin hydrolysate obtained after 4h reaction demonstrated the strongest DPPH free radical scavenging activity (0.85 µmol Troloxeq/mg). Trypsin and chymotrypsin hydrolysates obtained after 4h reaction exhibited 4 times higher ferric reducing capacity than those treated by pepsin. The hydrolysis products obtained from YP exhibited significant chelating activity. The 4h trypsin hydrolysate exhibited weak antimicrobial activity against B. subtilis B3; B. cereus B512; B. cereus B 3p and B. laterosporum B6. Keywords: Antioxidative activity, DPPH, peptides, hydrolysis, egg-yolk protei

In this study, three kinds of component proteins of tilapia were hydrolyzed with papain for 4h. The effect of hydrolysis and the antioxidant activities of the resulting hydrolysates were characterized. The results showed sarcoplasmic protein hydrolysate had significantly (p < 0.05) highest scavenging ability against hydroxyl, superoxide, DPPH radicals and the total reducing power. Stroma protein hydrolysate had the highest nitrogen recovery (NR) while myofibrillar protein hydrolysate had the highest degree of hydrolysis (DH). Sarcoplasmic protein hydrolysate with high radical scavenging ability was separated by membrane ultrafiltration into four molecular size fractions (<5, 5–10, 10–100, >100kDa). It was found that the antioxidant activities of the <5kDa fraction were higher than that of other fractions. Overall, sarcoplasmic protein is more efficient to obtain antioxidant properties when compared to other component proteins of tilapia.

Fusarium wilt is one of the most common destructive banana diseases which causes great losses to the global banana production. Berangan banana, known to be very susceptible towards this disease is greatly affected. Upon infection, oxidative burst involving rapid accumulation of reactive oxygen species is one of the first responses of a plant defense against biotic and abiotic stress. Secondary metabolites play an essential role in scavenging these toxic reactive radicals. In this study, a number of phenolic compounds and flavonoids were identified and the changes were documented. Compounds such as quinic acid, ferulic acid, caffeoyl glucose, p-coumaric acid, syringic acid, sinapic acid, aconitic acid, caffeic acid, p-hydroxybenzoic acid, ascorbic acid, kaempferol-rhamnose-hexose, quercetin, catechin, rutin, and isorhamnetin 3-O rutinoside increased after fungal infection. Concomitantly, DPPH radical scavenging activity, reducing power, total antioxidant activity, total flavonoid content and total polyphenol content also increased. Polyphenols, flavonoid content and antioxidant activities increased significantly on day 1 and continued to increase until day 6 before gradually declining. The phenolic and flavonoid profiles were analysed using liquid chromatography - mass spectroscopy (LCMS). The antioxidant properties were found to be closely related to plant defense system.

Methanolic extracts (MEs) of seven brown seaweeds occurring in the Indian coastal waters were screened for their cytotoxic and antioxidant properties following various assays. The methanolic extracts of seaweeds in the order ofDictyopteris australis > Spatoglossum variabile > Stoechospermum marginatum > Spatoglossum aspermumshowed significant cytotoxic activity. A very high DPPH radical scavenging activity was exhibited by the methanolic extracts prepared fromSt. marginatum, Padina tetrastromatica, Dictyopteris delicatulaandS. aspermum. The total phenolic content of the MEs varied from 13.19 ± 0.32 to 25.29 ± 0.445 gallic acid equivalents (mg g−1of methanolic extract). The reducing power assay indicated a dose dependency, at concentrations of 0.1, 0.5 and 1.0 and 2.0 mg mL−1of MEs and decreased in the following order:Butylated hydroxy toluene > P. tetrastromatica > D. delicatula > S. aspermum > S. variabile > S. marginatum > D. australis > S. marginatum. Furthermore,D. australis,S. aspermum, S. variabileandS. marginatumdemonstrated good metal ion chelating properties. All the above evidences suggest that, the antioxidant compounds found in brown seaweeds scavenge free radicals through effective intervention. This decisively promotes them as a potential source of natural antioxidants.

Tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) protein was hydrolysed by papain, and then the tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) protein hydrolysates (TPH) chelated with ferrous ions at various mass ratios of TPH to FeCl2 (5:1, 10:1 and 20:1) to obtain the biological materials of chelate I, chelate II and chelate III, respectively. The ferrous-binding rate and antioxidant activities of the chelates were investigated. It was found that the ferrous-binding rate increased with the increase of mass ratios (TPH/FeCl2) from 5:1 to 20:1. The DPPH radical scavenging activity and reducing power activity of chelate III were highest in the chelates, and the lipid peroxidation inhibition activity of the chelate III was obviously higher than that of TPH. Compared with TPH, marked changes in microstructure were observed in the biological material of TPH-iron chelate.
