The increasing human population and continuous demands of timber its derived products like composite wood, has created a significant pressure on the demand for high quality from forests. This, ultimately resulted in pressurising natural forests increase unvailibility production or durable one way to neutralize this is modify other non wood species having undesirable properties hygroscopicity, a...

A comparative investigation of lysozyme in trehalose, sucrose and maltose aqueous solutions has been performed using Molecular Dynamics simulations. The vibrational properties in the low frequency spectral range [0 350] cm^^ were mainly analyzed. This study confirms that the hydrogen bond (HB) network of water is highly dependent on the presence of sugars and contributes to the stabilization of...

The emergence of antibiotic resistant bacteria has led to exploration of alternative therapeutic agents such as ribosomally synthesized bacterial peptides known as bacteriocins. Biofilms, which are microbial communities that cause serious chronic infections, form environments that enhance antimicrobial resistance. Bacteria in biofilm can be upto thousand times more resistant to antibiotics than...

The concept of algae biorefinery is attracting attention because the abundant valuable compounds within algal biomass. Phenyllactic acid (PhLA), a broad-spectrum antimicrobial organic that can be produced by lactic bacteria (LAB), considered potential biopreservative. In this study, cascading approach was developed to harvest PhLA from Porphyra residues LAB fermentation. strains were cultivated...

From the previous study, Enterococcus faecium SH01 was isolated from mukeunji, an over-ripened kimchi, and it produced bacteriocin SH01. Bacteriocin SH01 showed an inhibitory effect against Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 19111, a bacterial strain causing human listeriosis. Crude bacteriocin SH01 was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation and its inhibitory activity at two concentrations (500 a...

Staphylococcus aureus and its drug-resistant strains, which threaten public health and food safety, are in need of effective control by biopreservatives. A novel bacteriocin, pentocin JL-1, produced by Lactobacillus pentosus that was isolated from the intestinal tract of Chiloscyllium punctatum, was purified by a four-step chromatographic process. Mass spectrometry based on MALDI-TOF indicated ...
