Purification and biochemical properties of SDS-stable low molecular weight alkaline serine protease from Citrullus colocynthis

A low molecular weight serine protease from seeds of Citrullus colocynthis was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity with high level of catalytic efficiency (22,945 M^?1 S^?1). The enzyme was a monomer with molecular mass of 25 kDa estimated by SDS–PAGE. The enzyme was highly active over a pH range of 6.5–9.0 and temperature range of 20–80 °C, with maximum activity at pH 7.5 and at 50 °C. The K_m and K_cat were 73 μg/mL and 67/s, respectively. The enzyme was strongly inhibited by PMSF, moderately by soybean trypsin inhibitor, indicating that the enzyme was a serine protease. The enzyme retained 86 and 73% of its activity in the presence of urea and DTT, respectively, and its activity was slightly enhanced in the presence of anionic detergent (SDS). Thus, the enzyme is a novel SDS-stable protease with high catalytic efficiency over wide ranges of pH and temperature which is commercially promising for various industrial applications.     

Optimization of extraction process and characterization of water-soluble polysaccharide (Galactomannan) from Algerian biomass; Citrullus colocynthis seeds

In this work, the optimization of extraction of polysaccharides from Citrullus colocynthis curd polysaccharides (CCPs) is investigated by using the analysis of variance. For this aim, a chemical extraction method has been developed in order to be able to isolate CCPs at high level of purity. The extraction was performed by using boiling water at different extraction times (30, 60 and 120?min), extraction temperatures (50, 75 and 100°C), and a material ratio (30, 60 and 100?g/ml), for maximum polysaccharide extraction. The 3-D response surface plot and the contour plot derived from the mathematical models are used to determine the optimal conditions. The optimum extraction conditions are as follows: extraction temperature 100°C, extraction time 120?min and the ratio of water 30?ml/g. Under these conditions, the experimental final mass is 210.6?mg which is very close to the predicted value (209.46?mg) with a regression coefficient of 94.01%. In addition, the existence of the polysaccharide has been confirmed by the characterization of the galactomannan obtained from C. colocynthisis obtained by Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflection, IR-Raman spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction.

Green Synthesis and Characterization of Zinc Oxide Using Carica papaya Leaf Extract

Environmental methodologies are gaining recognition in this modern world. Environmental nanotechnology plays a major role in improving modern fields of environmental engineering and science. Metal oxide nanoparticles have exceptional properties due to their small size, including quantum confinement, surface-to-volume ratio, plasmon excitation, high biocompatibility, and surface modifiability. The biosynthesis of nanoparticles using fungi, bacteria, and plants through various biotechnological techniques is currently a new paradigm for environmental protection. Synthesis of nanoparticles through plant extract is good because it eliminates the dangers of toxic chemicals, it is environmentally friendly, simpler, and safer as the reaction time is reduced and it can also be increased in size for higher operation. The present study is based on the development of zinc oxide nanoparticles from papaya leaf extract where zinc nitrate is used as a precursor. The biosynthesized nanoparticles are characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray analysis, UV-visible spectroscopy, and dynamic light scattering analysis. The crystalline phase determination of the zinc oxide nanoparticles is analyzed by X-ray diffraction and the formation of polycrystalline zinc oxide nanoparticles is confirmed. FT-IR spectrum reveals the main functional groups and chemical information in zinc oxide nanostructures. Morphological analysis is performed using SEM at different magnification levels. EDAX analysis shows the purity of the composite samples. Optical characterization is performed using a UV–vis spectrophotometer. DLS analysis shows that the nanoparticles formed have a relatively well-defined dimension.

Isolation and characterization of nanocrystalline cellulose from flaxseed Hull: A future onco-drug delivery agent

Cellulose is a polysaccharide composed of D-glucopyranose linked by 1,4 β-glycoside bond with three hydroxyl groups. These hydroxyl groups in cellulose have an important role in the compactness of crystalline structure and in determining the physical properties of cellulose. Cellulose in nanometers size range from 10 nm to 350 nm is known as nano cellulose, which has a variety of applications due to the unique properties such as low density, biodegradable, and good mechanical properties. In the present study, we present the isolation of the nano cellulose from flaxseed hull for the first time. The isolated nano cellulose was characterized by techniques such as UV–Vis, FT-IR, BET, XRD SEM, and TEM. The nano cellulose obtained was found to be crystalline in nature with a crystallinity index of 46% and the surface area of 5 cm²/g with excellent thermal stability.

Characterization of sol-gel processing of calcium phosphate thin films on silicon substrate by FTIR spectroscopy

Calcium hydroxyapatite (Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)₂, CHAp) films were obtained on silicon substrates by a sol-gel method using a spin-coating technique. In the sol-gel process, ethylendiamintetraacetic acid and 1,2-ethandiol, triethanolamine and polyvinyl alcohol were used as complexing agents and gel network forming agents, respectively. The samples were annealed at 1000 °C for 5 h in air after each spinning procedure. Spin-coating and annealing procedures were repeated 5, 8 and 10 times. The coatings were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy- energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDX) and Fourier Transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). FTIR-spectroscopy allowed us to predict the formation of oxyhydroxyapatite Ca₁₀(PO₄)₆(OH)_2-2xO_x on the Si substrate. Moreover, according to the FTIR results, the side phase β-Ca₃(PO₄)₂ has been formed instead of α-Ca₃(PO₄)₂. In addition, the anhydrous dicalcium, phosphate phase CaHPO₄ was also detected spectroscopically.

Characterization and recovery of tartaric acid from wastes of wine and grape juice industries

Tartaric acid is mainly used in food, pharmaceuticals and cosmetics industries. In this study, the waste samples, which contain tartaric acid, from the wastes of wine and grape juice industries were characterized by using TG, DSC, FTIR and XRD techniques. HPLC was used to determine tartaric acid content of samples. The decomposition temperatures of waste samples were found to be relatively higher compared with that of pure tartaric acid. This difference in decomposition temperatures was attributed to the presence of potassium tartrate since high potassium content was detected with ICP-AES.
