| Title | : | Physicochemical Properties and in Vitro Anti-Inflammatory Effects of Indian Chia (Salvia Hispanica L.) Seed Oil |
| Country | : | India |
| Authors | : | Ramzi Abdulrashed Abdulkhaleq Gazem || Honnalagere Ramesh Puneeth || Chakkere Shivmadhu Madhu || Angatahally Chandrashekariah Sharada |
Abstract: Salvia hispanica L. also known as chia or salba has been used as a fodder/food in Central America and was one of the chief dietary components of the ancient culture. Owing to the fatty acid profile and nutrition value chia is being reintroduced as a food crop across different countries. Many health beneficial effects of chia seed oil have been reported in vitro and in vivo owing to higher content of polyunsaturated fatty acid particularly alpha-linolenic acid (ALA)......
Keywords: Alpha-linolenic acid, Anti-inflammatory, chia seed oil, physicochemical properties, combination studies.

| Title | : | Production of Cysteine Proteases by Recombinant Microorganisms: A Critical Review |
| Country | : | Egypt |
| Authors | : | Khairuddin Malek || Muadz Norazan || RamanessParasuraman || NorZalina Othman || RoslindaAbd Malek || Ramlan Aziz || Azzam Aladdin || Hesham El Enshasy |
Abstract: Cysteine Proteases are groups of enzymes which able to degrade protein. These enzymes are commonly found in nature in many plant families and rich in known fruits such as in papaya, pineapple, and kiwi. However, the highest enzyme concentration is usually obtained from unripe fruits. In addition to their traditional uses of cysteine proteases as meat tenderizers, they have nowadays wider applications in the field of food, pharma, and textile industries.......
