Characterization and molecular docking study of taste peptides from chicken soup by sensory analysis combined with nano-LC-Q-TOF-MS/MS.

This study was aimed to investigate the properties of macromolecule chitosan composite film extracted from shrimp shells combined with ginger essential oil (GEO). Shrimp shells were employed to produce chitin. Their properties were measured as an effective food coating. The tensile strength decreased significantly with increased GEO concentrations compared to the control sample 31.12, 32.34, and 35.12 Map for both control and GEO concentrations of 0.1, 0.2 and 0.3%, respectively. Furthermore, the percentage of elongation increases with concentrations of GEO from 18.10 to 19.87% for each film 0.1 and 0.3%, respectively. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that GEO reduced the weight of chitosan-based film incorporating GEO loss at high levels of temperature. Composite films were characterized by their high ability scavenging hydroxyl and superoxide radicals. The findings of the current study showed that chitosan-based film incorporating GEO is a promising source for preparing bioactive films and that its use as anti-free radicals can be highly effective in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries.

Microbial resistance and greater prevalence of new and old pathogens with limited capacity of antibiotics and other chemical products (including bactericides, fungicides) have raised considerable concerns in the treatment of pathogenic microbes. A lot of studies have recently been aimed at finding promising solutions to overcome these problems. Nature has ever been a reliable potential provider of medicative plants that contain various active medicinal biomolecules and possess biological activity against a variety of diseases. These plants synthesized biomolecules that acted as their natural protection mechanism and were also used in medicinal, agrochemicals, and pharmaceutical applications. They possess antimicrobial properties that are associated with their capacity to generate several secondary antimicrobial metabolites that can provide an alternative control measure. Plant biomolecules possess various mechanisms of action to conduct possible antimicrobial activities against susceptible and resistant pathogens. Implementation of an alternative control measures using plant biomolecule antimicrobials measure is worth pursuing to overcome the menace. This can be done to reduce the incidence of diseases and pathogens resistance for food security and safety. Planning and implementing successful strategies for disease management is necessary to guarantee sustainable crop production systems. Taking these into account, it can be concluded that plant biomolecules are a valuable source of bioactive compounds with strong antimicrobial activities that may be used as an alternative control measure. Consequently, the aim of this chapter is to have a description of the different kinds of plant biomolecules, their applications and antimicrobial activity that might help researchers to develop new treatments against different plant and animal diseases for food security and safety.
