Development of Bioactive Nanopeptide of Microalgal Origin
Abstract:
The objective of this work was to produce nanoparticles containing bioactive peptides obtained by the enzymatic hydrolysis reaction of microalgal biomass. The hydrolysates were purified by vacuum filtration with membranes of different sizes and by vertical column membranes. After each step, an antioxidant activity test was conducted. The nanoparticles were developed by nanoatomization, with the size and morphology of the particles analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The microalgae hydrolysates showed high antioxidant activity compared to non-hydrolyzed biomass. The nanoatomization of bioactive peptides caused no significant reduction in antioxidant activity, with maximum reductions of 15.0 and 17.4% by DPPH assay and 2.5 and 3.8% determined by reducing power assay for Spirulina LEB 18 and Chlorella pyrenoidosa, respectively, with no reduction in the ABTS values. Nanoparticles with sizes ranging from 14–18 nm and 72–108 were obtained for the Spirulina and Chlorella hydrolysates, respectively.

Language Development
The critical period for language acquisition suggests that the ability to acquire language is at its peak early in life. As people age, this proficiency decreases. Language development begins very...
Development of the Lymphatic System
The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
Development of Immunocompetence
The initial cells that migrate from the fetal thymus settle within the skin and epithelial tissues lining the mouth, digestive tract, and in females, the uterus and vagina. These cells, including skin-based dendritic cells, serve as antigen-presenting cells, playing a key role in T cell activation.
Subsequent T...
