    Saltwater crocodile ( Crocodylus porosus ; SC) farming generates 45% bone waste, creating environmental challenges but also representing an underutilized source of calcium. This study presents the first comprehensive protocol for extracting bio-calcium from SC bone through sequential processing: autoclaving, alkaline soaking, ethanol extraction, and hydrogen peroxide bleaching. The extraction process yielded 16.94% bio-calcium with a high mineral density (26.37% Ca and 13.83% P) and an average particle size of 6.77 μm. XRD confirmed the preserved hydroxyapatite structure, while FTIR revealed the complete elimination of the organic matrix in the resulting bio-calcium. SEM-EDS demonstrated uniform elemental distribution with no detectable heavy metals. Remarkably, in vitro calcium bioavailability reached 15.24%, representing a 78% enhancement over fish bone bio-calcium and doubling synthetic supplement performance. Preserved collagen-derived amino acids facilitate calcium-peptide chelation, explaining the superior absorption. The developed valorization process converts aquaculture waste into high-value ingredients with potential applications in food and pharmaceuticals.

    This study investigated the enhancement of food proteins through glycation with bioactive saccharides derived from Konjac glucomannan hydrolysate (KGMH) via the Maillard reaction. The focus was on how the degree of polymerisation (DP) of KGMH influences the glycation process and the properties of conjugates with chicken breast and soy proteins. KGMH samples with low, medium, and high DPs (4.20, 5.21, and 6.11, respectively) were glycated under wet-heating conditions with varying pH levels (8, 9, and 10) at 70 °C for 15 min to 6 h. Results demonstrated that higher pH and longer reaction times significantly enhanced (P < 0.05) glycation and browning, particularly with lower DP saccharides. The optimal conjugates markedly improved protein solubility (1.3 to 1.9 times), heat stability (1.1 to 2.4 times), and emulsification properties (1.2 to 1.5 times), with the highest DP showing the strongest correlation. Additionally, these conjugates exhibited significantly enhanced in vitro bioaccessibility (58.69% to 66.65%) and antioxidant activity (P < 0.05). This study highlights the novel potential of KGMH-protein conjugation through the Maillard reaction for developing functional food ingredients with superior quality.

    Objective: This research aims to explore the nutritional and bioactive peptide properties of goat meat taken from various primal cuts, including the breast, shoulder, rib, loin, and leg, to produce these bioactive peptides during in vitro gastrointestinal (GI) digestion and absorption. Methods: The goat meat from various primal cuts was obtained from Boer goats with an average carcass weight of 30±2 kg. The meat was collected within 3 h after slaughter and was stored at –80°C until analysis. A comprehensive assessment encompassed various aspects, including the chemical composition, cooking properties, in vitro GI digestion, bioactive characteristics, and the bioavailability of the resulting peptides. Results: The findings indicate that the loin muscles contain the highest protein and essential amino acid composition. When the meats were cooked at 70°C for 30 min, they exhibited distinct protein compositions and quantities in the sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis profile, suggesting they served as different protein substrates during GI digestion. Subsequent in vitro simulated GI digestion revealed that the cooked shoulder and loin underwent the most significant hydrolysis during the intestinal phase, resulting in the strongest angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) and dipeptidyl peptidase-IV (DPP-IV) inhibition. Following in vitro GI peptide absorption using a Caco-2 cell monolayer, the GI peptide derived from the cooked loin demonstrated greater bioavailability and a higher degree of ACE and DPP-IV inhibition than the shoulder peptide. Conclusion: This study highlights the potential of goat meat, particularly cooked loin, as a functional meat source for protein, essential amino acids, and bioactive peptides during GI digestion and absorption. These peptides promise to play a role in preventing and treating metabolic diseases due to their dual inhibitory effects on ACE and DPP-IV.

    Cadmium (Cd) is a toxic and nonessential element. Because of its toxicity, Cd soil contamination is a major environmental risk to living organisms. Several studies have reported on the successful use of biochar to immobilize Cd in soil as it reduces Cd accumulation in plant parts. This research reports on the contrasting effect of biochar on enhancing Cd uptake by plants. A cassava stem biochar produced through low-temperature pyrolysis was applied to natural Cd-contaminated soil that also had a high zinc (Zn) concentration. Vigna radiata L. (a green bean) was grown in treatments receiving three biochar rates, i.e., 5, 10, and 15 %, respectively. The results showed that the 10 % biochar-amended soil had a positive effect on promoting plant growth and seed yield. Unfortunately, 15 % biochar-amended soil caused an adverse effect to plant growth. Cadmium uptake by plants increased with increasing biochar application rate. Zinc uptake by plants tended to decrease with biochar application. Cadmium and Zn bioavailability in soil was significantly reduced with an increasing biochar application rate. The results also showed that the biochar-amended soil could be an alternative and cost-effective method to promote plant growth and decrease Cd mobility in soil. The ratio of Cd concentration in plant root to soil was higher than 1, while the translocation factor from root to shoot was less than 1. These results indicate that the cultivation of V. radiata L. coupled with biochar application is an appropriate method to enhance Cd phytostabilization efficiency of V. radiata L. in Cd-polluted sites.
