Study on the quality of fish products based on different preservation techniques: a review

“…Aside from alternative freezing procedures, injecting or dipping antifreeze proteins into meat or fish has shown some efficacy in forcing the production of tiny ice crystals (Mathew et al, 2019;Ustun & Turhan, 2020). Antifreeze proteins have also been found to prevent tiny ice crystals from recrystallizing into larger ice crystals (Eskandari et al, 2020).…”

Marine-Derived Biologically Active Compounds for the Potential Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis

“…Glycosaminoglycan (GAGs) are multifunctional polysaccharides composed of repeating disaccharide units that may change the form of sulfation and epimerization, which determines different functions of protein recognition and biological activities of these compounds [ 72 , 73 ]. Two important groups of complex heteropolysaccharides belonging to the class of GAGs are chondroitin sulfate (CS) and hyaluronic acid (HA).…”

“…Consequently, it is involved in many biological processes at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels [ 75 , 77 , 78 ]. They play an essential structural role in the composition of extracellular matrix and formation of tissues such as cartilage and bones, abundant in mammals’ connective tissue [ 73 , 79 ]. Some studies have revealed that CS has immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory properties in several diseases [ 80 , 81 ], highlighting the promising effects of CS reducing symptoms and improving function in osteoarthritis patients, which is one of the consequences of RA in advanced phases [ 82 , 83 ].…”

“…Chitosan is the direct derivative of chitin obtained by partial deacetylation under alkaline conditions [ 95 ], shares characteristics similar to its precursor. Still, chitosan has more applications in the chemical areas, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries [ 73 , 99 ]. It has hydrophilic and antimicrobial properties, being necessary for the production of biomaterials [ 95 ].…”
