“…Alpizar-Reyes et al and Santos et al ( Hsueh et al, 2007 ; Wong et al, 2016 ) say that it made a new biosurfactant. According to ( Santos et al, 2017 ; Alpizar-Reyes et al, 2022 ), the emulsification index (E24) for the halophilic bacteria under study in this study was 68%. Thus, emulsification activity is recognised as a very reliable and accurate approach to screening for the generation of biosurfactants ( SOFY et al, 2022 ), especially when paired with the drop collapse test ( Wani et al, 2018 ).…”

Biosurfactants are surface-active molecules with unique qualities and various uses. Many microorganisms produce secondary metabolites with surface-active characteristics that serve various antiviral functions. The HIV and Zika viruses were chosen for this study because they can spread from mother to child and result in potentially fatal infections in infants. Halophilic bacteria from the Red Sea solar saltern in Egypt were screened using drop collapse, emulsification activity, and oil displacement assays to produce biosurfactants and emulsifiers. Halobacterium jilantaiense strain JBS1 was the most effective strain of the Halobacteriaceae family. It had the best oil displacement test and emulsification activity against kerosene and crude oil, respectively. Among the ten isolates, it produced the most promising biosurfactant, also recognized by the GC-MASS library. This study evaluated biosurfactants from halophilic bacteria as potential antiviral drugs. Some of the computer methods we use are molecular docking, ADMET, and molecular dynamics. We use model organisms like the HIV reverse transcriptase (PDB: 5VZ6) and the Zika virus RNA-dependent RNA polymerase (ZV-RdRP). Molecular docking and molecular dynamics make the best complexes with 5VZ6 HIV-RT and flavone (C25) and 5wz3 ZV-RdRP and ethyl cholate (C8). Testing for ADMET toxicity on the complex revealed that it is the safest medicine conceivable. The 5VZ6-C25 and 5wz3-C8 complexes also followed the Lipinski rule. They made five hydrogen bond donors and ten hydrogen bond acceptors with 500 Da MW and a 5:1 octanol/water partition coefficient. Finally, extreme settings require particular adaptations for stability, and extremophile biosurfactants may be more stable.

“…EPP had a protein content of 2.53 g/100 g, which can be attributed to the difference in raw materials and extraction techniques. However, FAO suggests that the protein content of pectin should not be higher than 15.6 g/100 g [24]. In addition, EPP showed good values in functional features such as waterholding capacity (WHC) and oil-holding capacity (OHC).…”

“…Pectin is widely used in the food industry as an excellent thickener agent for producing jellies and jams, a pH stabilizer in dairy products and low-calorie products, and an emulsifier in pharmaceutics for the design of drugs to treat gastrointestinal disorders, blood cholesterol reduction, and cancer treatment as well as good former of edible films and coatings, foams, and paper substitutes [17,24]. Because of the functional properties of pectins, both LM and HM, many applications in food, industrial, and pharmaceutic sectors can be considered (Figure 2).…”

Utilization of Pectin in the Food and Drug Industries

One of the most important polysaccharides in the vegetal kingdom is pectin. This class of natural polysaccharide is found primarily in citrus fruits and apple pomace. Pectin has been used in different sectors of the industry, among which the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and paper industries stand out. Today, there is a growing demand for this type of hydrocolloid, where both the scientific and industrial fields have focused on using new sources of pectin and developing novel extraction methods. This chapter describes the chemical structure of pectin and its main chemical characteristics. Then, the conventional sources from which pectin is obtained are exposed as well as its main industrial applications. Subsequently, the physicochemical and functional properties of pectins obtained from unconventional sources are described and analyzed as well as the main technologies used for their extraction. Finally, the most recent advances in the role played by pectin in the industrial sector are described.

“…There is an imperative need to find new or unconventional sources of food, nutrients, and micronutrients (Alpizar-Reyes et al, 2022;Franco-Vásquez et al, 2023). One of the most demanded inputs in the food industry is the use of edible oils, especially those that provide unsaturated fatty acids.…”
