Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 1, Page 256-272, January 2026.ABSTRACT Plant systems have gained increased attention as an alternative platform for producing heterologous proteins, particularly for industrially relevant proteins. The Cynara cardunculus L. flower extract is traditionally used in cheese production across Mediterranean countries due to its milk‐clotting properties.

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.Wolffia is a superfood. It is a fantastic source of alternative protein and is one of the aquatic food plants of the future. The determination of the optimum conditions for extracting protein hydrolysate from fresh Wolffia using bromelain revealed that a bromelain concentration of 0.75% (w/w), a digestion time of 6 h, and a digestion temperature of 55 ...

Collagen processing and cuticle formation is catalysed by the astacin metalloprotease DPY-31 in free-living and parasitic nematodes [PDF]
, 2010 The exoskeleton or cuticle performs many key roles in the development and survival of all nematodes. This structure is predominantly collagenous in nature and requires numerous enzymes to properly fold, modify, process and cross-link these essential ...
