In silico prediction and structural characterization of multifunctional bioactive peptides released from olive proteins

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Olive (Olea europaea L.) byproducts, such as seeds and leaves, are abundant agro‐industrial residues and represent underexplored protein sources with potential health relevance. However, the repertoire of bioactive peptides that may be released from olive proteins during gastrointestinal digestion remains poorly characterized.

Removal of Drugs from Hospital Wastewater by Photodegradation

Medical Technologies Journal, 2020
Background: Hospital wastewater (WWs) represents a particular type of effluent, compared with urban wastewater. Hospitals generate on average 750 L of wastewater by the bed and by day so they are 2-5 times higher than urban flow rates, which refer to one inhabitant equivalent (typically included in the interval 120-250 L).
