AB  - The main goal of this study was to examine the efficiency of a newly isolated fungus from quince, Aspergillus tubingensis FAT43, to produce the pectinolytic complex using agricultural and industrial waste as the substrate for solid state fermentation. Sugar beet pulp was the most effective substrate inducer of pectinolytic complex synthesis out of all the waste residues examined. For endo-pectinolytic and total pectinolytic activity, respectively, statistical optimization using Placked-Burman Design and Optimal (Custom) Design increased production by 2.22 and 2.15-fold, respectively. Liquification, clarification, and an increase in the amount of reducing sugar in fruit juices (apple, banana, apricot, orange, and quince) processed with pectinolytic complex were identified. Enzymatic pre-treatment considerably increases yield (14%–22%) and clarification (90%). After enzymatic treatment, the best liquefaction was observed in orange juice, whereas the best clarification was obtained in apricot juice. Additionally, the pectinolytic treatment of apricot juice resulted in the highest increase in reducing sugar concentration (11%) compared to all other enzymatically treated juices. Optimizing the production of a highly active pectinolytic complex and its efficient utilization in the processing of fruit juices, including the generation of an increasing amount of waste, are the significant outcomes of this research.

AB  - Finding a pollen substitute for honey bees that is nutritionally adequate and affordable is a scientific and practical challenge. We attempted a new rational approach and tried to exploit honey bees’ natural cannibalistic behavior. We tested processed insect larvae as a food source that is nutritionally similar to bee brood, and which can easily be produced on a large scale. In cage experiments, monitoring bee mortality, food consumption and changes in bee body parts’ weights showed that flour obtained by grinding dried yellow mealworm larvae has the potential to become an excellent component for pollen substitution. Bees from the cage group fed Tenebrio molitor patties (TG) demonstrated overall best results in comparison to sugar patties fed bee group (CG), yeast patties fed bee group (YG) and pollen patties fed bee group (PG). They did not lose weight as rapidly as the CG, did not defecate inside cages as the YG, nor show increased mortality as the PG. At the same time, TG consumed less food (mean 13.7 g/cage) than CG (16.8 g/cage), YG (20.4 g/cage) and PG (23.9 g/cage) within the period of 28 days. Bees’ gut increase in weight was lowest in the CG, followed by TG and PG and was the highest in the YG which resulted in diarrhea after 14 days. Bees from TG did not lag behind other bees in head, thorax and abdomen weight after 28 days. We demonstrated that processed yellow mealworm larvae (T. molitor) can be used as an ingredient for honey bee feed.

AB  - The combination ofb-oligosaccharides from enzymatically hydrolysed barleyb-glucan has attracted inter-est recently due to its positive effects on human health. This study aimed to assess the impact of theendo-b-1,3-1,4-glucanase enzyme fromBacillus  subtilis168 on improving the nutritional and bioactiveproperties of barleyb-glucan. A new procedure for the isolation ofb-glucan was developed, at a lowertemperature (45°C), enabling purity from starch contamination, without affecting the yield (6 gb-glucanfrom 100 g of barley flour). The endo-b-1,3-1,4-glucanase is cloned intoE. colipQE_Ek enables the highproduction and purification (82% yield, 1.8 mg mL 1and 440 U mg 1) of an enzyme identical to thenatural one (25.5 kDa). The enzymatic reaction showed high efficiency ofb-glucan degradation by recom-binant enzyme, giving a mixture of products (of which 3-O-b-cellobiosyl-D-glucose and 3-O-b-cellotriosyl-D-glucose are the most abundant), the reduction of viscosity (17%) and increase in antioxidant capacitiesby 15.2%, 30.9% and 44.0% assessed by ABTS, DPPH and ORAC, respectively. These results indicatethe possible application of endo-b-1,3-1,4-glucanase enzyme in improving the properties of barleyb-glucan used as functional foods.

AB  - Production of fructooligosaccharides (FOS) is a trending topic due to their prebiotic effect becoming increasingly important for the modern human diet. The most suitable process for FOS production is the one using fungal inulinases. Introduction of new fungal inulinase producers and their implementation in production of inulinase enzymes is therefore gaining interest. This study provides a new approach to FOS synthesis by fungal enzyme complex without prior separation of any specific enzyme. Inulinase enzyme complexes could be used for the synthesis of FOS in two possible ways – hydrolysis of inulin (FOSh) and transfructosylation process of sucrose (FOSs), as demonstrated here. Depending on the fungal growth inducing substrate, a variety of inulinase enzyme complexes was obtained – one of which was most successful in production of FOSh and another one of FOSs. Substrates derived from crops: triticale, wheat bran, Jerusalem artichoke and Aspergillus welwitschiae isolate, previously proven as safe for use in food, were utilized for production of inulinase enzyme cocktails. The highest FOSs production was obtained by enzyme complex rich in β-fructofuranosidase, while the highest FOSh production was obtained by enzyme complex rich in endoinulinase. Both FOSh and FOSs showed antioxidant potential according to ABTS and ORAC, which classifies them as a suitable additive in functional food. Simultaneous zymographic detection of inulinase enzymes, which could contribute to expansion of the knowledge on fungal enzymes, was developed and applied here. It demonstrated the presence of different inulinase isoforms depending on fungal growth substrate. These findings, which rely on the innate ability of fungi to co-produce all inulinases from a cocktail, could be useful as a new, easy approach to FOS production by fungal enzymes without their separation and purification, contributing to cheaper and faster production processes.

AB  - Pectinases are widely used in the fruit juice industry for clarification, liquefaction and stabilization of juices1. One of the biggest problems in the production of fruit juices is the turbidity of the juice, which is mainly caused by the presence of pectin polysaccharides. Therefore, pectinase is used in juice clarification, which breaks down the pectin structure and reduces unwanted cloudiness and sediment2. In this work, the production of pectinases was optimized by solid state fermentation using Aspergillus tubingensis strain, which proved to be an efficient producer of these enzymes. Statistical method Design of Experiment was used to optimize the medium and conditions for enzyme production. The total pectinase activity obtained was determined by the DNS method (47 U/mL). Endo-pectinases activity is determined by reduction of viscosity of pectin solutions. The resulting complex of pectinase enzymes was used for the liquefaction of apricot and blueberry pulp, with a juice yield of 72% and 81%, respectively. Also, apricot juice treated with enzymes was clarified by 77% compared to juice that was not treated with enzymes. Blueberry juice obtained after treatment with pectinase enzymes has a higher antioxidant activity than the untreated juice, as determined by the DPPH assay.

abstract = "Pectinases are widely used in the fruit juice industry for clarification, liquefaction and stabilization of juices1. One of the biggest problems in the production of fruit juices is the turbidity of the juice, which is mainly caused by the presence of pectin polysaccharides. Therefore, pectinase is used in juice clarification, which breaks down the pectin structure and reduces unwanted cloudiness and sediment2. In this work, the production of pectinases was optimized by solid state fermentation using Aspergillus tubingensis strain, which proved to be an efficient producer of these enzymes. Statistical method Design of Experiment was used to optimize the medium and conditions for enzyme production. The total pectinase activity obtained was determined by the DNS method (47 U/mL). Endo-pectinases activity is determined by reduction of viscosity of pectin solutions. The resulting complex of pectinase enzymes was used for the liquefaction of apricot and blueberry pulp, with a juice yield of 72% and 81%, respectively. Also, apricot juice treated with enzymes was clarified by 77% compared to juice that was not treated with enzymes. Blueberry juice obtained after treatment with pectinase enzymes has a higher antioxidant activity than the untreated juice, as determined by the DPPH assay.",

AB  - There is an urgent need to increase the daily intake of insoluble dietary fiber, and at the same time to find new sources and new production technologies. We hypothesized that fungal enzymes directly involved in lignocellulosic material hydrolysis (Aspergillus and Trichoderma enzyme cocktails) will change the fiber structure particularly efficiently after the action of laccase (Trametes versicolor enzyme cocktail). Enzymes production on an inducing substrate (same as starting material for obtainment of insoluble dietary fibers) and their usage resulted in obtainment of novel insoluble dietary fibers with better characteristics, 24% higher swelling, 43% higher WRC and 57% higher ORC compared to insoluble dietary fibers from triticale (already proven to be a good food additive). Changes in structure were analyzed by FTIR and microscopic analysis. Antioxidative performance of the obtained products, new insoluble and released soluble dietary fibers, was analyzed in detail. Newly obtained soluble dietary fibers demonstrated up to 20 times higher antioxidant activity compared to untreated fibers (ABTS and DPPH tests). These results suggest their good performance as a future food additive. At the same time, they prove the hypothesis that the use of enzyme cocktails rich in laccase is a good choice for biological pretreatment in this process.
