Albumin-based nanocarrier systems are increasingly gaining attention in cancer treatment due to their biocompatibility, long circulation times, and tumour-specific targeting capabilities. Albumin nanocarriers can be naturally taken up into tumour tissue via gp60 and SPARC-mediated mechanisms. Three-dimensional tumour models and in vivo studies demonstrate that albumin nanocarriers distribute...
The potential of fluorescence spectroscopy was assessed to study cow, goat, sheep and yak meat. Meat samples were taken from muscles, viz. Gluteus medius (GM), Longissimus dorsi (LD) and Semitendinosus (ST). The moisture, fat and protein content of meat samples were measured. The emission fluorescence spectra of tryptophan (305–500 nm), riboflavin (410–700 nm) and vitamin A (340–540) were...
Ensuring food and nutrition security remains a major challenge in Kyrgyzstan, where 40% of the population cannot afford adequate nutrition, 70% of children under five lack minimally diverse diets, and 47% suffer from micronutrient deficiencies, especially iron. Meanwhile, non-communicable diseases account for up to 80% of deaths (WHO, 2019), highlighting the urgent need for healthier dietary...
The incorporation of insect-based protein into muffins is a growing trend in the food industry due to the demand for sustainable and nutritious options. Insect proteins provide a robust nutritional profile, encompassing high-quality protein, and essential amino acids, making them an appealing substitute for conventional protein sources. This research aimed to analyze the chemical composition,...
