Many of the low-income countries rely heavily on agriculture as one of the most important sectors in their economy. The outcome of the agriculture sector is affected by the weather and climate, meaning that their economic growth and food security is sensitive to even a slight change in the pattern of the weather and climate. Hence these countries, more specifically small-scale farmers in low-income countries, are the most vulnerable group to the effect of global warming and climate change. [1]. In

pepsin, the powerful enzyme in gastric juice that digests proteins such as those in meat, eggs, seeds, or dairy products. Pepsin was first recognized in 1836 by the German physiologist Theodor Schwann. In 1930 it was crystallized and its protein nature established by John H. Northrop of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research. Glands in the mucous-membrane lining of the stomach make and store an inactive protein called pepsinogen.

gel permeation chromatography, GPC/SEC analysis were performed by eluting THF solutions of the polymeric samples at 30 ºC (Waters oven) in two PolyPore columns (protected by a PolyPore guard column) (Polymer Labs) mounted on a Waters 1515 isocratic HPLC pump. Detection was performed by a Waters 2414 differential refractive index detector. The THF eluent was filtered through 0.45 µm PTFE Pall membrane filters and degassed in an ultrasound bath. Solution samples were filtered through 0.20 µm PTFE GVS
