Nanocomposite film of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) incorporated with bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNCs) and magnetite nanoparticles (Fe3O4) is reported in this study. The BCNC-Fe3O4 PVA was prepared by situ synthesis technique using chemical co-precipitation. Different concentrations (20%, 40% 60% w/w) were mechanically dispersed solution to form the nanocomposite film. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis showed irregular particle sizes ranging from 4.93 30.44 nm an average...
In this study, cellulose was obtained from sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and treated with xylanase to remove residual noncellulosic polymers (hemicellulose lignin) improve its dyeability. The fibers were dyed natural dye solutions extracted the heart wood of Ceasalpinia sappan Linn. Artocarpus heterophyllus Lam. Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Raman analysis, whiteness index (WI) indicated successful extraction by eliminating hemicellulose lignin. FTIR analysis confirmed...
In this study, nanocomposite film was fabricated using cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) as nanofiller in a polymer matrix of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and gum tragacanth (GT) via solution casting. CNCs were extracted from sugarcane bagasse steam explosion technique followed by acid hydrolysis. Initial analysis transmission electron microscopy (TEM) showed nanosized particles 104 nm length 7 width. Physical chemical characteristics neat PVA, PVA/GT, PVA/GT/CNC films with varying concentrations...
The pursuit of renewable and eco-friendly raw materials for biobased is a growing field. This study utilized ellagitannin cellulose microfibrils derived from rambutan peel waste alongside gelatin to develop eco-conscious hydrogels. cellulose/gelatin hydrogels were formulated in two weight ratios (0.5:1 1:1), the influence on chemical composition rheology was studied. Composite hydrogels, functionalized with an ellagitannin-rich extract, exhibited remarkable enhancement up 14-fold compressive...
This study extracted ellagitannins from rambutan peel using the Soxhlet technique. The extract was further partitioned and fractionated to get rich in ellagitannin geraniin, respectively. partitioning of significantly increased total phenolic content (TPC) by 36.3% its biological properties. Mineral elements such as Ca, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, Mg, Mn, Na, Ni, Zn were identified both extract. Ellagitannins geraniin corilagin with metabolites (gallic acid ellagic acid) major compounds. Analysis...
Agroindustrial wastes are renewable sources and the most promising sustainable alternative to lignocellulosic biomass for cellulose production. This study assessed electrothermal pretreatment of rambutan peel (RP) producing fibers. The was carried out by Ohmic heating at a solid-to-liquid ratio 1:10 (w/v) in water/ethanol (1:1, v/v) mixture as electrical transmission medium 60 ± 1 °C different holding times (15, 30, min). did not significantly influence total fiber yield various times....
Municipal waste management has been of major concern to many developing countries and is presently one the subjects under discussion due rapid industrialization population growth. Most these municipal wastes have potential being recycled use in crop production. They are gradually becoming a problem Ghana instead used for purposes benefit human kind. In this study, dried faecal sludge co-compost was as an organic fertilizer cultivate cabbage lettuce assess its effects on their microbial load...
