A facile and rapid approach to immobilize nano-sized titanium dioxide (TiO2) using a renewable biopolymer (i.e. alginate) has been successfully demonstrated. TiO2 exhibits positively charged surface in acidic environment due the presence of hydroxyl groups. Meanwhile, alginate polymer is negatively at any pH carboxylic group chain. The formed composite instantaneously when was introduced into nanoparticles suspension. TiO2-alginate (TiO2-A) photocatalyst characterized thermogravimetric...
Abstract Polyphenols, the most abundant and naturally occurring antioxidants, was found to be highest in Dacryodes rostrata seed as compared peel pulp of fruit. Growing technologies past decades have led interest reviewing developing environmental-friendly green extraction solvent, commonly used conventional solvent imposing various risks human health environment. An technique established using deep eutectic (DES) alternative has been considered. The main objective this study analyse...
Abstract The purpose of this research is to characterize and explore the feasibility deep eutectic solvent‐based aqueous two‐phase system (DES‐ATPS) for its potential application in extraction purification anthocyanins. Various combinations molar ratios DES using choline chloride as hydrogen bond acceptor (HBA) butanediol (BDO), ethylene glycol (EG), lactic acid (LA) donor (HBD) were synthesized, screened, investigated on physicochemical properties. binodal phase diagrams developed basis...
Abstract Anthropogenic activities often result in varying degrees of lakewater contamination. Conventional treatment processes require expansive space allocation which could be challenging under certain topographical situations. A greenwall filtration system is a vertical wall that consists plants or greenery. In this system, greenery planted growing medium made up combination soil, stone, water. robust serve as potential solution for treatment. However, the efficacy various filtering media...
Abstract Rosmarinic acid (RA) is a phenolic compound known for its remarkable antioxidant, antiallergic, antimicrobial, anticarcinogenic and anti‐inflammatory properties, making it highly valuable diverse industrial applications such as medicine formulation, cosmetic production food additives. This study focused on the green extraction of RA antioxidants from Salvia officinalis L. using deep eutectic solvents (DESs). Various DESs were prepared choline chloride (ChCl) sole hydrogen bond...
Abstract Improper drying is one of the major causes beneficial bioactive compounds' degradation in bio‐crops together with high energy consumption. Preservation compounds crucial retaining bioactivities herbs diverse industrial applications. Continuous microwave (CMD), despite being effective and efficient, has not merged industry as process intensification due to challenges overheating. This study investigates application intermittent (IMD) on rosemary its compounds, address issues...
The risk of global water crisis is becoming more evident due to the increase in overall urban population and reduction freshwater availability. Treated greywater using greenwall technology was identified as a potential method produce for non-potable applications. filtering media acts growing plants filtration medium. In this study, pollutant removal efficiency environmental impacts associated with two medias (coir pith perlite) were investigated. coir found have higher efficiencies both COD...
Dacryodes rostrata belongs to the family Burseraceae which possess promising antioxidant, anti-carcinogenic and anti-plasmodial properties due presence of active phytochemicals such as flavonoids, phenolics anthocyanins. This research mainly focused on optimization extraction conditions peel maximize yield specific anthocyanin extracted, total content (TAC) antioxidant capacity. The (pH, temperature, time, ethanol concentration liquid solid ratio) were optimized using Box- Behnken Design. A...
Abstract It is a concern when 90% of Malaysia’s water supply comes from lakes that hold moderate to bad quality status. Greenwalls are sustainable modern-day filtration system proves be solution in tackling this lakewater issue. To date, there still questions unanswered regarding the treatment performance greenwall used for as most research conducted related greywater terms quality. Thus, aims investigate effects different plant species, filter media ratio and flowrate on system. In work....
Anthocyanins are said to possess antidiabetic, anticancer, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and anti-obesity effects. There is lot of emphasis placed on the improvement methods for extracting anthocyanins; one which being extraction via aqueous two-phase systems (ATPS). Aqueous system a liquid-liquid method that has many benefits like easy scale up with high recovery yield. However, ATPS also drawbacks as it utilizes organic solvents low biodegradability ionic liquid. In this context,...
Eucalyptus Deglupta is one of the medicinal plants from Myrtaceae family that exhibits promising antioxidant activity in comparison to commercial Butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA). As a result, isolation bioactive compounds has become priorities. It this perspective our study was undertaken with objective optimise hybrid drying conditions leaves increase yield total phenolic content (TPC). The optimisation performed using Central composite experimental design (CCD) evaluate effect four...
