The accumulation of micro/nanoplastics (MNPs) in ecosystems poses tremendous environmental risks for terrestrial and aquatic organisms. Designing rapid, field-deployable, sensitive devices assessing the potential MNPs pollution is critical. However, current techniques detection have limited effectiveness. Here, we design a wireless portable device that allows sensitive, on-site MNPs, followed by remote data processing via machine learning algorithms quantitative fluorescence imaging. We...
Abstract Pearl millet, known for its adaptability to challenging agro‐climatic conditions, emerges as a valuable candidate biopolymer‐based packaging. The AHB 1200 cultivar, distinguished by high starch content, provides reliable source biopolymer extraction. conversion of pearl millet into nanoparticles acid hydrolysis represents cutting‐edge method enhance biopolymeric materials. inclusion these nanoparticle concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 5%, and 10%) the film results in improved mechanical...
The fact that there is an accumulation of micro-and nano-plastics (MNPs) in ecosystems which poses tremendous environmental risks for terrestrial and aquatic organisms undeniable. Thus, designing improved rapid, field-deployable, sensitive analytical devices can assess the potential MNPs pollution critical. Since current techniques detection have limited effectiveness, we sought to design a wireless portable device will allow sensitive, on-site MNPs. Coupling this capacity with remote data...
Abstract The amylose content in native starch is reduced through hydrolysis, impacting its physicochemical properties. Starch nanoparticles exhibit enhanced water and oil absorption capacities, attributed to increased hydrolysis subsequently higher solubility. Moreover, the swelling power of notably higher, indicating improved functionality. Pasting properties are altered, with peak viscosity, breakdown setback viscosity modified starches. Dynamic light scattering reveals a significant...

This study aims to investigate the physical stability, droplet size distribution, zeta potential, and antimicrobial properties of nanoemulsions formulated with betel leaf extract using β-cyclodextrin (CD) sodium alginate (SA) biopolymers. Nanoemulsions exhibit superior stability at lower temperatures, limited strong electrostatic repulsion. Morphological images demonstrate successful encapsulation within both biopolymers, highlighting their potential for applications. Both CD SA display...
