Forests have an important role in mitigating greenhouse gasses and global climate warming by storing carbon. Carbon is locked trees through photosynthesis, which contributes around 50% of the dry mass wood. Therefore, wood critical for maximizing carbon capture storage nature. In this mini-review, emerging technologies development products toward extended are overviewed. Novel functional wood-based materials capturing CO2 discussed including biochar membranes/adsorbents. The nanotechnologies...
Antilisterial efficiency of three bacteriocins, viz, Nisin, Pediocin 34 and Enterocin FH99 was tested individually in combination against Listeria mononcytogenes ATCC 53135. A greater antibacterial effect observed when the bacteriocins were combined pairs, indicating that use more than one LAB bacteriocin have a higher action used individually. Variants monocytogenes 53135 resistant to developed. Bacteriocin cross-resistance wild type their corresponding variants assessed results showed...
Red grape pomace was used as a source for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production, which then subject to range of purification processes. The different PHB biopolymers were characterized chemical structure, crystallinity, thermal properties, colour, release compounds into food simulants and antioxidant inhibition, comparisons made with commercially available PHB. An increase in steps did not have significant effect on the high stability extracted biopolymer, but it decreased degree...
Abstract The most commonly applied methods for the treatment of used adsorbents is to recover them in acid/alkaline medium or direct enflame them. This work dealt with a new potential and economic method utilize waste adsorbent. Poly(AAc/AM/SH) superabsorbent hydrogels have proved be good adsorbent Cu 2+ ions after adsorption were recovered acid medium. In this report, ion adsorbed hydrogel has not undergone any regeneration process directly phosphate adsorption. ions‐loaded poly(AAc/AM/SH)...
Essential oils were screened for their antifungal activity against common wood inhabiting fungi. Subsequently, two pure essential oil extracts, eugenol and cinnamaldehyde, evaluated efficacy on radiata pine durability. During the in vitro screening trial, variability tolerance of tested fungi towards selected was apparent. However, durability test confirmed cinnamaldehyde but highlighted leaching (when exposed to wet conditions) these compounds from treated wood. Blocks with 3% w/v without...
This study reports for the first time fingerprinting extractives analysis of indigenous wood species Podocarpus totara from New Zealand, Eucalyptus saligna Australia and Pinus radiata imported California, USA grown in Zealand. We evaluated use analytical techniques discrimination. compared chemical extractive compounds obtained using traditional chromatographic with direct real-time–time flight-mass spectrometry (DART-TOF-MS) auxiliary chemometrics principal component analysis. The wet...
Abstract The increasing production of protein-rich waste, primarily from the household and food industries, associated with growing global population has imposed a negative environmental burden on society at large. Protein waste is international concern, more unsegregated released developing countries. This work explored sorption behavior amorphous plant extract Humulus lupulus , towards bovine serum albumin as representative model protein. adsorbed proteins analyzed using scanning electron...
Abstract Chitosan, a polymer of D-glucosamine, is known for its antimicrobial activity. However, the physicochemical properties chitosan depend upon three principal factors, i.e., source raw material, molecular weight and degree deacetylation. Here, synthesis characterization oligomers reported, which were prepared by nitrous acid deaminative depolymerization obtained from Sigma Aldrich China (industrial grade). Subsequently, their antifungal activities evaluated against selected...
