To further simplify the pretreatment process in high solid loading on the premise of reducing the consumption of chemical reagent and energy, an effective one step mechanochemical (combines wet ultrafine grinding (WUG) with alkaline hydrogen peroxide (AHP)) composite pretreatment (CP) method for corn stover was developed. This new method could be performed at room temperature with low H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> dosages (0.05–0.15 g/g corn stover) and short processing time (0.5–0.1 h). The CP pretreatment removed lignin and acetyl groups, disrupted the cell structure of corn stover, effectively superimpose the enhancement effects of AHP and WUG. Its optimized enzymatic glucose yield was 254.23 g/kg with a low H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> dosage (0.10 g/g corn stover) and grinding time (0.5 h). The single pretreatment of WUG and AHP at the same condition could only achieve a glucose yield of 163.85 g/kg and 132.76 g/kg, respectively. The quantitative linear regression equation between cellulose content and enzymatic glucose yield (GY) for the CP pretreatment was found to be: GY= 31.78 × cellulose content - 979.40. The slope was higher than that for AHP pretreatment (23.26). This suggests that CP pretreatment with low H<sub>2</sub>O<sub>2</sub> doses can improve the efficiency of enzymatic saccharification.","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, WPC still has some deficiencies, such as flame retardancy, aging resistance, and antimicrobial properties, which need to be further improved in some demanding industries. The wood fibers in WPC are flammable and have poor aging resistance, and the poor compatibility in the multiphase structure of WPC can lead to fungal or bacterial attack, which can degrade and ultimately damage its mechanical properties, so it is important to improve its flame retardancy, aging resistance, and antimicrobial properties to prolong its life. Therefore, it is crucial to improve its flame retardancy, aging resistance and antimicrobial properties to extend its outdoor service life. In this paper, the commonly used flame retardants, anti-aging agents and antimicrobial agents for WPC and their mechanisms of action are reviewed.","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"4 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142789945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Calcium chloride (CaCl<sub>2</sub>) was added to the rubber latex formulations at concentrations of 0, 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 wt% to enhance their chemical, mechanical, and physical properties. The formation and characteristics of the rubber gloves and transdermal patch films were evaluated using standard testing methods. Calcium chloride, an inorganic compound composed of calcium ions (Ca<sup>2 +</sup>) and chloride ions (Cl<sup>-</sup>) with a pH of 2–3, proved highly effective in influencing the isoelectric point of the rubber latex compounds. It reduced the isoelectric point from −68.1 mV to −45 mV, maintaining it within the range conductive to stable film formation. Furthermore, it adjusted the pH of the rubber latex compounds from 10.5 to a range of 5.89–6.29 on the surface of the rubber film. Additionally, it facilitated ionic crosslinking between calcium ions and carboxylate groups on the particulate surface of natural rubber latex. These adjustments led to gradual improvements in tensile strength, elongation at break, and maximum stress of the dipped films, while simultaneously reducing water-extractable proteins. To further optimize the process, a small amount of Terric 16 A-16 was incorporated into the inorganic solution. This addition shortened coagulation time, particularly for synthetic rubber latex compound, and improved the physical properties of natural rubber latex. The resulting films were smooth, thin, and free of surface porosity. A key advantage of this study is the elimination of the need for a coagulant coating on the ceramic mold surface, achieved through a one-step dipping process. This innovation significantly reduces costs, processing time, and waste.","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142788507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Dedicated biomass crops that grow with high yields with low cost and greenhouse gas emissions (hemp, biomass sorghum, and sunn hemp) were integrated with the cultivation of conventional food crops to recover agricultural residues (wheat straw, corn stover). These feedstocks with low indirect land use change risk were subjected to a biorefinery approach for the production of advanced ethanol from cellulosic and hemicellulosic sugars and co-production of lignin. The processing steps included tandem pre-extraction and acetone organosolv fractionation, followed by enzymatic hydrolysis of the obtained cellulose-enriched pulp (producing mainly C6 sugars), detoxification of hemicellulose hydrolysate (mainly C5 sugars) and fermentation of C5 and C6 sugars to ethanol. High recovery of cellulose in the pulp (87–100 %), C5 oligomeric and monomeric sugars in the hydrolysate (80–90 %) and isolated lignin (72–84 %) showed that process efficiency can be maintained across the various types of feedstocks. The ethanol production titres and productivity obtained by fermentation by <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em> yeast on the C6 sugar enzymatic hydrolysates were robust and similar to those values obtained on model glucose substrate. C5 sugar hydrolysates after detoxification and evaporation were readily converted to ethanol with <em>Spathaspora passalidarum</em> CBS 10155. Sunn hemp and hemp feedstocks showed both less optimal enzymatic digestibility of cellulosic pulps and lower ethanol production rates from their hemicellulose hydrolysates. The present work shows the applicability of the aforementioned biorefinery approach for the production of advanced ethanol with a diverse set of lignocellulosic feedstocks obtained from an integrated food and bioenergy production system based on rotating crops. It also highlights that the most critical processing steps for process monitoring and optimisation are the pulp enzymatic hydrolysis of pulps and the detoxification of the C5 sugar hydrolysates.","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142782790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(hop cones) have significant applications both in food and pharmaceutical industries. The effectiveness of these applications depends on the extraction methods used, which can vary in the yield and metabolite profile of the extract. This study focuses on the development of green solvent extraction methods in order to adapt the process to industrial-scale extraction in other plant species. Four extraction techniques were employed, including maceration (simple maceration (SM) and triphasic-SE), ultrasound (UAE), high pressure (PLE), microwaves (MAE). Two of them were also combined (UAE+SM). Ethanol and a combination of ethanol and water were mostly used. Triphasic extraction was performed with classical solvents. The results were compared in term of yield, total assays (polyphenols, flavonoids, and chlorophylls), metabolite profile, LC-MS/MS quantification, and molecular networking. UAE led to high yield with reduced extraction time compared to maceration, and this result was further amplified with pressure-assisted extraction (PLE) with a 3- and 6-fold increase in yield and time reduction, respectively. The yields were correlated with higher quantities of molecules of interest, such as α/β acids, polyphenols, and flavonoids. For instance, the MAE and PLE techniques provided high content of flavonoids and polyphenols (2 and 3-fold), xanthohumol (6 and 4-fold) compared to SE. The use of alternative extraction methods alone or coupled significantly improved the yields and contents. LC-MS/MS allowed for the monitoring of various metabolite concentrations, which were also found in molecular networks, and that facilitating the selection of the most appropriate technique. A descriptive statistical analysis was used to provide a global vision between the different extractive methods and determine the best experimental conditions. Among the various treatments tested, the global desirabilities from 65.5 % and 77.4 % were achieved with PLE followed by UAE-B+SM (64.5 %).

However, information regarding whether straw-derived artificial humic acid exhibits similar functionalities is unclear. Rice straw-derived artificial humic acid (A-HA) was synthesized via hydrothermal reaction, and A-HA-enhanced urea (A-HAU) was prepared. The impact of A-HAU on urea conversion and ammonia volatilization was investigated through soil incubation in four representative Chinese soils: calcareous meadow soil (CMS), black soil (BS), lime concretion black soil (LCBS), and red earth soil (RES). Multispectral characterization techniques were employed to elucidate the effect mechanism of A-HA on urea hydrolysis and ammonia volatilization. The A-HAU application significantly decreased ammonia volatilization from urea by 10.76 %, 30.64 %, 14.87 %, and 27.17 % in CMS, BS, LCBS, and RES soils, respectively, compared to conventional urea application. The mitigation of ammonia volatilization losses for CMS, BS, and LCBS soils was associated with the inhibition of urease activity and delayed urea hydrolysis; however, for RES soil, it was correlated with the attenuation of soil pH increase. The inhibitory effect of A-HAU on urease activity can be attributed to the ability of A-HA to react with the sulfhydryl groups of urease, resulting in reduced urease activity. Moreover, A-HA could react with urea during A-HAU production, which was also beneficial in retarding urea hydrolysis. Overall, A-HA for humic acid-enhanced urea production effectively mitigated urea-N volatilization losses, offering a novel approach to improve straw resource utilization and providing an additional option for urea synergist development.","PeriodicalId":13581,"journal":{"name":"Industrial Crops and Products","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2024-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142782788","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

TIFY proteins regulate plant growth and respond to adverse conditions in higher plants. However, little information is available regarding the functions of the TIFY family genes in <em>J. curcas</em>. In this research, 14 members of the JcTIFY family were identified in <em>J. curcas</em> at the genome-wide level. These members belong to four subfamilies: jasmonate-ZIM-domain (JAZ), ZIM/ZIM-like, PEAPOD, and TIFY, and they are distributed across seven linkage groups. The TIFY proteins, consisting of 135–458 amino acids, are all hydrophilic and are predicted to be located in the nucleus. Although members of the same branch have different exon-intron structures, they share similar conserved domains and motif compositions. Protein interaction predictions indicate that TIFY proteins can form dimers and are involved in the jasmonic acid and ethylene signaling pathways. The role of TIFY in the growth of <em>J. curcas</em> was demonstrated by the analysis of cis-acting elements and expression of TIFY under various conditions and tissues. Furthermore, RT-qPCR analysis revealed that chilling stress and methyl jasmonate significantly induced the expression of JcJAZs, particularly JcTIFY5B. Yeast two-hybrid analysis revealed clear interactions between JcJAZs. Luciferase complementation and yeast two-hybrid assays demonstrated that JcTIFY10 formed a homodimer both <em>in vivo</em> and <em>in vitro</em>. JcJAZ proteins can form heterodimers with other proteins of the same family, and some proteins can form homodimers via the TIFY domain.
