PHBV active packaging was produced by thermoforming. In contact with acqueous and fatty food simulants, almost 30% of the initial gallic acid was released into food simulants A (10% ethanol), and D1 (50% ehtanol), where it showed a radical inhibition value (I%) reaching 68±0.1% and 77±0.1% respectively, while no release was observed in food simulant D2 (isooctane). In addition, the active films displayed an O2 scanvenger capacity of 120 mg O2g-1 GA at room temperature, after 10 days of storage. Models showed a good fitting to experimental data. The PHBV active packaging combining both antiradical and oxygen scavenger activities, is very promising for food protection. However, some improvements are still needed to enhance its oxygen barrier capacity and to meet the reglementation.","PeriodicalId":19542,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry eJournal","volume":"19 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79515721","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, BC was prepared through pyrolysis of pine leaves (moisture content 78.09 %) at 750 o C over 3 h in nitrogen environment. GO was synthesized through modification in Hammer’s method. Formation of BC and GO was ascertained through Fourier transform infrared, Raman and X-ray diffraction spectra. Working electrodes (WE) were fabricated from BC (WE BC ) and GO (WE GO ) in presence of hydroxy methyl propyl cellulose as binder and their morphologies were compared through scanning electron microscopy. WE were electrochemically analyzed through cyclic voltammetry (CV), electrochemical impedance spectra (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization in KOH (2.0 M). CV @ 0.005 V/s in potential window of -0.71 V to -0.21 V reveals 390.4 F/g of Cs of WE GO that was 24.49 % improved over WE BC .

This research aimed at biosynthesis, characterization and preliminary evaluation of the antibacterial properties of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) from the back extract of Annona senegalensisis. The bark of Annona senegalensis was scraped from the stem, washed, air-dried, pulverised and extracted. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis was carried out on the synthesized AgNPs. The AgNPs synthesized was also characterized with UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV), scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy to ascertain the physico-chemical and morphological properties of the AgNPs. The antimicrobial investigation was carried out following standard method. The observation of colour change (pale yellow to dark brown) during the synthesis and maximum absorbance at wavelength 431.19nm in the UV spectrum confirmed the formation of AgNPs. The FTIR analysis showed that the biomolecules responsible for the reduction of silver ion contain O-H functional groups. The electron microscopy studies indicated that the AgNPS are spherical in shape with nanoparticles sizes of 11- 24.76nm. EDX analysis showed that the AgNPs contain high amount of silver and few other elements. The antimicrobial study showed high zones of inhibition 22.75-33.75 against tested bacteria. The simplicity of the synthesis of AgNPs from the extract of the stem bark of Annona senegalensis is and relatively high zones of inhibitions shown by the AgNPs are strong evidences of the possible application of Annona senegalensis is in the synthesis of novel therapeutic agent against infections from bacteria and fungi.","PeriodicalId":19542,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry eJournal","volume":"8 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85040482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

For this purpose, various end-capped and bridged-core modifications have been carried-out to construct a suitable molecule best fitted for solar cell applications. Herein, we have designed a small-molecule based fullerene-free acceptor materials (IOD1-IOD7) for organic solar cells (OSCs) by doing end-capped modifications, and characterized them theoretically by employing various quantum chemical density functional theory (DFT) and time-dependent (DFT) approaches. The specific key features of the designed materials (IOD1-IOD7) essential for the solar cell applications have been estimated by investigating their absorption maxima, reorganization energy and open-circuit voltages (Voc) values. The other key parameters such as, electronic structures, frontier molecular orbitals, exciton binding energy, and charge transfer phenomenon has also been studied theoretically. The outcomes of these theoretical characterizations revealed that all the newly designed non-fullerene acceptor materials exhibit a wide-ranging absorption efficiency and exciton dissociation constant values, with quite lower LUMO energy level, ensuring a boost in various photo-physical and in opto-electronic properties of the designed materials, which will eventually improve the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the OSCs devices.","PeriodicalId":19542,"journal":{"name":"Organic Chemistry eJournal","volume":"128 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85738714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
