Differential scanning calorimetry revealed that the crystallization of PVA was inhibited over 50 wt% T-CNFs and 30 wt% P-CNFs. PVA/T-CNF films lacked barrier properties without additional compression while PVA/P-CNF films exhibited barrier capabilities without post-pressure treatment, which was attributed to the shorter P-CNFs. Oxygen transmission rate tests confirmed that the barrier properties were preserved up to 50 wt% CNFs, correlating with the inhibition of PVA crystallization, while the film transparency increased with increasing CNF content.

Due to their extremely stable biocompatible nature and being a major component of body metabolism, they have been widely employed in the fields of drug delivery, cell imaging, nutrition, and human health. The emerging interest in the field of amino acid sensing for biological applications creates beneficial and novel opportunities for the fabrication of new-generation materials. The small change in the physiological level of amino acids leads to metabolic disorders, cardiovascular diseases, and serious neurological situations. Therefore, the development of highly sustainable methods for the detection of trace amounts of amino acids is necessary for efficient clinical diagnosis. Thus, the review offers an in-depth exploration of the current advancements in designing various types of emerging sensors (such as nanoparticles, metal–organic frameworks, carbon-based systems, organic ligands, and polymeric systems) that may facilitate precise and sensitive detection of various traces of amino acids as compared to the conventionally available systems in an effort to moderate the environmental impacts. These emerging sensors along with their opportunities and deployment in the real-world scenario has also been discussed. Simultaneously, these sensors not only retain their selectivity, but also rely on the physio-chemical behavior of material system that overcomes the concerned limitations while connecting different fields to complement each other. Further, the review addresses the latest technologies, systems, and the significant challenges associated with amino acid sensing such as sensor stability, selectivity against interference, and practical implementation, as well as their potential future contributions to the field of biology. This review not only highlights the remarkable advancements in amino acid sensing systems but also emphasizes their potential contributions to the fields of biology, healthcare, and environmental monitoring.

The proposed process involves two biphasic catalytic reactors, facilitating the fructose dehydration to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) and subsequent oxidation to FDCA, without requiring intermediate purification steps. Fructose dehydration is conducted in a biphasic system utilizing water and methyl isobutyl ketone (MIBK). In this first reactor, sodium chloride is employed to enhance HMF production from fructose in absence of an acid catalyst. Following the dehydration step, the organic phase containing HMF is extracted using a decanter and subsequently introduced into the oxidation reactor. In this second stage, water is added to form a biphasic solvent system, allowing FDCA to be produced in the aqueous phase. This configuration not only simplifies the process by eliminating the need for energy-intensive separation and purification units, but also facilitates efficient FDCA production. Since FDCA is poorly soluble in water, it can be easily crystallized from the aqueous phase without requiring distillation of organic solvents. The oxidation step, catalyzed by gold supported on hydrotalcite (Au/HT), achieves a 100% FDCA yield. The absence of intermediate products ensures high purity of FDCA. Overall, the global FDCA yield starting from fructose is 71%.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":363,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Industrial and Engineering Chemistry","volume":"147 ","pages":"Pages 696-704"},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-01-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143900195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
