On the other hand, spray-dried samples exhibited lighter color, higher foaming capacity (30.00–38.75%) and stability (87.50–89.17%), and emulsion activity (51.25–54.50%) and stability (85.76–87.51%) than the freeze-dried sample. Moreover, it was found that the foaming capacity and emulsion activity of safflower protein spray-dried at 140 <sup>°</sup>C were higher than those of other spray-dried samples. Overall, freeze-dried safflower protein showed better powder properties, while spray-dried samples had better functional properties.

Green chemistry emphasises sustainability, waste minimisation, and renewable resources, which aligns with using mangrove twigs and branches as bio-pellets for alternative energy. This research used only mangrove branches and twigs to make bio-pellets to preserve mangrove ecosystems and generate energy. Therefore, this research aimed to compare the physicochemical properties of mangrove-derived bio-pellets from three species, namely <i>Rhizophora apiculata</i>, <i>Excoecaria agallocha</i>, and <i>Bruguiera sexangula</i>. The comparison was done through various analyses such as fibre composition, ultimate analysis, calorific value, FTIR, SEM, XRD, XRF, and TGA. Hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin composition influences Pellet fuel’s combustion and mechanical properties. Lignin enhances durability and energy density, while cellulose and hemicellulose improve combustion efficiency. Balanced biomass produces high calorific value and mechanical strength. The results showed that <i>E. agallocha</i> twigs (R-2) and <i>B. sexangula</i> twigs (R-3) contained the highest levels of hemicellulose and lignin, respectively, while <i>B. sexangula</i> branches (C-3) were the richest in cellulose. <i>E. agallocha</i> (R-2) twigs showed the highest calorific value, with element percentages for N–C-H–S-O measured at 1.33%, 47.29%, 6.98%, 0.09%, and 44.31%, respectively. XRD analysis showed that twigs-based bio-pellets generally had higher crystallinity and density, with a smoother, denser surface than branches, indicating potential as a fuel. Furthermore, XRF analysis showed that the main mineral compositions of mangrove bio-pellets were calcium, potassium, and chlorine. The chlorine content showed that <i>E. agallocha</i> branches’ bio-pellets had a low corrosion possibility. Based on the calorific value, both <i>E. agallocha</i> twigs and <i>B. sexangula</i> branches were considered ideal materials for fuel bio-pellets, with further improvements in preparation stages to enhance quality. This study contributes to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDG 7 and SDG 13) by promoting renewable bioenergy sources and reducing reliance on fossil fuels, thereby supporting global efforts in mitigating climate change.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":488,"journal":{"name":"Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery","volume":"15 18","pages":"24981 - 24993"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145190193","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sustainable methods are therefore required to be used in producing biofuels to handle the problems related to the hike in crude oil prices, global warming, and decreasing fossil fuel reserves.

In addition, we used no paddy, fertilizers, and salt for control. We aimed to investigate the impact of fertilizer, salinity, and addition of exo-electrogenic bacteria for the PMFC performance and paddy growth. The result showed that paddy plant cultivation increased electricity generation two times due to the release of rhizodeposits compared to control without paddy plant. Secondly, a high concentration of mineral fertilizers 2 dS/m negatively impacts power output. Thus, the compost addition + 50% NPK fertilizer was suggested to balance electricity generation and paddy plant growth. Finally, salinity and exo-electrogenic bacteria resulted in positive impacts on electricity generation, with co-culture inoculation and salt addition on the anode area reaching the highest electricity production at an average voltage and power density of 646.17 mV/reactor and 0.22 mW/reactor, respectively.

The char chemical composition was determined by proximate and ultimate analyses, higher heating value, and x-ray fluorescence (XRF). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Brunauer, Emmett, and Taller (BET) surface area techniques were utilized to evaluate the char’s physical structure. The results indicated that the char samples had a high carbon (40.37 to 53.33%) attributed to the participation of fossil waste in the gasification process. Furthermore, the XRF analysis indicated the presence of silicon, potassium, and calcium, which are essential soil micronutrients if the char is used as a soil conditioner. The SEM analysis showed that F50 had a less fibrous cell wall and a carbonaceous surface that was more defined due to the oxidation reaction at higher gasification temperatures, while F30 and F40 had fibrous and porous structures, respectively. The SEM analysis agreed with the BET surface area since F50 presented a higher value (269.8 m<sup>2</sup>/g) due to the formation and widening of micropores and mesopores. Therefore, the physicochemical characterization and surface structure assessment are essential to explore the possible uses of char (such as soil amendment, carbon sequestration, activated carbon, and fuel) as a value-added co-product, seeking to contribute to the sustainability and circular economy of the petroleum and palm oil industries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":488,"journal":{"name":"Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery","volume":"15 16","pages":"23285 - 23303"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145165236","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

An analytical compositional report of the biomasses, serving as a standard method to identify the different chemical groups present, was compared with relevant FTIR spectra and Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) thermographs. In order to interpret the highly convoluted absorption spectra, not only a series of reference materials were examined but also extraction protocols were implemented to sequentially isolate the compositional units allowing a spectroscopic monitoring of their progressive removal from the biomass. This approach enabled the assignment and distinction of a series of vibrational peaks and regions identified in the lower wavenumber region. These peaks/regions, were found to be capable of quantitating different chemical units, such as lignin, fats and lipids, even in the case of structural polysaccharides, like cellulose, hemicellulose and pectin, which are the primary constituents of plant cells. Fats and lipids were easily detected at the 3050–2800 cm<sup>−1</sup> region, with their concentration determined by the isolated 720 cm<sup>−1</sup> and the 728 cm<sup>−1</sup> peaks, when present. Lignin concentration was determined via the 1508 cm<sup>−1</sup> peak. Hemicellulose is contributing to the 1640, 1245 cm<sup>−1</sup> as well as the 1740 cm<sup>−1</sup> peak, with its concentration determined in the 850–750 cm<sup>−1</sup> region. Cellulose content was quantified via the 895 cm<sup>−1</sup> peak, while pectin appeared at the 915 cm<sup>−1</sup> peak and also contributed to the 1640 cm<sup>−1</sup> signal. Consequently, a better understanding of the vibrational convolution could thus be achieved when studying plant cells where multiple structural units contribute to the spectra. It is therefore expected that plant cellular composition can be adequately revealed with a single FTIR spectrum, without the need for intensive analysis methods, offering a faster and more efficient approach.\u0000</p></div>","PeriodicalId":488,"journal":{"name":"Biomass Conversion and Biorefinery","volume":"15 18","pages":"25273 - 25288"},"PeriodicalIF":4.1,"publicationDate":"2025-04-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s13399-025-06858-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145190274","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
