When subjected to effective processing, these byproducts of sugarcane cease to be categorized as waste, as they can be converted into resources rich in carbon for use in biorefineries. Numerous conversion technologies consisting of thermochemical, biochemical, and chemical processes of biorefinery are also applied to produce high-value products, either from 1st Generation (molasses feedstock) or through integrated 1st Generation and 2nd Generation configurations (molasses and sugarcane lignocellulose feedstock). This review focuses on recent progress in techniques for maximizing the value of sugarcane, encompassing aspects, such as sugarcane processing, pretreatment methods, and the fermentation of sugar derivatives to six value-added products, namely ethanol, xylitol, butanol, polyhydroxyalkanoates, biogas, and nanocellulose. Furthermore, this review encompasses an examination of the economic and environmental repercussions associated with sugarcane biorefinery. It also explores advancements using cutting-edge technology to address obstacles in industrial production.","PeriodicalId":503211,"journal":{"name":"Applied Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"58 47","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141339069","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}

Thus, the external and internal quality attributes of harvested chili fruit, such as peel color and fruit antioxidants, are of interest for different cooking needs. UV-C is the shortest wavelength of ultraviolet radiation that can harm the living organisms. However, short-term exposure to this physical stress might have many advantages for crop species. This research studied the post-harvest effect of UV-C exposure for different times (0, 10, and 20 min) on the green fruit of Chi-fah chili. The results showed that the percentage of fruit with red peel color increased rapidly during storage after UV-C irradiation, especially in the 10-minute treatment 75% of fruit had red color after 6 days. UV-C treatment also promoted phenolic biosynthesis in green Chi-fah chili fruit as 10 and 20 min of UV-C exposure elevated phenolic contents in both the pulp and placenta with the maximum of 30 and 45 mg gallic acid/gFW, respectively. Exposure to 20 min of UV-C irradiation seemed to inhibit flavonoid production, whereas 10 min UV-C irradiation increased flavonoids in both the pulp and placenta (0.72 and 0.87 mg rutin/gFW, respectively). Of particular interest to the consumers, UV-C treatment could increase the capsaicin amount in green Chi-fah chili fruit. Only the fruit irradiated with UV-C for 10 min had the highest level of phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) activity in the pulp one day after storage, while the placenta had the highest level of PAL activity from day 1 to day 3. The 10 and 20 min UV-C irradiation led to the highest peroxidase (POD) activity in the pulp and the placenta, respectively. In conclusion, UV-C could be used to enhance the production of phenolics and related bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids and capsaicin in green Chi-fah chili fruit during postharvest storage.","PeriodicalId":503211,"journal":{"name":"Applied Science and Engineering Progress","volume":" 22","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141364889","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}

Moreover, the extracted IDF properties were found to be dependent on the implemented treatment. Thus, this study set out to evaluate the impact of five treatments (NaOH, NaOH+H2O2, NaOH+H2SO4, PAA (peracetic acid) and NaOH+PAA) and the subsequent bleaching treatment on the physicochemical, structural, and functional properties of SB fiber. In addition, the effect of particle size reduction on the physicochemical and functional properties was investigated. Lignin content, holocellulose content, XRD, FT-IR, and whiteness index were used to characterize the extracted fibers and to evaluate their structural modifications. The experiments confirmed that NaOH+PAA treatment extracted fibers that had the lowest lignin content (1.65%) and highest holocellulose content (93.07%) and exhibited the highest whiteness index (83.37). The high crystallinity index of NaOH+PAA extracted fibers in addition to the disappearance of spectral bands at 1512, 1595, 1620 and 1730 cm–1 of NaOH+PAA FT-IR spectrum confirms the preceding outcomes. The water holding capacity (WHC) and oil binding capacity (OBC) of NaOH+PAA extracted fiber and other extracted fibers were improved as a result of bleaching treatment. Reducing the particle size of treated bleached samples to > 500 μm significantly decreased their WHC and OBC whereas increased their α-amylase inhibitory activity. The obtained results indicate that NaOH+PAA is a promising method for the extraction of fibers from SB under moderate conditions.","PeriodicalId":503211,"journal":{"name":"Applied Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"4 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141380478","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}

A growing population and finite resources require efficient ways to maximize yields. Probiotic bacteria are gaining popularity in the food and feed industries due to their unique combination of benefits and values, which include consumer health interests, sustainability values, food innovation, and potential business opportunities. The use of conventional fertilizers can increase crop production but can also cause runoff and toxicity issues. A nanobiofertilizer offers improved crop nutrition and reduces application rates. Slow-release properties minimize environmental losses while nanoscale particle size enhances nutrient absorption. If nanobiofertilizers are closely regulated, they can boost yields without destroying the soil and aquatic ecosystems. In recent years, nanobiofertilizers have received considerable attention. Plant extracts and microbes are used in green synthesis to produce eco-friendly nanoparticles. Crop-specific nutrient release can be tailored using modified nanoparticle surfaces. Controlled nutrient delivery is achieved by smart nanocarrier systems that adapt to changing soil moisture, pH, and microbial activity. Combined applications of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria have been reported that they can enhance crop growth in synergy. This review presents an overview of the most recent studies on nanobiofertilizers, as well as the issues connected with their environmental implications, safety, and regulation, presenting a roadmap for the responsible use of nanobiofertilizers, which aims to enhance food security while protecting the environment for future generations.","PeriodicalId":503211,"journal":{"name":"Applied Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"9 4","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-05-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141021134","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}

Considering this, the present research focused on the production of green solvents at lower pressures as a potential solution. Specifically, the synthesis of various catalysts, namely Ni/γ-Al2O3, Ni/C, NiMo/γ-Al2O3, NiMo/SiO2TiO2, and NiMo/C, was conducted to facilitate the hydrodeoxygenation reaction of methyl laurate into cyclohexane, leading to conversion into dodecane. The resulting green solvent was analyzed using GC-FID and GC-TCD techniques. Among the five catalysts tested, NiMo/C demonstrated superior performance, achieving a conversion rate of 64.61%, selectivity of 62.46%, and yield of 44.98%. The gas analysis conducted using GC-TCD revealed the production of carbon monoxide, methane, and carbon dioxide, aligning with the dodecane pathway theory. Further analysis of the NiMo/C catalyst was conducted using SEM, BET, and XRD techniques, while the Design of Expert program was used to identify more favorable conditions for dodecane production. Through this optimization process, significant improvements were achieved, resulting in a conversion rate of 98.26%, selectivity of 66.82%, and yield of 65.66% at 320 °C and 28 bar, with a reaction time of 6 h.","PeriodicalId":503211,"journal":{"name":"Applied Science and Engineering Progress","volume":"350 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140232750","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}

FT-IR spectra presented the key chemical functional groups associated with the Mn–O vibrations and phytoconstituents of the watermelon rind extract. XRD analysis revealed the single-phase hausmannite crystalline structure of the Mn3O4 nanoparticles with an average crystallite size of 35.2 nm. SEM and TEM images of the synthesized Mn3O4 nanoparticles showed quasi-spherical shapes and a core size of 52.90 ± 8.19 nm and 35.89 ± 0.83 nm, respectively.
