Drying characteristics of the ripen graviola fruit were determined, and predictive capability of artificial neural network and eight semiempirical models was evaluated. The Weibull model gave satisfactory results over the other models.

Fruits dried at 60 °C showed lower moisture content (8% d.b), lower drying time, higher drying rate, better physico-chemical properties and sustainable colour value.

In this review, an overview of Cu-catalyzed alkylation reaction of indoles with various substrates, such as nitroalkenes, β,γ-unsaturated α-ketoesters, alkylidene malonates, <i>N</i>-sulfonyl aldimines, diazo compounds, alcohols, and other alkylating agents are discussed, covering the literature up to 2021.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3><p>Indoles belong to a significant class of heterocycle due to its wide range of biological properties.

Among the various transition metals used, Cu has acquired considerable acceptance since it is less hazardous, inexpensive, eco-friendly, and has a huge spectrum of substrate scope.

Herein, we report one of the rare attempts to investigate the anode and potential reactions that could occur on this electrode during CO<sub>2</sub> electrolysis. The electrooxidation of several aqueous pollutants, sulfamethazine (SMT), carbamazepine (CMP), ketamine and acetaminophen (ACE) was investigated at the anode of a CO<sub>2</sub> electrolysis cell. Pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL) was used to prepare the catalysts. PLAL is a versatile, environmentally safe technique used to create nanoparticles for electrocatalysis. Herein, bismuth nanoparticles were prepared as the CO<sub>2</sub> reduction catalyst, as previously reported. Nickel nanoparticles were used for both the oxygen evolution reaction (OER) and the oxidation of the aqueous pollutants. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) of the nickel nanoparticles indicates the production of monodisperse nanoparticles, with a 7.8 ± 2.8 nm average diameter. After evaluating the stability of the targeted pollutants, we focused on sulfamethazine, carbamazepine and acetaminophen due to their stability in aqueous environment. Among the various anode catalysts tested, nickel nanoparticles were the most versatile in degrading these pollutants; thus, further measurements were taken with this catalyst. A brief optimization of the degradation conditions (pH and potential) was also done, showing most efficient degradation at pH = 9 and 1.4 V vs Ag/AgCl. Once completed, CO<sub>2</sub> reduction was coupled with the oxidation of a matrix of all three pollutants. The results show that the efficiency of the CO<sub>2</sub> reduction was mostly unaffected by the combined presence of the pollutants at the anode. Oxidation of the target pharmaceuticals was also comparable to previous tests, reaching 62% for CMP, 53% for SMT and 33% for ACE within 20 min.</p><h3>Graphical abstract</h3>\u0000 <figure><div><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></div></figure>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":55265,"journal":{"name":"Chemical Papers","volume":"77 11","pages":"7015 - 7025"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-07-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11696-023-02993-z.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41079917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The present investigation aimed to optimize a clean and green method for extracting CC through supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) method. Low-grade, culled, and discarded fruits were used for the extraction, and process was optimized through central composite design of RSM. The optimized extraction condition, 68.31 °C/347.98 bars/102.50 min, resulted in maximum CC content (367.14 ± 1.12 mg/g) and oleoresin yield (7.23 ± 2.15%) in a shorter extraction time (< 2 h). Accelerated thermal stability study suggested first-order degradation kinetics of CC at temperatures from 80 to 140 °C. The activation energy (kJ/mol) of the reaction was 71.86, while temperature quotient (Q<sub>10</sub>) for 80 to 100 °C, 100 to 120, and 120 to 140 were 0.0548, 0.0574, and 0.1456, respectively. Valorization of Bhut Jolokia for targeting an oleoresin with maximum CC opens a new window for its commercial exploitation in food industry.
