In this research, a bioplastic based on the combination of alkali lignin from oil palm empty fruit bunches and chitosan was developed for seed coating via a dipping method. Chili seeds were used as a model in this study. The bioplastic was prepared via a modified solvent casting method at lignin:chitosan:glycerol weight ratio of 0.25:1.0:0.2. For the isolated lignin, the antioxidant activity, total phenolic content, methoxyl content, and equivalent weight were measured; for the bioplastic lignin, contact angle, swelling, antioxidant activity, mechanical properties and biodegradability were assessed. The presence of the coating was observed by Cryo-EM while the suitability of lignin-chitosan bioplastics for seed coating was evaluated by the germination rate, root length, height, and dry weight of the sprouts. The results showed that isolated lignin enhances the antioxidant activity of the lignin-chitosan liquid bioplastic by up to 84%. The addition of isolated lignin increased the contact angle and reduced the swelling rate of the bioplastics. The presence of lignin increases the tensile strength and elastic module in the biofilm. The microscopical investigation demonstrated the presence of the coating and no alteration in the seed surface morphology under the coating layer. The application of chitosan-lignin-based bioplastics maintain the quality of the seed during its shelf life. The germination rate of the coated chili seeds increased by up to 100% after one week of storage and 40–80% after five weeks of storage.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8774,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis and agricultural biotechnology","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 103435"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659564","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}

The growing awareness of the necessity to enhance agricultural production is gaining attention, primarily driven by the imperative to adequately nourish the continuously expanding global population. Diverse agricultural practices are causing harmful environmental consequences, posing a significant risk to ecological stability through issues such as soil degradation, water pollution, habitat loss, and biodiversity decline. Timely and effective agricultural waste management has become essential for preventing adverse environmental and health impacts. Biomass from rice crop harvesting and processing has been found in abundance around the world. Because of the abundance of this biomass in nature, researchers are harnessing it for various objectives, including global energy requirements, while supporting environmental sustainability. Due to this rationale, within the frameworks of emerging sustainable and circular models, the prioritization of agricultural waste valorization has gained prominence as a pivotal strategy aimed at advancing sustainable management and circular economy. This review mainly emphasizes on the rice bio-waste, its environmental and health-related issues, policies to control stubble burning, reduce pollution in the air, and sustainable management of the bio-waste into wealth using different approaches worldwide. We also investigated the potential contribution of rice-by-products wastes to bioenergy production (bioethanol, biogas, and biofuel), enzymes, nanoparticles, construction materials, animal husbandry, bioplastics, and other value-added products. We recommend that proper management of rice by-products may produce innovative bio-ingredients and biodegradable materials, and enhance green growth and a circular bioeconomy.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":8774,"journal":{"name":"Biocatalysis and agricultural biotechnology","volume":"62 ","pages":"Article 103430"},"PeriodicalIF":3.4,"publicationDate":"2024-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142659562","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}

Indeed, insect pests are the key factors causing crop losses. Over the past 50 years, a variety of agrochemicals have been used to combat crop losses brought on by insect pests. However, greater awareness of the risks associated with chemical pesticides, as well as other insect resistance and revival issues, makes the use of alternative pest management methods necessary. The use of entomopathogens such as bacteria, fungi, viruses, and nematodes in biological control methods provides an excellent substitute that is effective against a variety of insect pests and pathogens. Entomopathogenic microorganisms are safe, affordable, and simple to implement as biocontrol agaents for pest management. Entomopathogens have a lot of potential for suppressing pest populations due to their astonishing qualities. Among the entomopathogens, bacteria are host-specific, fungi are more widely distributed, and other viruses and nematodes possess specific killing mechanisms. All these entomopathogens greatly affect both terrestrial insect pests and soil-dwelling insect pests. These virulent pathogens kill target insect pests by penetrating through natural apertures, ingestions, and sometimes through integuments. Application of entomopathogens reduce pesticide use, enhance environmental health, maintain productivity, and protect natural resources. Furthermore, investigations are still being conducted to find other potential elements, particularly looking into potential entomopathogens. To address the current problems, knowledge about their identification, mechanism of action, applications, bioformulation development, and commercialization is therefore required.

The reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels has led to pollution, health concerns, and accelerated climate change due to greenhouse gas emissions. As fossil fuel reserves diminish, biofuels derived from biomass present a promising and sustainable alternative. Biomass, being abundant and renewable, has the potential to replace fossil fuels, with advances in technology and a focus on green synthesis enabling more efficient and environmentally friendly production processes. Heterogeneous catalysts play a crucial role in biofuel production, significantly impacting the development of more sustainable energy solutions. These catalysts, which operate in a different phase from the reactants, are crucial for achieving high conversion efficiency, recyclability, and minimal environmental impact in biofuel production. Specifically designed to break down lignocellulosic biomass, these catalysts are essential for a carbon-neutral biofuel production process and for driving sustainable development. This article explores the historical development and evolving role of these catalysts in biofuel technology along with a categorization of various catalysts used in biofuel production. The discussion includes an examination of biomass sources and its structural and chemical compositions vital for conversion processes. The application of heterogeneous catalysts in producing diverse biofuels—such as bioethanol, biobutanol, biogas, biodiesel and biohydrogen are analyzed, highlighting recent advancements and improvements in efficiency.

The OP dried at 600 W exhibited the highest total phenolic compound (24.65 mg GAE/g) and total flavonoid compound (11.73 mg QE/g), as observed in the recorded data. The total antioxidant value exhibited a decrease at both elevated and reduced levels of microwave power compared to raw OP.

Multiple factors stimulate shifts within beneficial microbes, especially the most malleable bacterial groups, to favour their host, and numerous studies have revealed how biotic stress strongly alters the rhizosphere taxa of plants to predominantly Proteobacteria, Firmicutes and Actinomycetes. To this end, the Actinomycetes-members of these bacterial taxa have been applied as beneficial bioinoculants to control diseases in plants with a dearth utilization of their metabolites (including antibiotics) as chemo-control agents against phytopathogens. Therefore, this review examines how biotic stress shapes key bacterial taxa in the rhizosphere and highlights the potential of Actinomycetes-derived antibiotics and other metabolites to mitigate biotic stress through direct antagonism of pathogens as well as inducing plant defense.
