Plant Extracts Rich in Polyphenols as Potent Modulators in the Growth of Probiotic and Pathogenic Intestinal Microorganisms
(Frontiers in Nutrition, 2021)
Medicinal plants and their extracts contain substantial quantities of polyphenols. As metabolically active plant metabolites, polyphenols are food components with a wide range of biological activities. Given their poor ...
Valorization of corn stover and molasses for enzyme synthesis, lignocellulosic hydrolysis and bioethanol production by Hymenobacter sp. CKS3
(Environmental Technology & Innovation, 2021)
During the last few decades, energy demand is increasing rapidly. Concerning this, the use of renewables - lignocellulose biomass, for bioethanol production, as an efficient alternative to replacing fossil fuels, is highly ...
Recommendations for replacing PET on packaging, fiber, and film materials with biobased counterparts
(Green Chemistry, 2021)
This review sheds light on urgent questions that arise from the need to replace a polymer resin,-poly(ethylene terephthalate), which represents 7.7% market-share in the global plastic demand (Plastics-the Facts 2019), by ...
Upgrading of valuable food component contents and anti-nutritional factors depletion by solid-state fermentation: A way to valorize wheat bran for nutrition
(Academic Press, 2021)
Wheat bran is a by-product of wheat flour production used as a nutritious and economic feed ingredient, but since it possesses several anti-nutritional factors that entrap nutrients and interfere with digestion and absorption, ...
Old Plant, New Possibilities: Wild Bilberry (Vaccinium myrtillus L., Ericaceae) in Topical Skin Preparation
(Antioxidants, 2021)
Bilberry represents a valuable source of antioxidant substances responsible for its application for the treatment of different conditions (such as inflammation, cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and different ...
Chitosan Nanoparticles Functionalized Viscose Fabrics as Potentially Durable Antibacterial Medical Textiles
(Materials, 2021)
This research proposed two pretreatments of viscose fabrics: oxidation with 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-1-oxy radical (TEMPO) and coating with TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCN), to introduce functional groups ...
Biosorbents from Plant Fibers of Hemp and Flax for Metal Removal: Comparison of Their Biosorption Properties
(MDPI AG, 2021)
Lignocellulosic fibers extracted from plants are considered an interesting raw material for environmentally friendly products with multiple applications. This work investigated the feasibility of using hemp- and flax-based ...
Enhanced Skin Performance of Emulgel vs. Cream as Systems for Topical Delivery of Herbal Actives (Immortelle Extract and Hemp Oil)
(Pharmaceutics, 2021)
Immortelle, as rich source of chlorogenic acid and the phloroglucinol alpha-pyrone compound arzanol, possesses anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, affects cell regeneration, and has positive effect on many skin ...
Development of protease nanobiocatalysts and their application in hydrolysis of sunflower meal protein isolate
(John Wiley and Sons Inc., 2021)
In this study, the suitability of fumed silica nanoparticles (FNS) and its derivatives (amino-modified FNS (AFNS), cyanuric chloride-activated AFNS (CCAFNS) and epoxy-modified FNS (GFNS)), for covalent immobilisation of ...
Mechanical Properties of Biomass-derived Silica Nanoparticles Reinforced PMMA Composite Material
(Science of Sintering, 2022)
Rice husk was used to produce silica particles, which were then used to reinforce the polymer matrix. The synthesized SiO2 particles were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy ...
