Microbial conversion of vanillin from ferulic acid extracted from raw coir pith

Natural Product Research, 2020
Coir pith, an agro-industrial residue, is resistant to natural degradation, and its accumulation causes environmental pollution. Ferulic acid, a precursor of vanillin, was extracted from the raw coir pith by chemical pre-treatment such as alkaline hydrolysis, acidification, and liquid–liquid extraction method. The obtained ferulic acid (1.2 g/50 g) was

Comparison of Uptake of Cadmium at Low Concentrations Under Hydroponic and Soil‐Based Agriculture Systems for Lettuce, Indian Spinach and Methi

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Using recycled water for agriculture offers a sustainable approach by adding inherent nutrients and moisture to the soil. However, it contains unwanted contaminants such as heavy metals like cadmium at lower concentrations. This study assessed the comparative response of three leafy crops ‐ lettuce, Indian spinach and methi, against cadmium ...

Dominated Spider Species and the Predation Assessment on Apolygus lucorum (Hemiptera: Miridae) in a Tea Plantation

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The mirid bug Apolygus lucorum (Meyer‐Dür) is a major pest affecting tea. Identifying the dominant predatory spiders of the mirid bug can provide a scientific basis for developing biological control technologies. Xysticus ephippiatus demonstrates the greatest potential as a biological control agent against A. lucorum.

The impact of nanotechnology on textile coloration—A mini‐review

Coloration Technology, Volume 142, Issue 1, Page 26-51, February 2026.
Abstract Coloration is a key feature in the textile industry that adds value to the final apparels. This coloration of textile products is done by conventional methods which involve huge amounts of water pollution and wastages of textile colourants. Several approaches have been taken to eliminate these issues by advanced dyeing methods, however, due to
