Food Industrial Production of Monosaccharides Using Microbial, Enzymatic, and Chemical Methods
Most monosaccharides in nature are hexoses, which have six carbon atoms; the most well-known hexose is d-glucose. Various hexoses with distinct characteristics can be produced from inexpensive polysaccharides for applications in the food industry ...

Sustainable CO2 adsorbents prepared by coating chitosan onto mesoporous silicas for large-scale carbon capture technology [PDF]
In this article, we report a new sustainable synthesis procedure for manufacturing chitosan/silica CO2 adsorbents. Chitosan is a naturally abundant material and contains amine functionality, which is essential for selective CO2 adsorptions.

Chitosan‐Silanized Hexagonal Boron Nitride Nanocomposite Films and Properties
ABSTRACT In this study, chitosan‐silanized hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) nanocomposite films were developed using the solution casting method. Unlike chitosan‐hBN studies, silanization of hBN with Vinyl trimethoxy silane (VTS) formed hydrogen bonds. In the swelling ratio, an improvement of 18.6% was observed with the addition of hBN compared to pure ...
