The Use of Purified and Modified Cellulose in Wine Production and Analysis
ABSTRACT Cellulose is not only one of the most abundant biological macromolecules but can also be purified and modified to serve a multitude of purposes in industrial winemaking processes. Being composed of only glucose and naturally occurring unbranched in nature as strands and fibrils, cellulose can be used for filtration directly or as a filtration ...

Diatomaceous earths: Natural insecticides
The regulatory issues for diatomaceous earth (DE) cover three fields: consumer safety, worker safety, and proof of efficacy against pests. For consumer safety, regulatory issues are similar to those for other additives, and a principal benefit of DEs is their removal by normal processing methods.

ABSTRACT Improving photosynthesis is proposed as a means of enhancing crop productivity. To assess whether simultaneous increases in light use‐efficiency and carbon assimilation are additive, we investigated the impact of elevated CO2 on the performance of a transgenic soybean line engineered for faster relaxation of photoprotection by overexpression ...

Batteries From Reused, Recycled, and Surplus Materials
Batteries can become more circular by combining reuse, direct recycling, metallurgical recovery, and material sourcing from industrial surplus streams. This Review highlights how recycled and waste‐derived metals, carbons, polymers, electrolytes, and active materials can be reintegrated into current and emerging batteries, while emphasizing design ...
