Converting Durian Husk Into Adsorbent Beads for Methylene Blue Adsorption: Synthesis, Kinetics, Isotherms, and Reusability

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Environmental pollution from textile dyeing wastewater, particularly the discharge of harmful dyes like methylene blue (MB), poses a significant challenge. This study presents an innovative solution for dyeing wastewater treatment by utilizing durian husk, an agricultural waste, as an adsorbent for MB removal.

Improving Oxygen Barrier Performance of Polylactide Film by Using Bleached and Unbleached Nanocellulose From Grape Pomace

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
Bleached and unbleached nanocelluloses were produced from the exhausted grape pomace and applied as coatings on PLA substrates for sustainable food packaging. Unbleached nanocelluloses were more hydrophobic and amorphous than bleached ones. The resulting bio‐based bleached nanocellulose‐coated PLA films showed a 68% reduction in O2 permeability ...

Effects of Cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum Supplementation on Fermentation Characteristics, In Situ Degradability, and Microbial Community Dynamics of Apple Pomace Silage

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
This study aimed to investigate the effects of cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum on the silage quality, in situ digestibility, and microbial communities of apple pomace silage. The combined supplementation of cellulase and Lactobacillus plantarum in apple pomace silage improved fermentation quality and enhanced rumen utilization efficiency.
