Integrated and closed‐loop biorefinery strategies for efficient waste valorization and biofuel production

The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
Abstract Advancements in biofuel production technologies are essential for reducing global dependence on fossil fuels and addressing their overexploitation. Many valuable components of biomass, such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, remain underused in traditional biorefineries, which typically rely on a single feedstock to produce a primary ...

Profiling of Indigenous Biosurfactant-Producing Bacillus Isolates in the Bioremediation of Soil Contaminated by Petroleum Products and Olive Oil

International Journal of Microbiology, 2021
Petroleum is, up to this date, an inimitable nonrenewable energy resource. Petroleum leakage, which arises during transport, storage, and refining, is the most important contaminant in the environment, as it produces harm to the surrounding ecosystem ...

Beeswax: Food and beyond

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Honeybees (Apis mellifera L.) are an important class of insects that are the most beneficial in terms of economy. Beeswax is the second most important bee products after honey. Its commercial importance is due to its antimicrobial, antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and antiseptic as well as regenerative properties.

Salt‐induced nutritional and metabolic shifts in halophytes: implications for food security

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract Plant species vary in their response to salinity: some crops show a degree of salt tolerance, while halophytes – whether wild or cultivated – are characterized by a high capacity to thrive under saline conditions. Halophytes are considered a source of valuable secondary metabolites with potential economic value, yet they might also produce ...

Isolation of Surfactant-Resistant Pseudomonads from the Estuarine Surface Microlayer [PDF]

, 2012
Bioremediation efforts often rely on the application of surfactants to enhance hydrocarbon bioavailability. However, synthetic surfactants can sometimes be toxic to degrading microorganisms, thus reducing the clearance rate of the pollutant.

Exploration of the Phytochemical and Antidiabetic Properties of Teucrium polium: A Natural Asset for Type 2 Diabetes Management

ChemistryOpen, EarlyView.
Teucrium polium shows antidiabetic activity with its phytochemical composition and biological activities. The essential oil is rich in carvacrol, thymol, γ‐terpinene, and o‐cymene, while the aqueous and hydroethanolic extracts are characterized by poliumoside, verbascoside, isorhamnetin‐3‐O‐rutinoside, and apigenin‐7‐rutinoside. Antioxidant activity is
