Potential Heterogeneous Catalysts from Three Biogenic Residues toward Sustainable Biodiesel Production: Synthesis and Characterization

ChemistrySelect, Volume 7, Issue 48, December 27, 2022., 2022
Heterogeneous base catalysts were synthesized from the periwinkle shell, melon seed husk, and locust bean pod husk via thermal decomposition at 800°C. The catalysts were characterized by their elemental, structural, and functional compositions. The three catalysts gave appreciable biodiesel yields and good stability throughout the transesterification ...

Geographical Discrimination of Ground Amazon Cocoa by Near‐Infrared Spectroscopy: Influence of Sample Preparation

Journal of Food Quality, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022
This work presents the application of the NIR technique associated with exploratory analysis of spectral data by main principal components for the discrimination of Amazon cocoa ground seeds. Cocoa samples from different geographic regions of the state of Pará, Brazil (Medicilândia, Tucumã, and Tomé‐Açu), were evaluated. The samples collected from each

Brazilian Biomes as Promising Resources of Rhodotorula Yeasts for the Biotechnological Production of Carotenoids. [PDF]

Chem Biodivers
ABSTRACT Yeasts belonging to the genus Rhodotorula are capable of synthesizing carotenoids, such as β‐carotene, γ‐carotene, torulene, torularodine, and astaxanthin. These carotenoids have been shown to offer health benefits to humans, such as immune system strengthening and a reduced risk of chronic degenerative diseases.

A review of sustainable biodiesel production using biomass derived heterogeneous catalysts

Engineering in Life Sciences, Volume 21, Issue 12, Page 790-824, December 2021., 2021
Abstract The production of biodiesel through chemical production processes of transesterification reaction depends on suitable catalysts to hasten the chemical reactions. Therefore, the initial selection of catalysts is critical although it is also dependent on the quantity of free fatty acids in a given sample of oil.

Pairing colours in residential architecture for different interior types

Color Research &Application, Volume 46, Issue 5, Page 1079-1090, October 2021., 2021
Abstract Most colour studies focus on single colour effects; however, interiors are multi‐coloured environments and contemporary users are looking for more innovative colour schemes in interiors. Interior architects rely on their own subjective experience and instincts when they take up the challenge.
