Synthesis and characterization of lactide from brewed lactic acid utilizing cheap agricultural sources.

Lactic acid (LA) is a nifty molecule with an eclectic range of applications in innumerable industries and is produced through biological and chemical processes. Factually, LA is converted into lactide (LAC), which is the precursor for polylactic acid (PLA). PLA is considered one of the first-rate replacements for petroleum-based products and is believed to be environmentally sustainable.

Unraveling the role of intra-cellular metabolites in the lactic acid production by novel using sugarcane molasses as a substratum.

Lactic acid is a versatile, multi-functional organic monomer in various industries, creating worldwide demand. High titer lactic acid production was achieved by novel J2V2AA through sugarcane molasses fermentation up to 178 mg mL. A metabolomics approach such as combined GC-MS and LC-MS was applied to elucidate the involvement of key metabolites in lactic acid production.

Optimization of sodium alginate-galactoxyloglucan blended hydrogel beads through ionotropic gelation method.

Hydrogels are 3D crosslinking networks of hydrophilic biopolymers which can able to absorb and retain large amount of water. In this present study, the Sodium alginate (SA)- Galactoxyloglucan (GXG) blended hydrogel beads were prepared and optimized through two level optimization steps. Alginate and xyloglucan are the cell wall polysaccharides biopolymers obtained from the plant sources, Sargassum sp.
