One of the most promising solutions to the current energy crisis is an efficient catalytic transformation of abundant low-cost renewable raw biomass into high-quality biofuel. Herein, a highly effective catalyst was constructed systematically for the selective synthesis of 2,5-dimethylfuran (DMF) biofuel from biomass-derived 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) via green catalytic transfer hydrogenolysis (CTH) using a nitrogen-doped ordered mesoporous carbon (N-CMK-1) decorated ruthenium (Ru)-based catalyst in -propanol as hydrogen source. The structures and properties of different catalysts were characterized by different characterization techniques such as FTIR, XRD, N-sorption, CO-sorption, TGA, TEM, ICP-AES, CHNO analysis, and acid-base back titration.

Treatments to inhibit browning and decay and prolong shelf life of fresh-cut mangoes were investigated. Combinations of antibrowning agents and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) resulted in a reduction of browning and deterioration of fresh-cut mangoes stored at 10 degrees C. Combinations of several browning inhibitors were more effective than those applied individually.
