Process and technoeconomic analysis of bioethanol production from residual biomass of marine macroalgae Ulva lactuca.

In the present work, the residual biomass of the green seaweed Ulva lactuca was chosen as feedstock to undergo separate hydrolysis and fermentation process to produce bioethanol. The hydrolysis process was optimized for cellulase, biomass, temperature, and time conditions. The maximum yield of fermentable sugars was 13.

Process evaluation and techno-economic analysis of biodiesel production from marine macroalgae Codium tomentosum.

In the current study, a seaweed Codium tomentosum was used as a source for the production of biodiesel. The maximum oil from marine macroalgae was recovered using ultrasound-assisted pretreatment. The oil yield was found to be maximum at optimal conditions such as 5% biomass wetness, 0.

Antidiabetic antihyperlipidemic and hepato-protective effect of Gluconorm-5: A polyherbal formulation in steptozotocin induced hyperglycemic rats.

Background: The antidiabetic, antihyperlipidemic, and hepato-protective effect of Gluconorm-5, was studied in steptozotocin (STZ) induced hyperglycemic rats.

Materials And Methods: The hypoglycemic effect of single dose of Gluconorm-5 (150, 300 and 600 mg/kg body weight) made up of five plants namely Camellia sinensis, Punica granatum, Macrotyloma uniflorum, Foeniculum vulgare and Trigonella foenum-graecum was studied in normal, glucose loaded normal and diabetes-induced rats. The extent of antihyperlipidemic and liver-protective effect was studied by estimating the lipid profile, and the liver marker enzymes.
