Enhancing cationic dye removal via biocomposite formation between chitosan and food grade algae: Optimization of algae loading and adsorption parameters.

Herein, a natural material including chitosan (CTS) and algae (food-grade algae, FGA) was exploited to attain a bio-adsorbent (CTS/FGA) for enhanced methyl violet 2B dye removal. A study of the FGA loading into CTS matrix showed that the best mixing ratio between CTS and FGA to be used for the MV 2B removal was 50 %:50 % (CTS/FGA; 50:50 w/w). The present study employed the Box-Behnken design (RSM-BBD) to investigate the impact of three processing factors, namely CTS/FGA-(50:50) dose (0.

Physicochemical fabrication of chitosan and algae with crosslinking glyoxal for cationic dye removal: Insight into optimization, kinetics, isotherms, and adsorption mechanism.

Herein, a highly efficient and sustainable adsorbent of cross-linked chitosan-glyoxal/algae biocomposite (CHT-GLX/ALG) adsorbent was developed through an innovative hydrothermal cross-linking method. The CHT-GLX/ALG biocomposite was characterized using several complementary analytical methods that include CHN-O, XRD, FTIR, SEM-EDX, and pH. This new adsorbent, named CHT-GLX/ALG, was utilized for the adsorption of a cationic dye (methyl violet 2B; MV 2B), from synthetic wastewater.

Food-grade algae modified Schiff base-chitosan benzaldehyde composite for cationic methyl violet 2B dye removal: RSM statistical parametric optimization.

This work aims to apply the use of food-grade algae (FGA) composited with chitosan-benzaldehyde Schiff base biopolymer (CHA-BD) as a new adsorbent (CHA-BA/FGA) for methyl violet 2B (MV 2B) dye removal from aqueous solutions. The effect of three processing variables, including CHA-BA/FGA dosage (0.02-0.

xanthine oxidase and albumin denaturation inhibition assay of L. and total phenolic content analysis for potential anti-inflammatory use in gouty arthritis.

Aim: This study was conducted to evaluate the anti-inflammatory activities and total phenolic content (TPC) of methanolic extracts of infloresence axes, endosperms, leaves, and pericarps of Barringtonia racemosa L.

Methods: The anti-inflammatory study was conducted by assessing the potential through xanthine oxidase (XO) and albumin denaturation inhibition assays. Meanwhile, the TPC in the extracts were assessed by Folin-Ciocalteu assay.

Induction of hairy roots by various strains of Agrobacterium rhizogenes in different types of Capsicum species explants.

Background: Capsicum annuum and Capsicum frutescens, also known as "chilies", belong to the Solanaceae family and have tremendous beneficial properties. The application of hairy root culture may become an alternative method for future development of these species by adding value, such as by increasing secondary metabolites and improving genetic and biochemical stability compared with normal Capsicum plants. Therefore, in this research, different types of explants of both species were infected with various Agrobacterium rhizogenes strains to provide more information about the morphology and induction efficiency of hairy roots.
