Microalgal proteins: Unveiling sustainable alternatives to address the protein challenge.

Recent breakthroughs emphasized the considerable potential of microalgae as a sustainable protein source. Microalgae are regarded as a substitute for protein-rich foods because of their high protein and amino acid content. However, despite their nutritional value, microalgae cannot be easily digested by humans due to the presence of cell walls.

A review of natural plant extracts in beverages: Extraction process, nutritional function, and safety evaluation.

The demand for foods and beverages with therapeutic and functional features has increased as a result of rising consumer awareness of health and wellness. In natural, plants are abundant, widespread, and inexpensive, in addition to being rich in bioactive components that are beneficial to health. The bioactive substances contained in plants include polyphenols, polysaccharides, flavonoids, aromatics, aliphatics, terpenoids, etc.

Generation, mechanisms, kinetics, and effects of gaseous chlorine dioxide in food preservation.

Food preservation is a critical issue in ensuring food safety and quality. Growing concern around industrial pollution of food and demand for environmentally sustainable food has led to increased interest in developing effective and eco-friendly preservation techniques. Gaseous ClO has gained attention for its strong oxidizing properties, high efficacy in microorganism inactivation, and potential for preserving the attributes and nutritional quality of fresh food while avoiding the formation of toxic byproducts or unacceptable levels of residues.

The Vital Role of Electrolyte Reduction Potential in Forming a Stable SEI in Phosphorus-Based Anodes.

In view of their high lithium storage capability, phosphorus-based anodes are promising for lithium-ion batteries. However, the low reduction potential (0.74 V versus Li /Li) of the commonly used ethylene carbonate-based electrolyte does not allow the early formation of a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) prior to the initial phosphorus alloying reaction (1.

Crystal transformation and self-assembly theory of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation.

Microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is ubiquitous in the earth's lithosphere and brings the inspiration of bionic cementation technology. Over recent years, MICP has been proposed as a potential solution to address many environmental and engineering issues. However, the stability of cemented precipitations generated via MICP technology, especially the characteristics and change mechanism of crystal forms, is still unclear, which substantially hindered the understanding of biomineralization and prohibited the application and upscaling of MICP technology.

Reaction kinetics of waste sulfuric acid using HO catalytic oxidation.

Unlabelled: The process of recovering waste sulfuric acids using HO catalytic oxidation is studied in this paper. Activated carbon was used as catalyst. Main operating parameters, such as temperature, feed rate of HO, and catalyst dosage, have effects on the removal of impurities from waste sulfuric acids.
