2,3-Diethyl-5-methylpyrazine (DEMP) is recognized for its unique nutty scent but faces limitations due to rapid evaporation. The primary objective of this study was to explore the effect of incorporating DEMP with β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) and chitosan (CS) as wall material on the microstructure and thermal release behavior, antibacterial, and antioxidant characteristics. Initially, the microcapsules preparation process underwent optimization with embedding rate of 78.

- A new method combining sulfuric acid and a deep eutectic solvent was developed to produce cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from tobacco waste, achieving a yield over 26% that outperformed traditional methods (12.5% and 17.2%).
- The CNCs produced retained a cellulose type I structure and showed high thermal stability, with maximum mass loss occurring at a temperature of 342.8°C, which is better than the other methods used for comparison.
- This process is considered safer and simpler, resulting in CNCs with desirable properties like reduced viscosity and significant potential for applications in biocomposite materials.
