Composition change of Jatropha seed cake samples was evaluated upon lime pretreatment at 100 degrees C with different parameters. With a lime dose of 0.2 g and a water content of 10 ml per gram of cake and a treatment period of 1 h, 38.2+/-0.6% of lignin was removed. However, 65+/-16% of hemicellulose was also lost under this condition. For all the treatments tested, cellulose content was not affected by lime supplementation. Through further examining total reducing sugar (TRS) release by enzymatic hydrolysis after lime pretreatment, we have found that 0.1 g of lime and 9 ml of water per gram of cake and 3 h pretreatment produced the maximal 68.9% conversion of cellulose. Without lime pretreatment, the highest cellulose conversion was 33.3%. One microalgal species, Schizochytrium limacinum SR21 was able to grow on the hydrolyzates and generate a biomass density of 3.2 g/l in 4 days.

Betel quid contains two major ingredients; Areca catechu and Piper betel, often consumed with slaked lime, tobacco, certain flavouring agents, colouring agents, herbs, and spices according to personal preferences. The areca nut alkaloids (arecoline, arecaidine, guvacine, and guvacoline), and tobacco alkaloids (nicotine, nornicotine) undergo nitrosation during chewing in the oral cavity with the presence of nitrite and thiocyanate and endogenously. Among the nitrosation products generated areca nut-derived nitrosamine (ADNA): 3-(methylnitrosamino) Propionitrile (MNPN) and the two tobacco-specific nitrosamines (TSNAs); N'-nitrosonornicotine (NNN) and 4-(methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone) (NNK) are considered Group 1 human carcinogens.

Sweet lime (Citrus limetta), known for its unique taste and aroma, is limited in use due to its bitterness. Osmotic dehydration of sweet lime slices was studied to optimize mass transfer kinetics using response surface methodology (RSM). The debittering pre-treatment using NaCl ranging from 0 to 5 % resulted in a significant reduction of bittering compounds, achieving a 39.

Background: Biological fumigation, a potential alternative to chemical fumigation, shows a wide range of prospective applications. In this study, we carried out biological fumigation experiments to evaluate its effect on alleviating consecutive cropping problems (CRPs) when compared with chemical fumigation.
Methods: We designed five treatments, namely, CR (no treatment), LN (chemical fumigation with lime nitrogen), Ta (fumigation with marigold), Ra (fumigation with radish), and Br (fumigation with mustard), for soils for replanting eggplant and measured the crop's growth status, soil bacterial and fungal communities, and soil physicochemical properties.

D-glucaric acid is a platform chemical of great importance and the consolidated bioprocessing (CBP) of lignocellulose by the microbial consortium of Trichoderma reesei C10 and Saccharomyces cerevisiae LGA-1C3S2 features prospects in biomanufacturing it. Here we compared some representative lignocelluloses in Northwest China including corn stover, wheat straw and switchgrass, and the leading pretreatments including steam explosion, subcritical water pretreatment, sodium hydroxide pretreatment, aqueous ammonia pretreatment, lime pretreatment, and diluted sulfuric acid pretreatment. It was found that sodium hydroxide pretreated switchgrass (SHPSG) was the best substrate for D-glucaric acid production, resulting in the highest D-glucaric acid titers, 11.
