In the present study, yellow horn shell residues treated by ionic liquid (IL) were prepared for oil removal from water. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis was applied to represent the effects of IL-treatment on this new cellulosic biosorbent. Furthermore, the comprehensive sorption capacities of the shell residues for five types of oils in pure oil and oily water medium were evaluated. The maximum sorption capacities of IL-treated shell residues (0.39-0.61 g/g) were about 1.5-fold to those of untreated shell residues (0.32-0.42 g/g), respectively. The effects of main environmental factors (temperature and pH) on oil removal were also studied. Kinetic models were successfully established for analyzing the oil sorption process. In addition, it was found that the IL-treated shell residues could be reused for several times. The results indicated that IL-treated yellow horn shell residues could be developed as an ideal biosorbent for oil removal from water.

Cocoa and coffee are two of the world's most important crops. Therefore, their by-products are generated in large quantities. This work proposes a simple method for the valorization of these residues by obtaining phenolic compounds and melanoidins by solid-liquid extraction using different hydroalcoholic solutions as extracting solvents (0, 25, 50, 75, 100% ethanol).

A highly sensitive and selective electrochemical biosensor was developed for the detection of kanamycin using a core-hollow-shell structured peroxidase-mimic nanozyme, CHS-Fe₃O₄@@ZIF-8. The synthesized CHS-FeO@@ZIF-8 was characterized with scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. It was found that the CHS-FeO@@ZIF-8 exhibits excellent peroxidase-like activity due to its ultra-thin hollow layer.

Flexible surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) sensors offer a promising solution for the rapid in situ monitoring of food safety. The sensor's capability to furnish quantitative detection and retain recyclability is crucial in practical applications. This study proposes a self-cleaning flexible SERS sensor, augmented with an intelligent algorithm designed for expeditious in situ and non-destructive thiram detection on apples.

In the context of agribusiness, the agricultural and livestock sectors generate a considerable quantity of waste on a daily basis. Solid-state fermentation (SSF) represents a potential alternative for mitigating the adverse effects of residue accumulation and for producing high-value products such as enzymes. Pleurotus pulmonarius is capable of producing a number of commercial enzymes, including amylases.

The sulfosugar sulfoquinovose (SQ) is catabolized through the sulfoglycolytic Entner-Doudoroff pathway, beginning with the oxidation of SQ to sulfogluconolactone by SQ dehydrogenase. We present a comprehensive structural and kinetic characterization of Pseudomonas putida SQ dehydrogenase (PpSQDH). PpSQDH is a tetrameric enzyme belonging to the short-chain dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) superfamily with a strong preference for NAD+ over NADP+.
