This work is an attempt in order to help towards understanding the influence of the adsorption process on the removal of a VOC (acetaldehyde, CH3CHO) using cyclic non thermal plasma (NTP) combined with a packed-bed of a catalyst support, α-Al2O3. In the first part, the results obtained by placing the saturated alumina pellets inside the plasma discharge zone are discussed, in terms of acetaldehyde removal, CO and CO2 production. In the second part, adsorption of CH3CHO, CO, CO2 and O3 was carried out, from single and multicomponent mixtures of the different compounds. The results showed that (i) the adsorption capacities followed the order CH3CHO≫ CO2>CO; (ii) O3 was decomposed on the alumina surface; (iii) CO oxidation occurred on the surface when O3 was present. In the third part, diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) was used to follow the alumina surface during acetaldehyde adsorption. DRIFTS measurements demonstrated that besides the bands of molecularly adsorbed acetaldehyde, several absorptions appeared on the spectra showing the intermediate surface transformation of acetaldehyde already at 300K. Finally, the relationship between the adsorption results and the NTP combined with a packed-bed process is discussed.

Gossypol removal is crucial for the resourceful utilization of cottonseed meals in the food and feed industries. Herein, we investigated the comprehensive detoxification mechanism of a gossypol-tolerant strain of (WK331) newly isolated from the rumen. Biodegradation assays showed that WK331 removes over 80% of free gossypol, of which 50% was biodegraded and 30% was converted into bound gossypol.

Emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) such as benzene, toluene, xylene, styrene, hexane, tetrachloroethylene, acetone, acetaldehyde, formaldehyde, isopropanol, etc., increase dramatically with accelerated industrialization and economic growth. Most VOCs cause serious environmental pollution and threaten human health due to their toxic and carcinogenic nature.

Article Synopsis
- * Ethanol affects GABA receptors, leading to changes in neurotransmission that could result in memory loss and increase the likelihood of psychiatric disorders like dementia.
- * Oleanolic acid (OA) was found to protect against ethanol-induced memory impairment by blocking alterations in N-methyl-D-aspartate receptor function, suggesting its potential as a treatment for overcoming Ethanol-related cognitive issues.
Engineering a probiotic Bacillus subtilis for acetaldehyde removal: A hag locus integration to robustly express acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.

We have addressed critical challenges in probiotic design to develop a commercially viable bacterial strain capable of removing the intestinal toxin, acetaldehyde. In this study, we report the engineering of the hag locus, a σD-dependent flagellin expression site, as a stable location for robust enzyme production. We demonstrate constitutive gene expression in relevant conditions driven by the endogenous hag promoter, following a deletion of the gene encoding a post-translational regulator of σD, FlgM, and a point mutation to abrogate the binding of the translational inhibitor CsrA.

Keeving is the removal of nutrients from apple musts due to their binding to pectin, resulting in a slower fermentation and spontaneous arrest. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of keeving on the chemical composition of fermented apple must and on the volatile profile and sensory analysis of apple brandies. We compared the application of keeving during spontaneous fermentation with fermentation carried out by (SafSpirit HG-1).
