Chemical peeling is a common treatment in cosmetic dermatology. A peel that has been used for many years is trichloroacetic acid. Its adverse effects have for a long time been a major limitation. We present a practical review of the characteristics, mechanisms of action, indications, and complications of superficial chemical peels and of peeling with trichloroacetic acid.

An optimized microwave-assisted low methoxyl pectin extraction procedure was described. Six task specific deep eutectic solvents (TDES) were used in the extraction of pectin from bilimbi (LMABP) and pomelo peels (LMCGP). Response surface methodology-based optimization of the parameters like feed-to-solvent ratio, extraction time, and microwave power level results in 72.

Affordable and eco-friendly green spectrofluorometric (FL) methods can enhance the safety and cost-effectiveness of quality assurance and control in ascorbic acid (ASA) formulations. However, most current techniques for ASA analysis have faced challenges like complexity, delayed response times, low throughput, time-consuming procedures, and requirements for expensive equipment and hazardous chemicals for analyte modification. The study is aimed at producing natural carbon quantum dots (NACQDs) from pumpkin seed peels (PSPs), a natural waste material, using a rapid microwave-assisted method.

Managing undesirable biofilms is a persistent challenge in water treatment and distribution systems. Although ultraviolet-light emitting diode (UV-LED) irradiation, an emerging disinfection method with the chemical-free and emission-adjustable merits, has been widely reported effective to inactivate planktonic bacteria, few studies have examined its effects on biofilms. This study aims to fill this gap by exploring the performance and mechanism of UV-LEDs on the prefabricated Escherichia coli (E.
