Article Abstract
Polyethylenimine (PEI) functionalized kaolinite clay was successfully prepared, characterized, and assessed for the remediation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) comprising the aldehyde, carboxylic acid, and disulfide functional group classes. A gas chromatographic vapor capture assay evaluated the capability of unmodified and modified clay material to capture representative aldehyde, carboxylic acid, and disulfide VOCs in a laboratory setting. Unmodified kaolinite (Kao) clay was moderately or poorly effective at remediating these VOCs, while the poly(amine) functionalized Kao was capable of capturing VOCs in the vapor phase with reductions up to 100%. Sample cartridge tubes were packed with PEI-functionalized clay in order to assess their ability to reduce the detectable volatile fatty acid load at an open-air rendering plant in a relevant field test for applying these materials in a packed-bed scrubber application. The PEI-Kao packed cartridges were capable of significantly reducing the detectable concentration of volatile fatty acid effluent from the rendering operation. These volatile fatty acids are major contributors to nuisance odors associated with rendering.

The use of alternative ingredients as supplements to or blends with kombucha tea to improve organoleptic properties and health effects has recently increased. Indian gooseberry fruit is among the most promising alternative raw materials for producing functional kombucha since the berries contain several beneficial substances. In this study, the production of functional kombucha beverages from fusions of black tea and Indian gooseberry fruit homogenate (IGH) was investigated, and the chemical and biological properties of kombucha products were evaluated and compared with those of traditional black tea kombucha products.

Rumen acidosis is a common nutritional metabolic disease in ruminants, and the developing of feed additives to prevent this disorder has great application prospect. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary niacin supplementation with different concentrate to roughage ratio on rumen fermentation evaluated by simulated rumen fermentation in vitro and in vivo. The cattle fed with basal feed (dietary concentrate-to-forage ratio was 5: 5) and high concentrate feed (dietary concentrate-to-forage ratio was 8: 2) were defined as Control stage and HC stage, respectively.

Given the abundance of beneficial properties and enzymes secreted by edible oyster mushrooms, their mycelium could serve as a starter for fermented foods to enhance their nutritional and bioactive quality. This study aimed to investigate the effects on the nutritional ingredients, antioxidant activity, and non-volatile metabolites during solid-state fermentation (SSF) of soybeans by mycelium. The results indicated that the contents of dietary fiber and starch in fermented soybeans decreased, while the amounts of protein and lipid increased after SSF ( < 0.

Exhaled breath offers an interesting matrix of low invasive sampling of potentially relevant information about the organism's metabolism in the form of volatile organic compounds (VOC). The VOC can be exhaled by the ructus (Islam et al., 2023) or passed the blood-lung barrier for expiration through the lungs.
