The study highlights one pot conversion of hardwood biomass into Total reducing sugars (TRS) and 5-Hydroxymethyl Furfural (5-HMF). Synergistic effect of dilute HSO and ionic liquid in a reaction time of 60 min at 120 °C was examined. Hydrolysis of Catalpa (Catalpa Bignonioides), Indian Rosewood (Dalbergia Sissoo), Chinaberry (Melia Azedarach) and Babool (Acacia Nilotica) catalyzed by modified activated carbon leads to significant product yield. Maximum yield was obtained using Catalpa wood i.e. 92.67% TRS and 70.36% 5-HMF under optimized conditions. Biomass before and after pretreatment subjected to FT-IR, XRD and compositional analysis determined the structural changes. Further, the effect of electrolytes namely; AlCl, MgCl, NaCl and KCl were evaluated. Results revealed that using optimized concentration of each electrolyte promoted the conversion to 96.56% (TRS) and 86.23% (5-HMF) using AlCl (4 wt%) for Catalpa wood. Addition of DMSO with optimized electrolyte concentration improves the partition coefficient (3.3) and yield to 88.29% (5-HMF).

The dried fig cv. Sabz of Iran, distinguishes out among the several fig cultivars for its unique characteristics and excellent properties. The aims to this study were 1) Carefully monitoring the resulting phenotypic changes in growth patterns, leaf morphology, shoot traits, root characteristics, and other relevant traits after irradiated with different gamma rays; 2) Investigating the LD25, 50, 75 and GR25, 50, 75 values at different gamma radiation doses for chose optimum dose.

Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) comprising of wheat bran, coconut husk, rice husk, cereals straw, and other hardwood and softwoods is a good source for the production of xylooligosaccharides (XOS) (prebiotic). XOS produced are nondigestible carbohydrates being stable under stomach pH and digestive enzymes so they can be easily delivered to the intestine in native form, thus stimulating the growth of probiotics. Here we review about the raw material, production, purification, and application of XOS with health benefits.

Understanding how different tree species affect soil microbial communities is crucial for sustainable forestry and ecosystem management practices. Despite Black walnut ( L.) forestry having a rich history, the overall comprehension of how this hardwood species influences soil remains incomplete.

Gasification of soaked biomass is a novel approach to saving cost and time of conditioning feedstock. It may have disadvantages on gasification temperature since an open-downdraft gasifier requires a zone with high temperature to maintain endothermic gasification processes. Heat is generated by exothermic reaction in the gasifier.
