Currently, biopolymer-based Zn-containing nanoforms are of great interest for medical applications. However, there is lack information on optimal synthesis parameters, reagents and stabilizing agent for production of zinc carbonate nanoparticles (ZnC-NPs). In this work, synthesis of ZnC-NPs was carried out by chemical precipitation with the use of chitosan, hydroxyethyl cellulose, methyl cellulose and hyaluronic acid as stabilizing agents.

Alcoholysis of High-Solid xylose residue for methyl levulinate preparation and its kinetics.

Bioresour Technol

January 2025

School of Chemical Engineering, Zhengzhou University, Zhengzhou 450001, China; Henan Center for Outstanding Overseas Scientists, Zhengzhou 450001, China. Electronic address:

Achieving the efficient biomass alcoholysis to methyl levulinate (ML) under high solid content conditions and establishing its kinetic model are crucial, but remain challenging. Here, the alcoholysis of microcrystalline cellulose (MC) and xylose residue (XR) to ML under high solid content conditions using CuSO as a catalyst was reported. High yield (34.

Institute of Forest Science, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, Republic of Korea; Department of Forest Biomaterials Engineering, College of Forest and Environmental Sciences, Kangwon National University, Chuncheon 24341, Republic of Korea. Electronic address:

Carbon dot-based nanozymes have gained significant attention, but their application in dye degradation remains limited due to low activity and challenges in recovery and reuse. To overcome these limitations, high peroxidase-active Co-doped carbon dots (CoCDs) with surface amines were synthesized via hydrothermal method and immobilized onto TEMPO-oxidized cellulose nanofibrils (TOCNF) aerogels using EDC/NHS coupling. For the first time, this study investigates the dye degradation efficiency of CDs nanozyme.

Polymeric Coatings with Electrolyzed Acidic Water: A Novel Approach to Extending Egg Shelf Life and Quality.

Polymers (Basel)

December 2024

Food Packaging and Shelf Life Research Group, Food Engineering Department, Universidad de Cartagena, Cartagena 130015, Colombia.

Electrolyzed acidic water (EAW) contains hypochlorous acid as its active compound, which is a potent antimicrobial. It was encapsulated in polymeric coatings and applied to the surface of eggs. The antimicrobial activity and the ability to extend the shelf life of eggs at ambient temperature for 45 days were evaluated, by physical, microbiological, and sensory analyses.
