This research aimed to optimize surimi production with innovative raw materials called pirarucu trimmings and broken rice grains, which are by-products from food industries. The effects of three independent variables (number of washing cycles, content, and cooking temperature of rice flour-RF) on surimi's physical, chemical, and technological qualities were investigated through a Box-Behnken design. The number of washing cycles affected yield (77-93%), moisture (55-67%), lipids (18-35%), protein (7.15-11.88%), whiteness (46.73-64.45), chroma (8.86-13.18), hue angle (80.79-93.12°), cohesiveness (0.40-0.61), springiness (0.51-0.99), and freeze stability after 4 weeks (85.16-96.53%). RF concentration affected moisture, lipids, cohesiveness, springiness, and freeze-thaw stability after 4 weeks. RF cooking temperature affected moisture, chroma, cohesiveness, and springiness. The optimal conditions for surimi production with high yield and overall quality were three washing cycles, 6% of RF, and RF cooking temperature at 85 °C. It reveals the promising potential of both by-products to be used as an ingredient in restructured products and contribute to improving agri-industry sustainability.

Efficient cryopreservation of stem cells is crucial to fabricating off-the-shelf cell products for tissue engineering and regeneration medicine. However, it remains challenging due to utilization of toxic cryoprotectants for reducing ice-related cryodamages to stem cells during freeze-thaw cycle, stringent post-thaw washing process, and further integration of stem cells with scaffolds to form tissue engineering constructs for downstream applications. Herein, a novel cryopreservation platform of stem cells based on an antifreezing polyvinylpyrrolidone/gellan gum/gelatin (PGG) scaffold together is reported with an L-proline assisted cell pre-dehydration strategy.

Development of supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO) dyeing technology for natural fabrics and their blended fabrics is essential for the textile industry due to environmental and economic considerations. Wool (W), polyester (PET) and nylon (N) fabrics and their wool/polyester (W/PET) and wool/nylon (W/N) blended fabrics were dyed in SC-CO medium with a synthesized reactive disperse dye containing a vinylsulphone (VS) reactive group, which behaves as a disperse dye for synthetic fibers and a reactive dye for protein fibers. The SC-CO dyeing performance of all fabrics was investigated in terms of color strength, fixation, colorimetric and fastness measurements and compared with the conventional aqueous dyeing method.

Selenium (Se) release from anthropogenic activities such as mining, power generation, and agriculture poses considerable environmental and ecological risks. Increasing prevalence and awareness of Se-related issues have driven the development of many innovative Se treatment technologies. Photocatalysis has shown promise towards Se removal from industrial wastewaters with minimal residuals, and is generally considered a low-cost, robust, non-toxic, and potentially solar-powered method.

In this study, biologically synthesized AgNPs were found to be effective against six hospital prevalent bacterial species (, , , Methicillin-resistant and ). AgNPs were deposited on the fabric and surgical blades using layer-by-layer and electrochemical deposition methods, respectively. The coated objects were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and energy dispersive X-ray.

In the interests of using green and sustainable chemical innovations to create sustainable products with minimized (or no) chemical hazard potential, the polyester fabric in this work was activated and functionalized with chitosan and its durability was investigated. Chitosan is a natural biopolymer derived from chitin. As it has good biocompatibility, bio-absorption, anti-infectious, antibacterial and hemostatic properties and accelerates wound healing, it is increasingly being researched for the antimicrobial treatment of textiles.
