In this article we employ density functional theory in the generalized gradient approximation to investigate the structural and electronic properties of the solid solution alloy Zn Se x S 1 − x in the wurtzite structure. We analyzed the chara...

The optoelectronic properties and ultimately photovoltaic performance of hybrid lead halide perovskites are inherently related to the dynamics of the organic cations. Here, we report the dynamics of the formamidinium (FA) cation in FAPbX3 perovskites for chloride and bromide varieties, as st...

Lignocellulosic biomass has been emerging as a biorefinery precursor for variety of biofuels, platform chemicals and biomaterials because of its specific surface morphology, exceptional physical, chemical and biological characteristics. The selection of proper raw materials, integration of nano biotechnolo...

Lead halide perovskites are under the spotlight of current research due to their potential for efficient and cost-effective next-generation optoelectronic devices. The unique photonic and electronic properties of these solution-processable materials brought them to the forefront of materials science. ...

Huge quantities of byproducts/wastes generated in onion processing are usually discarded, but they are excellent sources of bioactive compounds and phytochemicals. However, with growing interest in the sustainable use of resources and the circular economy to reduce adverse impacts on the...

Olive pomace oil (OPO), a by-product of olive oil industry, is directly consumed after refining. The novelty of this study consists of the direct use of crude high acidic OPO (3.4-20% acidity) to produce added-value compounds, using sn-1,3-regioselective lipases: (i) low-calorie dietetic...

Lignocellulosic wastes have the ability to be transformed into oligosaccharides and other value-added products. The synthesis of oligosaccharides from renewable sources bestow to growing bioeconomies. Oligosaccharides are synthesized chemically or biologically from agricultural residues. These oligosaccharides are&#...

Xylose, the most abundant pentose sugar of the hemicellulosic fraction of lignocellulosic biomass, has to be utilized rationally for the commercial viability of biorefineries. An effective pre-treatment strategy for the release of xylose from the biomass and an appropriate microbe of the...

Mechanical exfoliation can generate graphene, but a consistent and scalable preparation of few-layer graphene (FLG) continues to be a challenge. We employed a mechanochemical milling technique to achieve maximum shear and frictional force by dual drive mode operation for preparation of FLG&#...

Mycotoxins are health-threatening fungal metabolites that have been found in several foods around the world. Although agricultural, transportation, and storage management strategies have been employed to reduce the production of mycotoxins, they are not effective in eliminating mycotoxins. In this...

Ozone is a GRAS certified cost-effective and eco-friendly technology whose application in food industry is gaining momentum in recent years. It is a powerful oxidizing agent and has a broad spectrum of anti-microbial property. The free radical generation of ozone treatment destroys bact...

Biologists and engineers are making tremendous efforts in contributing to a sustainable and green society. To that end, there is growing interest in waste management and valorisation. Lignocellulosic biomass (LCB) is the most abundant material on the earth and an inevitable waste predom...

Diols are important platform chemicals with extensive industrial applications in biopolymer synthesis, cosmetics, and fuels. The increased dependence on non-renewable sources to meet the energy requirement of the population raised issues regarding fossil fuel depletion and environmental impacts. The u...

The aim of this article was to generate a framework of bio-based economy by an effective utilization of biomass from the perspectives of agriculture for developing potential end bio-based products (e.g. pharmaceuticals, active pharmaceutical ingredients). Our discussion is also extended to t...

This review summarizes the use of spectroscopic processes-based analytical tools coupled with chemometric techniques for the identification of adulterants in edible oil. Investigational approaches of process analytical tools such asspectroscopy techniques, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), hyperspectral imaging ...

The effluent streams from individual slaughtering operations were segregated based on the degree of similarity and were treated separately. The wastewater from lairage and paunch sections was dominant in suspended solids (SS: 6,000–25,000 mg/L) and was separated using a hydrasieve (500 ...

In this paper, we demonstrate the design and fabrication of an AlGaN/GaN High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) as a bio sensing platform. Bio-compatible functionalization process with thioglycolic acid and antibody-antigen immobilization process with EDC-NHS chemistry is optimized, and the AlG...
