Abstract

The growing demand for natural medicines and plant-derived nutrients has increased scholarly interest in botanical resources rich in bioactive constituents, minerals, phytochemicals, and other metabolites. Terminalia catappa, a member of the Combretaceae family commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions, is traditionally used for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and antidiarrheal properties. This study aimed to evaluate the phytochemical profile, proximate composition, and mineral content of T. catappa seed nuts. Standard analytical methods were employed for proximate analysis, while elemental content was determined using atomic absorption spectrophotometry and flame photometry. Phytochemical screening revealed the presence of saponins, steroids, phenols, and alkaloids, whereas tannins and flavonoids were absent. The proximate composition showed moisture content of 11.03%, ash content of 5.00%, crude fiber of 0.53%, crude protein of 8.28%, crude fat of 36.33%, and carbohydrates of 39.63%. Mineral analysis indicated notable concentrations of potassium at 1.1638 mg/L and calcium at 0.2046 mg/L, with sodium, manganese, zinc, iron, and copper detected in trace amounts. The study concludes that T. catappa seed nuts possess considerable nutritional and medicinal value, supporting their traditional applications and indicating their potential industrial use in food, pharmaceutical, and personal care products. These findings contribute to phytochemical and nutritional research by providing empirical evidence on the bioactive and compositional properties of T. catappa seeds.

Abstract

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) offers a promising pathway for converting wet organic waste into liquid fuels; however, the high oxygen content of bio-crude derived from fruit waste remains a major limitation. This study aims to valorize mango fruit waste (MFW) into upgraded bio-crude oil through catalytic HTL using a template-synthesized activated biochar-supported NiFe₂O₄ bimetallic catalyst. The feedstock and catalyst were characterized using proximate and ultimate analyses, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer–Emmett–Teller (BET) surface area analysis, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). Mango fruit waste showed favorable hydrothermal conversion characteristics, including high volatile matter content, a carbon content of 48.07 wt%, and a higher heating value (HHV) of 14.32 MJ kg⁻¹. The incorporation of the NiFe₂O₄-activated biochar catalyst substantially improved bio-crude quality compared with non-catalytic HTL, increasing the carbon content to 63.53 wt% and the HHV to 16.66 MJ kg⁻¹. GC–MS analysis revealed a marked compositional shift toward aromatic hydrocarbons, phenolic compounds, and nitrogen-containing heterocycles, indicating enhanced deoxygenation, hydrogen transfer, and aromatization reactions promoted by the bimetallic catalyst. The study concludes that template-engineered biochar-supported NiFe₂O₄ catalysts are effective for upgrading oxygen-rich intermediates during fruit waste HTL. These findings contribute to sustainable waste valorization and biofuel production by demonstrating the potential of mango fruit waste as a viable feedstock for producing improved bio-crude oil.

Abstract

Plastic pollution has emerged as a major environmental problem affecting terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems and posing human health risks through microplastic exposure and chemical leaching. This research reviews the biodegradability of common plastics and examines biological approaches—particularly microbial and enzymatic degradation—as complementary strategies to mechanical and chemical recycling. Drawing on recent experimental and review literature, it describes microbial colonization of plastic surfaces and the enzymatic mechanisms underlying depolymerization, with emphasis on PET hydrolases such as PETase and MHETase, cutinases, and oxidative enzymes including laccases. The study further outlines analytical methods for assessing plastic degradation and evaluates strategies to enhance enzymatic depolymerization, such as protein engineering, enzyme immobilization, and physical or chemical pretreatment of substrates. In addition, it discusses scale-up challenges, biosafety considerations, and pathways for integrating biotechnological solutions into circular economy frameworks, and formulates recommendations for future research and pilot-scale deployment. Overall, the review highlights the potential and limitations of microbial and enzymatic plastic biodegradation as part of a broader portfolio of interventions needed to mitigate plastic pollution.

Abstract

Vegetable oils are widely utilized as essential lipid sources in food production, necessitating routine evaluation of their nutritional and chemical quality. This study assessed the quality of four commonly consumed edible vegetable oil brands in Gombe, Gombe State: Palm oil (Al-Hilal), Turkey oil, Power oil, and Kings oil. Samples were collected from the Gombe main market and analyzed for saponification value, iodine value, and peroxide value. These parameters were compared against the standards set by the Standard Organization of Nigeria (SON). Turkey oil exhibited the lowest saponification value (192.43 ± 0.51 mg KOH/g), though all oils fell within the SON-recommended range of 185–205 mg KOH/g. The iodine values indicated low levels of unsaturated fatty acids across all samples, with palm oil showing the highest (15.29 ± 0.49 g) and Turkey oil the lowest (6.61 ± 0.63 g). Peroxide values for all samples were well below the 10 meq/kg threshold for rancidity, indicating freshness and stability. Overall, the results demonstrate that all vegetable oil samples met the quality standards set by SON and the Nigerian Industrial Standard (NIS). It is therefore concluded that the oils are unadulterated, of high quality, and safe for public consumption, reflecting proper processing and storage practices.
