Abstract

Palm mesocarp fiber, a by-product of the palm oil industry, holds significant potential as a cellulose source for biofuel, biopolymer, and biocomposite production. However, its utilization is hampered due to the presence of lignin, which covers the cellulose. The use of ozone promotes a high level of lignin degradation, making it efficient in breaking down lignin bonds in lignocellulose. However, the ozonation method has low ozone mass transfer. This deficiency can be overcome with ultrasonic waves because of the cavitation phenomenon that can expand the contact surface of ozone and lignocellulose. The ozonation-ultrasonic hybrid method is used to remove lignin. This research investigates the use of a hybrid ozonation-ultrasonic method with the effect of reaction time and pH under acidic conditions on the pretreatment of palm oil mesocarp fiber. This process was carried out at reaction times (70, 80, and 90 minutes) and solution pH (4, 5, and 6) with an ozone flow rate of 2 L min-1. The cellulose content was analyzed using the Chesson method. The results showed a decrease in lignin and an increase in cellulose, which was confirmed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis shows a decrease in the lignin absorption peak at 1635 cm-1 and 1420 cm-1. XRD analysis showed an increase in crystallinity after pretreatment, with lignin degradation observed at 6.35%. SEM Morphological showed a more friable, stable, and porous surface after pretreatment, indicating the presence of perforations in the cell walls and the damage to the lignin structure. Therefore, this research succeeded in reducing the use of chemicals in the biomass waste delignification process. The ozonation-ultrasonic hybrid pretreatment process, which aims to degrade lignin in palm fiber biomass, shows promising results, producing high cellulose content in palm fiber by reducing the amount of chemicals as mostly used in conventional processes.

Abstract

This paper presents the effect of microwave and ultrasound irradiation on the enzymatic hydrolysis of water hyacinth biomass in the presence of surfactants. Prior to hydrolyzing, the water hyacinth was treated utilizing alkali with and without microwave assistance. It was revealed that the microwave improved the removal of lignin and hemicellulose. The treated water hyacinth biomass was also characterized using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), X-ray Diffraction (XRD), and Fourier-Transform Infrared (FT-IR) Spectroscopy. The effect of surfactant and the assistance of microwave and ultrasound were comprehensively studied. Some parameters varied, including stirring speed, surfactant type, concentration, and reaction time. The results indicated that microwave and ultrasound could enhance the reaction rate. Tween 80 here could improve conventional, microwave-assisted, and ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis of water hyacinth biomass. It was found that the ultrasound-assisted hydrolysis was better than that of others. The results of this research can be used as the groundwork for further developing the lignocellulosic biomass hydrolysis process, especially in an advanced enzymatic hydrolysis process.

Abstract

Water-in-oil-in-water (W/O/W) emulsion is an effective technology for encapsulating bioactivity but has poor stability. This study aims to evaluate the effect of ultrasonication on the preparation of double emulsions with varying alginate/chitosan ratios (1:1, 1:2, 2:1) and sonication times between 0 and 7 minutes. The results showed that a sonication time of 7 minutes resulted in the best storage stability (0.00–1.02%) and thermal stability (17.13–23.21%), a significant decrease in droplet size (2.08–2.87 μm), and higher emulsion activity index (EAI) (16.11–38.10 m2/g) and emulsion stability index (ESI) (63.28–89.74 min) values. The alginate/chitosan ratio of 2:1 also gave the most optimal results with storage stability of 4.58%, thermal stability of 36.23%, droplet size of 2.08–4.14 μm, and EAI and ESI values of 16.12 m2/g and 48.42 min. The ultrasonic-assisted alginate/chitosan double emulsion method effectively improved the stability and bioavailability of bioactive and presents significant potential for food and pharmaceutical applications.

Abstract

This study aims to explore the potential of algae for sustainable biofuel production by examining their molecular biology and the use of advanced cultivation techniques. As concerns over greenhouse gas emissions and rising transportation energy costs grow, algae offer a promising alternative for fuel derived from both food and non-food sources. This review looks at the main biological pathways involved in making biofuels from algae. It focuses on species diversity, lipid content, and new technologies like photobioreactors and magnetic nanoparticle harvesting. The results showcase noteworthy advancements in biotechnology and genetic engineering that boost algae productivity and fuel yield, while also critically examining the environmental impacts such as CO2 emissions and water use, as well as the economic and policy challenges through a life cycle analysis. Adopting a global perspective, this review emphasizes the role of international collaboration and technology transfer in overcoming barriers. Conclusion: Algae-based biofuels hold considerable potential for reducing CO2 and supporting sustainable transportation, yet scaling up production and lowering costs remain challenges. Future research should focus on improving integrated biorefinery platforms, exploring CO2 capture, and promoting international partnerships.

Abstract

Roselle (Hibiscus sabdariffa L.) contains high levels of anthocyanins with significant antioxidant properties. However, conventional extraction methods often result in low efficiency and degradation of bioactive compounds. This study aims to optimize the extraction of anthocyanins from roselle using Microwave Assisted Extraction (MAE) with Natural Deep Eutectic Solvent (NADES) combination of sodium acetate and glycerin then examine the effect of optimum anthocyanin content. The variables applied were microwave power (200, 400, 600 Watt) and extraction time (4, 6, 8 min), optimized using Response Surface Methodology (RSM) with 12 experimental runs. Analysis included antioxidant content (anthocyanins, vitamin C, tannins, and total phenolics) and stability tests (density and viscosity). The RSM results have shown that the optimization value of anthocyanin content is 0.3217%, which will be achieved at an extraction time of 6.02 min, and microwave assisted extraction power at 323.77 Watt. The result of the optimum anthocyanin variable shows anthocyanin content is 0.3072% confirming the model's accuracy. MAE combined with NADES provides an efficient and environmentally friendly method for extracting natural colorants with high antioxidant activity from roselle.
