Abstract

Ensuring food safety and quality has become a global priority, demanding innovative solutions to detect early signs of spoilage or contamination. Intelligent food packaging systems offer a promising approach through real-time monitoring of food quality. Among various sensing materials, carbon dots have emerged as a novel class of fluorescent nanomaterials with exceptional optical properties, high water solubility, low toxicity, and tunable photoluminescence. This review discusses the synthesis strategies of CDs particularly focusing on green synthesis using biomass waste and their photoluminescence mechanisms including quantum confinement, surface state, carbon core state, and molecular state emissions. The application of CDs in smart packaging is highlighted, especially in detecting spoilage indicators such as ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, Total Volatile Basic Nitrogen, and pH changes. Various studies demonstrate the ability of CDs embedded in biopolymer matrices to produce distinct color changes in response to food spoilage, making them effective visual sensors. These findings support the development of eco-friendly, sensitive, and low-cost nano sensors for next-generation intelligent packaging technologies.

Abstract

This study evaluated the kinetic characteristics of the ethyl acetate saponification reaction using two analytical approaches, namely conductometry and titrimetry, in a stirred batch reactor system at various temperature conditions. Both methods showed that the reaction followed an overall second-order pattern, in line with the theory of saponification reaction kinetics. However, significant differences were found in the conversion values and activation energy obtained. The titrimetric method showed higher reproducibility and accuracy, with an estimated activation energy of 37.40 kJ/mol. This study also confirmed that increasing the reactant concentration accelerated the reaction rate by increasing the frequency of effective intermolecular collisions. Overall, the titrimetric method is recommended as a more reliable approach in the study of saponification kinetics in this experimental system.

Abstract

Methylene blue contamination in aquatic environments has become a global issue due to its widespread use in various industries. Methylene blue is a toxic, carcinogenic, and non-biodegradable dye. Adsorption can be employed as one method to mitigate this problem. The use of κ-carrageenan as an adsorbent offers an effective solution because κ-carrageenan is an abundant, easily obtainable, and economical biopolymer with promising adsorption performance. In this study, κ-carrageenan was cross-linked with K+ to form a hydrogel, which was then freeze-dried to produce a macroporous κ-carrageenan adsorbent. Characterization using FTIR confirmed the successful preparation of the adsorbent and the adsorption of methylene blue. SEM images showed changes in surface morphology, indicating successful adsorption. The adsorption process was optimum at pH 5, an adsorbent mass of 0.1 gram, and a contact time of 3 hours. Adsorption followed a pseudo-second-order kinetic model and the Langmuir isotherm model, with a maximum adsorption capacity, qmax of 128.7 mg/g at 328 K. Thermodynamic studies showed that the process was exothermic, became more disorder as a result of an increase in entropy, and occurred spontaneously. These results demonstrate that freeze-dried κ-carrageenan adsorbent has the potential for development in sustainable wastewater treatment technology.

Abstract

A new modification of natural coagulant and flocculant from papaya seeds Carica papaya L. and aloe vera gel has been developed in this study to remove Remazol Yellow dye. The research parameters studied included the initial concentration of the test solution, pH, and stirring speed during the coagulation process. The initial concentration of the test solution varied from 10 to 50 mg/L, the pH ranged from 1 to 6, and the stirring speed was 650 to 1050 rpm during the coagulation phase. The coagulation and flocculation results were characterized using an FTIR spectrophotometer. The results showed that the optimum conditions were an initial concentration of 30 mg/L at pH 2 and a stirring speed of 950 rpm, resulting in the highest removal effectiveness of 97.55%. The results of FTIR spectrophotometry characterization showed that the sulfonate group -SO₃⁻ in Remazol Yellow had been removed, indicating that the protonated groups -NH₃⁺ and -COOH₂⁺ in papaya seeds and the anionic groups of the dye had electrostatic interactions. This study shows that the modification of papaya seeds and aloe vera gel as natural coagulants and flocculants shows sustainable potential for azo dye-based textile wastewater treatment.
