Enzyme immobilization has been developing since the 1960s and although many industrial biocatalytic processes use technology to improve enzyme performance, still today we are far from full exploitation of field. One clear reason is that evaluate based on only a few experiments not always well-designed. In contrast other reviews subject, here highlight pitfalls using incorrectly designed protocols explain why in cases sub-optimal results obtained. We also describe solutions overcome these challenges come conclusion recent developments material science, bioprocess engineering protein science continue open new opportunities for future. this way, immobilization, being mature discipline, remains as subject high interest where intense research necessary take advantage possibilities.

Abstract Rechargeable alkali metal (i.e., lithium, sodium, potassium)‐based batteries are considered as vital energy storage technologies in modern society. However, the traditional liquid electrolytes applied metal‐based mainly consist of thermally unstable salts and highly flammable organic solvents, which trigger numerous accidents related to fire, explosion, leakage toxic chemicals. Therefore, exploring non‐flammable is paramount importance for achieving safe batteries. Although replacing with all‐solid‐state ultimate way solve above safety issues, developing can more directly fulfill current needs considering low ionic conductivities inferior interfacial properties existing electrolytes. Moreover, electrolyte concern be further resolved by gelling obtain quasi‐solid Herein, a comprehensive review latest progress emerging electrolytes, including aqueous deep eutectic solvent‐based provided, systematically introduce their flame‐retardant mechanisms electrochemical behaviors Then, gelation techniques preparing also summarized. Finally, remaining challenges future perspectives presented. It anticipated that this will promote improvement

Greater awareness of environmental sustainability has driven many industries to transition from using synthetic organic solvents greener in their manufacturing. Deep eutectic (DESs) have emerged as a highly promising category green with well-demonstrated and wide-ranging applications, including use solvent extraction small-molecule bioactive compounds for food pharmaceutical applications. The DES an biological macromolecules, on the other hand, not been extensively studied. Thereby, feasibility employing biomacromolecule well elucidated. To bridge this gap, review provides overview emphasis its unique physicochemical properties that make it attractive (e.g., non-toxicity, biodegradability, ease preparation, renewable, tailorable properties). Recent advances three classes biomacromolecules-i.e., proteins, carbohydrates, lipids-were discussed future research needs were identified. importance DES's properties-particularly viscosity, polarity, molar ratio components, water addition-on extraction's performance discussed. Not unlike findings small molecules, biomacromolecules was concluded be generally superior solvents.

The growing interest of the food, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries in naturally occurring bioactive compounds or secondary plant metabolites also leads to a demand for development new more effective analysis isolation techniques. extraction from material has always been challenge, accompanied by increasingly strict control requirements final products environmental protection. However, great efforts have made this direction today considerable number innovative techniques developed using green, environmentally friendly solvents. These solvents include deep eutectic (DES) their natural equivalents, (NADES). Due adjustable physical-chemical properties green character, it is expected that DES/NADES could be most widely used future, not only processes but other research areas such as catalysis, electrochemistry organic synthesis. Consequently, review provided an up-to-date systematic overview use combination with various materials. topicality field was confirmed detailed search on platform WoS (Web Science), which resulted than 100 original papers last three years. Besides plants, different analytical methods are presented discussed.

A wound is the loss of normal integrity, structure, and functions skin due to a physical, chemical, or mechanical agent. Wound repair consists an orderly complex process divided into four phases: coagulation, inflammation, proliferation, remodeling. The potential natural products in treatment wounds has been reported numerous studies, emphasizing those with antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial properties, e.g., alkaloids, saponins, terpenes, essential oils, polyphenols from different plant sources, since these compounds can interact various stages healing process. This review addresses most current vitro vivo studies on products, as well main mechanisms involved this activity. We observed sufficient evidence activity wounds; however, we also found that there no consensus effective concentrations which exert For reason, it important work establishing optimal doses, appropriate route administration. In addition, more research should be carried out discover possible side effects behavior clinical trials.

Lignin is the second most abundant natural polymer after cellulose, and valorisation of lignin-rich streams has attracted increasing attention recently. This paper presents a novel sustainable method to recover lignin from Cocoa Bean Shells (CBS) using Deep Eutectic Solvents (DES) microwaves. A DES containing p-toluenesulfonic acid, choline chloride glycerol (2:1:1 M ratio) was selected based on its dielectric properties. Under 200 W microwave power, optimum yield 95.5 % achieved at 130 °C 30 min. DES-extracted exhibited unique structural characteristics including larger particle sizes (242.5 µm D50 size), diversity (410.4 D90-D10 size) H/G sub-unit ratio (71.9 %) compared with commercial Kraft (77.2 µm, 157.9 0.1 respectively), indicating potential in modification upgrading for value-added products.
