Synthesis of Biofuel from Castor Oil Using Novel Catalysts
Abstract: An essential step in improving biofuels, especially those made from biomass, is hydrodeoxygenation (HDO). HDO's primary goal is to eliminate oxygen atoms from the biofuel feedstock in the form of water, which enhances the fuel's energy density, stability, and compatibility with current fuel.This study uses a large surface area catalyst to investigate the hydrodeoxygenation (HDOx) activity of non-edible oils. In addition to other supports including H-USY and MCM-41, large surface …

Understanding Food Spoilage: Mechanisms, Shelf-Life Determination, and Safety Standards
Abstract: Food spoilage poses significant challenges to the global food industry, impacting both food safety and economic sustainability. The main causes of food quality deterioration are microbial and non-microbial spoiling. Microbial spoilage primarily results from the activity of bacteria, yeasts, and molds, which thrive under favorable environmental conditions. These microorganisms can lead to food poisoning and spoilage through the production of off-flavors, discoloration, slime formation, and the accumulation of harmful toxins. …
