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. …

Sustainable Carbon Materials for Catalysis, Energy Conversion, and Environmental Remediation
Abstract: Among the most ancient and adaptable materials used by humans, carbon finds use in a wide range of industries, including electronics, energy production, medicine, water purification, air filtration, and catalysis. Among them, activated carbon's highly developed microporous structure, remarkably large specific surface area, and adjustable surface functions have drawn a great deal of attention from both science and industry. Activated carbon materials have been widely used as molecular sieves, adsorbents …

Modern Biomaterials: Biologically Sensitive Hydrogel Materials
Abstract: Modern biomaterials and biological products are interacting at a more clearly defined interface. Hydrogels, a category of highly hydrated biomaterials, are significant. With interstitial voids that are up to 90% water by weight, hydrogels are made of elastic networks. They are created either physically or chemically by self-assembling building blocks that areeither created artificially or organically. Macromolecules in a range of structures, such as cross-linked polymers, entangled fibrillar networks, or …

Antibiotics – Challenges in our Post-COVID Era
Abstract: Accidental discovery of the antibiotic properties of penicillin marked a watershed moment in healthcare, transforming the landscape of medicine and saving countless lives of injured and infected. Further research and awareness on the advantages of this “miracle drug” resulted in its bulk production in the 1940s, and played a crucial role in saving lives of thousands during World War II. Subsequent discoveries especially broad-spectrum antibiotics paved the way for further …

Biodisintegrable Low-Density Polyethylene (LDPE)/Sago Starch (SS) Composites for Food Packaging Applications
Abstract: Research scientists are very interested in polysaccharide-filled plastics as a way to create a biodisintegrable polymer composite. The goal of the current study is to employ SS to create a biodisintegrable polymer composite, which could pave the way for a more user-friendly polymer composite in the future. In this study, LDPE/SS biodisintegrable composites were created by physically blending SS and LDPE in a Brabender mixer. The effects of varying the …

Strategies for Flood Mitigation
Abstract: The world has always experienced change. Water-too much or too little is the most common cause of migration and a city's downfall. The notable and significant distinction right now is that we are seeing it in real-time for the first time in human history. We contributed to the dangers that were produced, and we contributed to the remedies that will influence the pace and scope of change and disruption. We …

Valorization of Shrimp Processing Waste by Green Methodology and its Application in Chitosan-PEG Composite Film
Abstract: Shrimp processing waste is mostly unidentified marine by product, presents considerable environmental pollution which also offers a rich but not fully exploited sources of biopolymers. The current work presents a sustainable method to convert shrimp processing waste into chitosan a biopolymer by green methodology. Isolation of chitin to chitosan from shrimp processing waste was carried through four green methodology steps i. Demineralization using citric acid ii. Deproteinization using papain iii. …

Productivity of Hydraulically Fractured Calcite Rich Shale Reservoirs Enhanced by Acid
Abstract: The current low oil prices have highlighted the need for enhancement to current production from shale formations. Prolonging the production life and increasing productivity of the fracture network in the shale plays can be a way to improve the economics. Many shale wells, drilled and completed based on current completion strategies, show sharp decline after initial flash production. One of the reasons behind this can be attributed to closure of …

Smart Blind Stick
Abstract: In accordance to World Health Organization statics, 253 million people are currently living with vision impairment, 36 million of which are blind, and 217 million who have moderate severe vision impairment. Mostly people aged 50 and above are blind as WHO estimated that 81% of the blind population are adult peoples. Due to a variety of factors, number of visually impaired persons is anticipated to rise in the future. As …
