Production of Ethanol from Rice Straw using Xylose Fermenting Yeast Isolates
Abstract: With increasing energy demand world-over, there is a need to develop cost effective technologies for the production of bio fuels using renewable sources such as lignocellulosic biomass. However, ethanol productivity is still low and the process is not economically viable. The major limiting factors include the complex and highly crystalline structure of lignocellulosics, low loading rate during saccharification and low amount of hexose and pentose sugars generated during saccharification. Distiller’s …

Designer Zinc Finger Nuclease: A Versatile Tool for Genome Editing in Animals
Abstract: In this review, is provided an update on the most popular approaches, including zinc finger nuclease (ZFN)-based gene editing by homologous recombination (HR), gene knockout, non-homologous end joining (NHEJ), and gene therapy in mouse. Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs) are synthetic restriction enzymes evolved by fusing zinc finger that facilitate genome editing by creating a double-stranded break in DNA at a user-specified location. ZFNs are new tools that promise to radically …

Current and Future Prospects of Colostrum—Indian Ethnic Food Supplement
Abstract: Traditional foods of India are called as ‘Functional Foods’ because they contain components such as body healing components, dietary fibres and growth promoters. Colostrum is the first secretion from mammary gland of an animal after parturition, which contains high amount of many nutrients such as proteins, vitamins, minerals and biologically active substances like immunoglobulins, enzymes, hormones and growth factors. This physicochemical composition makes it highly useful food substance as nutraceuticals …

Studies on Different Qualitative Traits of Green Tea Grown in Nontraditional Area Processed by Oven Drying and Microwave Drying in Different Power Levels
Abstract: In this study, tea plants (Camellia sinensis L.) were grown in nontraditional region with different soil and climatic characteristics in the southern part of West Bengal. To study the effect of different drying methods for production of green tea is main focus of this paper. Green tea is produced by applying nominal heat treatment targeting to inactivate the polyphenol oxidase and peroxidase enzymes to retain the original polyphenol content. Therefore, …

Fundamentals and Recent Advances in Microreactor Catalysis and Flow Chemistry
Abstract: The processing technology of chemical reactions has changed quite a bit over the last few decades. For a long time, chemists relied on batch reactors having large containers where all the starting materials are mixed, and the reaction happens in one go. While this approach works, it has several drawbacks: poor heat control, uneven mixing, safety risks, and a lot of waste. Microreactors and flow chemistry offer a much better …

Super-earths (Exo-planets): How Much Probability of Colonization of Life is There?
Abstract: On January 4th, 2009 American Astronomical Society in Washington D.C, the Kepler team announced that it had identified first new exo-planet and after that up to 2013, Kepler had identified nearly 4034 exoplanets or Super earth outside our solar system where some chemical conditions that the pre-biotic earth had might have prompted life, at least in form of microbes. Scientists so far announced the lists of earth-sized 4034 exo-planets with …

Biodegradable and Natural Fiber-Reinforced Polymer Composites for Co-Delivery of Multiple Therapeutic Agents
Abstract: The co-delivery of multiple drugs using advanced nanocarriers has revolutionized targeted therapy in various diseases, particularly in cancer, infectious diseases, and neurological disorders. Multi-layered polymeric nanocarriers (MLPNs) offer a sophisticated platform to encapsulate multiple therapeutic agents with precise control over drug release, bioavailability, and synergistic effects. These nanocarriers are designed with distinct polymer layers that enable sequential or simultaneous drug release based on stimuli-responsive mechanisms such as pH, temperature, and …

TOXICOLOGY: Present-Day Difficulties for Investigating Safety Science and Target Safety Evaluation of Major Human Hepatocytes
Abstract: Preclinical toxicology has developed into a more thorough understanding of toxicity pathways from its descriptive beginnings. Technological developments have made it possible to forecast safety occurrences, mitigate adverse effects, and create safety biomarkers. Because they are able to self-renew and specialize into different types of human body cells, stem cells are currently being employed for in vitro toxicological applications. However, as compared to primary human hepatocytes, stem cell-derived HLCs perform …

Anatomization On Controlled Drug Delivery System
Abstract: Modern target-perception technologies have led to the development of successful controlled drug delivery systems. The process of administering a medication so that it is clinically effective in either people or animals is known as drug supply. Several of the earliest controlled-release systems aimed to achieve a delivery profile that would result in a high drug level in the blood for an extended length of time. When using conventional medication delivery …

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. …
