Investigating the Synergistic Effects of Carvacrol and Citral-Edible Polysaccharide-Based Nanoemulgels on Shelf Life Extension of Chalkidiki Green Table Olives

Modern bioeconomy and sustainability demands lead food technology in the development of novel biobased edible food preservatives. Herein, the development and characterization of novel polysaccharide (xanthan gum and kappa-carrageenan)-based nanoemulgels (NGs) enhanced with essential oil derivatives; pure citral (CT); pure carvacrol (CV); and various CT:CV ratios (25:75, 50:50, and 75:25) are presented. The obtained NGs are applied as active edible coatings for extending the shelf life of Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) green table olives of Chalkidiki. The zeta potential demonstrated the high stability of the treatments, while light scattering measurement and scanning electron microscopy images confirmed the <100 nm droplet size. EC50 indicated high antioxidant activity for all the tested samples. The fractional inhibitory concentration (FIC) confirmed the synergistic effect of NG with a CT:CV ratio at 50:50 against Staphylococcus aureus and at CT:CV ratios 25:75 and 75:25 against E. coli O157:H7. NG coatings with CT:CV ratios at 50:50 and at 25:75 effectively controlled the weight loss at 0.5%, maintained stable pH levels, and preserved the visual quality of green olives on day 21. The synergistic effect between CT and CV was confirmed as they reduced the spoilage microorganisms of yeasts and molds by 2-log [CFU/g] compared to the control and almost 1 log [CFU/g] difference from pure CT and CV-based NGs without affecting the growth of beneficial lactic acid bacteria crucial for fermentation. NGs with CT:CV ratios at 50:50 and at 25:75 demonstrated superior effectiveness in preventing discoloration and maintaining the main sensory attributes. Overall, shelf life extension was achieved in 21 compared to only 7 of the uncoated ones. Finally, this study demonstrates the potential of polysaccharide-based NGs in mixtures of CT and CV for the shelf life extension of fermented food products.

Biosurfactants: Chemical Properties, Ecofriendly Environmental Applications, and Uses in the Industrial Energy Sector

The exploitation of nature and the increase in manufacturing production are the cause of major environmental concerns, and considerable efforts are needed to resolve such issues. Oil and petroleum derivatives constitute the primary energy sources used in industries. However, the transportation and use of these products have huge environmental impacts. A significant issue with oil-related pollution is that hydrocarbons are highly toxic and have low biodegradability, posing a risk to ecosystems and biodiversity. Thus, there has been growing interest in the use of renewable compounds from natural sources. Biosurfactants are amphipathic microbial biomolecules emerging as sustainable alternatives with beneficial characteristics, including biodegradability and low toxicity. Biosurfactants and biosurfactant-producing microorganisms serve as an ecologically correct bioremediation strategy for ecosystems polluted by hydrocarbons. Moreover, synthetic surfactants can constitute additional recalcitrant contaminants introduced into the environment, leading to undesirable outcomes. The replacement of synthetic surfactants with biosurfactants can help solve such problems. Thus, there has been growing interest in the use of biosurfactants in a broad gamut of industrial sectors. The purpose of this review was to furnish a comprehensive view of biosurfactants, classifications, properties, and applications in the environmental and energy fields. In particular, practical applications of biosurfactants in environmental remediation are discussed, with special focus on bioremediation, removal of heavy metals, phytoremediation, microbial enhanced oil recovery, metal corrosion inhibition, and improvements in agriculture. The review also describes innovating decontamination methods, including nanobioremediation, use of genetically modified microorganisms, enzymatic bioremediation, modeling and prototyping, biotechnology, and process engineering. Research patents and market prospects are also discussed to illustrate trends in environmental and industrial applications of biosurfactants.

Development of method and analysis protocol for fatty acids derivatives of castor oil by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry

Castor oil is a vegetable oil extracted from castor beans, known for its diverse applications across the chemical industry, food industry, skincare products, biodiesel components, and pharmaceuticals. Analyzing the fatty acid composition of castor oil using Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) can be complex due to various factors inherent to fatty acids and the oil's composition. Therefore, the goal of this study is to effectively separate and analyze the major fatty acids present in castor oil using GC-MS. Castor oil was methylated using alcoholic potassium hydroxide, then neutralized with salicylic acid and centrifuged. The supernatant was diluted and injected into the GC-MS with a developed temperature program. The results indicated that castor oil contains five fatty acids: ricinoleic acid methyl ester, oleic acid methyl ester, linoleic acid methyl ester, stearic acid methyl ester, and palmitic acid methyl ester, with respective concentrations of 87.63%, 1.81%, 6.57%, 2.93%, and 1.07%. Among these, methyl ricinoleate was the most abundant at approximately 87.36%, while palmitic acid methyl ester had the lowest concentration at 1.07%. The order of fatty acids detected was methyl ricinoleate > linoleic acid > stearic acid > oleic acid methyl ester > palmitic acid. To our knowledge, this is the first report of an easy and efficient method for the analysis of castor oil. In conclusion, the developed methylation of castor oil and gas chromatography temperature program are suitable for the routine analysis of castor oil.

Recycling of waste edible oil derivatives as phase change materials for building energy conservation

A novel phase change microcapsule with waste edible oil derivatives core shelled by silica was prepared for building energy conservation. The substance composition, phase change parameters, and functional group of the derivatives were characterized. The phase change temperature, phase change enthalpy, and particle size of phase change microcapsules were determined. The effect of microcapsules on foamed concrete was evaluated, including mechanical and thermal properties. The results indicate that the waste edible oil derivatives with a phase change temperature of around 18 °C and a phase change enthalpy of about 140J/g are mainly composed of 73.8% methyl palmitate and 16.2% methyl oleate. The phase change temperature and enthalpy of the microcapsules with a 1:1 shell-to-core ratio are 20 °C and 73J/g, respectively. Additionally, the Dv (50) and Dv (90) of the microcapsules are 139 μm and 380 μm, respectively. Furthermore, the recommended dosage of microcapsules in foamed concrete should not exceed 6.0 wt% considering the mechanical properties of foamed concrete. During the heating process, the temperature of foamed concrete containing 6.0 wt% microcapsules is up to 4.3 °C lower than that of conventional concrete. On the other hand, the cooling rate of foamed concrete containing 6.0 wt% microcapsules is 51.5% lower than that of conventional concrete. This work realizes both building energy conservation and resource utilization of waste edible oil.

Environmental Implications of Energy Sources: A Review on Technologies for Cleaning Oil-Contaminated Ecosystems

This review analyzes the main methods for cleaning up oil pollution in natural ecosystems, with a particular focus on the synergy between chemical and microbiological techniques for environmental remediation. While biological methods are a green and inexpensive soil remediation technique, they have a major limitation in their inability to clean up high concentrations of toxic contaminants. The poor performance of chemical methods stems from the high cost of chemicals and concerns over their negative and toxic effects on the environment. Physical methods also have high costs due to energy consumption and the need for additional treatment of gases generated during decontamination, making them ineffective for soil remediation. The main principle of bioremediation is based on microorganisms’ ability to degrade complex organic compounds, such as petroleum. This process is described in this review. This combination of methods allows for a higher level of decontamination of soil and water ecosystems, even against pollutants that are usually resistant to degradation, such as oil derivatives. While existing methods for cleaning oil-contaminated ecosystems are highly effective, they require significant material costs to implement. Additionally, the review discusses how the joint use of current and future biotechnology techniques can lead to the development of an effective set of strategies to protect soil and water systems from oil pollution. The reviewed studies show that a hybrid biotechnological approach is the most effective remediation method. When biological decontamination methods are adopted, the optimized combination of different remediation strategies can overcome the limitations of each technique, allowing efficiencies of even more than 70% to be achieved, given that the choice still depends on the type of contaminant, its concentration, and the properties of the receiving substrate.

Waste derived polysulphide coating on fly ash as fillers in plastic composite

Modifying fly ash (FA) for filler application can facilitate a cleaner, high volume and high value-application of FA. One of the major hurdles of utilizing unencapsulated FA as fillers is due to its hydrophilicity and tendency to leach out metals. The current study aims to develop a surface-modified FA (SuMo FA) as a suitable filler by coating it with a cross-linked polysulfide polymer from waste sulphur and oil derivatives. A Class F FA was coated with an in-house developed polysulfide polymer and was followed by a series of physicochemical analysis and 24-h batch leaching tests. This SuMo FA was compounded within PP and PE matrix and its thermo-mechanical properties were evaluated. The novel SuMo FA was ideal for filler application as it exhibited suitable spherical shape and size, hydrophobicity (contact angle ≅120°), and reduced leaching potential. Major contaminants (B, Cr, Pb, and Sr) in leachate of SuMo FA decreased by more than one order. Compounding the SuMo FA in polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) at 20 % (by weight) increased the onset temperature as compared to virgin polymers as well as filler-based polymers (with uncoated FA and CaCO3). Similarly, the SuMo FA filled polymers exhibited the best overall mechanical properties (under flexural and tensile loading) as well as notch impact strength. The Shore D hardness implies that SuMo FA filled polymers were almost identical to the conventionally used CaCO3 filled polymers. The leachate concentration of final PP composites with FA and SuMo FA fillers were lower than the regulatory limit for B, Ba, Cr and Sr. The developed filler material from the SuMo FA can potentially reduce dependence on relatively costly CaCO3 fillers in polymer production thus adhering to United Nation sustainable development goals (6 and 12).

Facile Modification of Propiolated Castor Oil via Nucleophilic Thiol‐Yne Click Reactions

AbstractThe combination of modern click protocols and bio‐based building blocks is a great step toward energy‐efficient, and sustainable polymer production. Herein, thiol‐Michael addition (thiol‐yne) reactions from the toolbox of click chemistry protocols are chosen and propiolated castor oil (PCO) is used, a vegetable oil derivative, as the bio‐based building block for the facile functionalization of PCO with various thiols. In addition to the functionalization of PCO, hyperbranched and crosslinked polymers are also prepared. The thiol‐yne click functionalization reactions of the PCO are conducted at room temperature within 5 min and in the presence of an organic catalyst. The yields are found to change between 80% and 99% depending on the type of the thiol compound. The effect of various organic catalysts is investigated, and 1,8‐diazabicyclo(5.4.0)undec‐7‐ene (DBU) is found to be the most effective catalyst for the thiol‐yne modification reactions. The hyperbranched polymer reaches 23.8 kDa (Mw) within 5 min. The findings of this paper open up new horizons for polymer researchers who work in the field of sustainable polymers and click chemistry and the presented idea here is appealing because it offers a potential strategy for fast, reliable, modular, and functional macromolecule preparation from renewable vegetable oils.

The Effects of Energy Commodities on CPI

From 2021-2023, the US saw a period of unparalleled inflation. Prompted by the debate on the role of energy prices, this paper investigates the role of rising energy commodities in this inflationary trend. Focusing on the Consumer Price Index (CPI-U), we explore the direct and indirect effects of energy commodity price changes. Despite the sector's 3-5% CPI weight, energy commodities exhibit significant volatility, contributing to 30% of monthly inflation fluctuations on average. The study identifies Gasoline and Fuel oil, both crude oil derivatives, as key components. Additionally, we assess the secondary pass-through effects, mainly through the transportation and industrial sectors. This research provides insights into the substantial impact of energy commodities on inflation and encourages further exploration on this topic, which can enhance economic forecasts and possibly monetary policy forecasts.

Indulging Curiosity: Preliminary Evidence of an Anxiolytic-like Effect of Castor Oil and Ricinoleic Acid.

In the process of validating the elevated zero maze, a common test of anxiety-like behavior, in our laboratory, we demonstrated an anxiolytic-like effect of castor oil and its primary component, ricinoleic acid. We tested the effects of vehicle and chlordiazepoxide in male mice in the elevated zero maze following a 30-min pretreatment time. Chlordiazepoxide is a United States Food and Drug Administration-approved drug that was previously shown to exert anxiolytic-like effects in both the elevated zero maze and elevated plus maze. Chlordiazepoxide was administered at doses of 5 or 10 mg/kg. We used 5% polyoxyl 35 castor oil (Kolliphor® EL) and saline as treatment vehicles and found that the effect of chlordiazepoxide on open zone occupancy and open zone entries was blunted when 5% Kolliphor was used as the vehicle. These tests demonstrated that chlordiazepoxide increased open zone occupancy and entries in the elevated zero maze more effectively when saline was used as the treatment vehicle and that Kolliphor dampened the anxiolytic-like effect of chlordiazepoxide when it was used as the treatment vehicle. Notably, 5% Kolliphor alone slightly increased baseline open zone occupancy and entries. Given that Kolliphor is a derivative of castor oil, we next tested the effect of 5% castor oil and 5% ricinoleic acid, which is a major component of castor oil. We found that both castor oil and ricinoleic acid increased open zone occupancy but not entries compared with saline. Altogether, our findings demonstrate that Kolliphor, castor oil, and ricinoleic acid may exert anxiolytic-like effects in male mice in the elevated zero maze. This potential anxiolytic-like effect of castor oil is consistent with its well-established beneficial effects, including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antifungal, and pain-relieving properties.

Narrative Analysis Of European Union Deforestation Regulations On Indonesian And Malaysian Palm Oil Commodities

The implementation of the EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products is the current problem point, so the study refers to implementing deforestation regulation for certain trade goods or commodities. This study provides a brief overview of the EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products. The study also aims to examine the development of ASEAN’s trade pattern, especially Indonesia and Malaysia, with the European Union, which will be reviewed below. In order to facilitate the analysis of the European Union’s green economic policies, particularly the impact of the EU Regulation on deforestation-free products, the study needs to develop a research question. How does the EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products hinder trade in Indonesian and Malaysian palm oil derivatives and products? Moreover, how about a fair recommendation for solving this problem? Case studies and research on the issue of trade in palm oil commodities in the European Union have been carried out a lot. However, the discussed study tries to provide an argumentative explanation using a narrative analysis approach.

How much do Mexicans pay for regulation in the transportation of oil products?

The new oil derivatives transportation scheme proposed by the 2013 Mexican Energy Reform allowed new participants to enter the sector. The new legal framework requires fulfilling many requirements and corresponding duties for the transportation of oil products. The Mexican government already has an institution dedicated to measuring the regulatory cost of each federal procedure. This work aims to quantify the regulatory costs associated with the procedures and their compliance to obtain permits for transporting oil products by truck. We use the standard cost method to measure these costs, considering all associated costs. The results showed that two government offices did not adequately measure these costs. They did not consider relevant information on frequency and opportunity costs, resulting in undervaluation and leading to wrong expectations. As a result of this research, we provide a more accurate way of estimating these costs, which brings greater certainty in the budgeting of these projects and, therefore, increases the probability of survival and success.

Applying Theorem of Ross to Transition Probability Matrix in Energy Options Pricing after Political Tensions and Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Probability Matrix, it is necessary to obtain energy options pricing. The paper found the true probabilities of transition from the current state of the market to other states. The energy options pricing including effects of Political tensions is proposed. The methods are based on true probabilities of transition to the next state of the energy market. It can be used to predict the movement of the underlying asset of energy options (oil and gas derivatives pricing). For example, one strategy might be to compare the energy sources at the beginning 2022 (before 24.02.2024) with the current state of the market. The results show that this matrix can be implemented in energy options pricing, which represents the true probabilities of transition from the current state of the market to modern state. Practical implementation is an investment strategy in oil and gas futures that should include the median of a given distribution with the current state of the market after beginning of Russia-Ukraine conflict. The absence of arbitrage opportunities is a fundamental principle underlying modern financial pricing theory. This concept is peculiar to the statement of the fundamental theorem of asset pricing. The results prove idea that at a fixed point in time is the information about some market quotations of American Call options can be determined. The results have a set of quotes that are available in both directions: both for strikes and for periods to maturity.

Structure and functionality of surface-active amylose-fatty amine salt inclusion complexes

Novel value-added starch-based materials can be produced by forming amylose inclusion complexes (AIC) with hydrophobic compounds. There is currently little research on AIC use as polymeric emulsifiers, particularly for AIC with fatty amine salt ligands. This work evaluated AIC emulsifiers by studying the structure and functionality of AIC composed of high amylose corn starch and fatty amine salts (10–18 carbons, including a mixture simulating vegetable oil composition) produced via steam jet cooking. X-ray scattering verified successful AIC formation, with peaks located near 7.0°, 12.8° and 19.9° 2θ. AIC were easily dispersed in water (80–85 °C) and remained in suspension at room temperature for weeks, unlike the uncomplexed ligands or starch. AIC were highly effective emulsifying agents, with emulsifying activity indexes of 213–229 m2g−1 at pH 5, and zeta potentials, a measure of electrostatic repulsion, as high as 43.4 mV. AIC dispersions had surface tension ranging from 24 to 41 mN/m and displayed surface-active properties superior to amylose complexes formed from fatty acid salts and competitive with common starch-based emulsifiers. These findings demonstrate that fatty amine salt AIC are effective emulsifiers that can be made from low-cost sources of fatty amine salts, such as vegetable oil derivatives.

COMPARATIVE EFFICACY OF NEEM OIL DERIVATIVES WITH IMIDACLOPRID AGAINST OKRA JASSID, AMRASCA BIGUTTULA (ISHIDA)

The present research study was conducted at the experimental field condition of Pakistan Agricultural Research Council, Southern Zone Agricultural Research Centre, University of Karachi, to compare the field performance of different neem oil derivatives doses with Imidacloprid, sprayed on okra crop against the jassid population. The experiments were carried out RCBD with the application of four treatments, including three different concentrations of neem oils at (2%, 1.5%, and 1%) with the comparison of Imidacloprid pesticide and control. Neem oil was selected as a natural pesticide against jassid population reduction on okra crop. All the treatments were sprayed twice and data were recorded before 24h of pre-treatment and post-treatment at 48h, 72h, and 144h, respectively. The overall maximum reduction % after the application of Imidacloprid against the jassid population was calculated (61.51%) in 1st spray and (58.25%) 2nd spray, followed by (43.01%), (39.75%) at 2%, consequent to (32.50%), (29.75%), at 1.5% and (25.55%), (24.52%) at 1%, respectively. The maximum efficacy in neem oil concentration was recorded at 2% followed by 1.5%, and 1% but all neem oil concentrations including Imidacloprid observed effective from the 1st day up to the 6th post-spray days. All neem oil concentrations after 24h, 48h, 72h, and 144h of post-spray found significantly different at (P< 0.05). The application of neem oil, 2% caused the phytotoxicity reduction in okra plants. Thus, it is recommended that the bio-pesticide should be applied at 1.5% neem oil concentration against the jassid pest population.

Purification of Used Lubricating Oils Using Vacuum Distillation

Engine oil (EO) is produced by mixing base oil derivatives from crude oil with chemical additives to the lubricity of moving parts and reduce the friction inside the engine. Used lubricating oil (ULO) is one of the hazardous materials that consists of pollution harmful to the environment, it needs to be managed properly. In this work, vacuum distillation technique is used to recycle used lubricating oil. Used lubricating oil samples from two different brands of diesel engine oil (20w-50) and gasoline engine oil (10W-30) are used in this study. Various properties of ULO and recycled oil were characterized such as kinematic viscosity, viscosity index, density, pour point, flash point, Sulphur content, and Fourier transform Infrared spectroscopy FTIR. The yield recycles for ULO of gasoline engines, diesel engines, and mix (gasoline and diesel) by vacuum process were 85%, 74%, and 75% respectively, it was discovered that the sulfur component decreased from 9792.3 ppm of ULO to 405 ppm of yield distillates. The pour point results show an increase from -30 °C of used lubricating oil to -18 and -6 for distillates cut for vacuum distillation, compared to the pour point of Iraqi base oil 40 and 60 Stook (SN150 and SN200) -18 °C and -6 °C

Preparation and property analysis of antioxidant of carbazole derivatives

Carbazole derivatives can be used as antioxidants in the lubricating oil industry. The alkylation of carbazole with 2-chloro-2-methylpropane and 2-bromopropane catalyzed by anhydrous aluminum chloride was studied. Initially, 3,6-di-iso-propylcarbazole and 3,6-di-tert-butylcarbazole were using dichloromethane and dibromomethane as solvents at room temperature, respectively. The synthesis conditions were optimized. Subsequently, the effects of reaction time, catalyst dosage, and molar ratio of carbazole to alkylating agent were investigated, and orthogonal experiments were performed. The structures of the carbazole derivatives were characterized by Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), mass spectrum (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). The thermal stability of the synthesized carbazole derivatives was investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The carbazole derivatives were added into the lubricating oil with a mass fraction of 0.8% and the miscibility, stability and oxidation resistance of the mixed system were evaluated by mechanical stirring and a rotary pressure vessel oxidation test (RPVOT). The DSC results showed that there was good thermal stability for the carbazole derivatives. The mechanical stirring method revealed good solubility and stability for the mixture of oil and carbazole derivatives. The RPVOT results showed that isopropyl carbazole derivatives could increase the oxidation induction period of lubricating oil to 1.39 times, and tert-butyl carbazole derivatives could increase the oxidation induction period of lubricating oil to 1.91 times. The antioxidant effect of tert-butyl carbazole derivatives was better than that of isopropyl carbazole derivatives.

Surface‐methacrylated microcrystalline cellulose bioresins with soybean oil for additive manufacturing via vat photopolymerization

AbstractThe additive manufacturing (AM) industry increasingly looks to differentiate itself by utilizing materials and processes that are green, clean, and sustainable. Biopolymers, bio‐sourced raw materials and light weighting of parts 3D printed with photopolymer resins each represent critical directions for the future of AM. Here, we report a series of bio‐based composite resins with soybean oil derivatives, up to 20% by weight of surface‐methacrylated micro‐crystalline cellulose (MCC) and 60% total bio‐based content for vat photopolymerization based additive manufacturing. The ultimate tensile strengths of the materials were found to increase up to 3X, the Young's moduli increased up to 10X, and the glass transition temperature increased by 11.3°C when compared to the neat resin without surface‐methacrylated MCC as a filler. Working curves and shrinkage factors were used to demonstrate how the surface‐methacrylated MCC causes changes in the dimensions of printed parts, to facilitate development of optimized print parameters based on the UV intensity of the 3D printer being used. These results will allow further development of commercial 3D printable resins with a high concentration of bio‐based fillers that print well and perform on par with conventional resins.
