Supercritical Fluid Extraction: Mechanisms, Applications, and Recent Developments
Abstract: Supercritical Fluid Extraction (SFE) is an advanced and versatile separation technique that harnesses the unique properties of supercritical fluids (SCFs) to extract a wide variety of compounds from both solid and liquid matrices. Supercritical fluids, which are substances at a temperature and pressure above their critical points, possess both liquid-like density and gas-like viscosity, making them highly effective solvents for extraction processes. This review delves into the underlying mechanisms of …

Liquid-Liquid Extraction Strategies for the Isolation of Bioactive Heterocyclic Compounds
Abstract: Liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) is a widely employed technique for the isolation of bioactive heterocyclic compounds from natural products, fermentation broths, and synthetic mixtures. The efficiency of LLE depends on several factors, including solvent selection, pH manipulation, salting-out effects, and temperature control. Conventional solvent systems, such as water-organic solvent pairs, are commonly used, while advanced strategies, including ionic liquids (ILs), deep eutectic solvents (DESs), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), and microwave-assisted extraction (MAE), …

Bioremediation of Oil-Spilled Sites through Seeding Naturally Adapted Pseudomonas putida
Abstract: In the present study, crude oil degradation was analyzed using isolated bacterial strains. These bacterial strains were isolated from the crude-oil-contaminated soil sample. All the isolates were identified as species of Pseudomonas, in which the Pseudomonas putida P11 and LP1 demonstrated a strong ability to degrade kerosene, gasoline, diesel, engine oil and crude oil. Bioremediation for oil spill cleanup was analyzed by the inoculation of P. putida with the addition …

In Vitro Evaluation of Bioremediation Capacity of a Commercial Probiotic, Bacillus clausii, for Chromium (VI) and Lead (II) Toxicity
Abstract: Heavy metals cause disastrous effects on any living organisms. Probiotics have the ability to reduce metal toxicity. Commercial probiotics having bioremediation capacity can use these bacteria as an alternative to conventional remediation methods. The bioaccumulation of heavy metals including chromium (VI) (Cr [VI]) and lead (II) (Pb [II]) causes fatal toxicity in humans. Some naturally occurring bacterial species, such as Bacillus and Pseudomonas, contribute their role in bioremediation of these …

Optimization Strategies Towards Enhanced Production of Microbial Surfactants for Diverse Industrial Applications: A Futuristic Approach
Abstract: Chemical or synthetic surfactants being employed in numerous industries pose significant environmental hazards due to their persistence in the environment and potential toxicity to aquatic life. Biosurfactants are low-molecular-weight surface-active compounds that offer a promising alternative to surfactants owing to their less toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility nature. They are derived from a variety of natural sources, including bacteria, fungi, and plants. In recent years, there has been a surge in …

Sequential Extraction of Pectin and Cellulose from Orange Peel Waste: A Sustainable Waste-to-Valorization Approach
Abstract: Agricultural waste is a huge and underutilized resource of useful biomaterials that are best for sustainable use. The goal of the present study was to develop an integrated waste valorization approach, in which orange peel waste is valorized in the form of cellulose and pectin and their potential is assessed in combination with green synthesis of nanoparticles. Orange peel powder was treated with acid-assisted extraction to obtain pectin, and the …

Antimicrobial Activity of Waste Pulp of Citrus sinensis and Citrus limetta
Abstract: An antimicrobial is a substance which kills or inhibits the growth of different types of micro-organisms such as bacteria, fungi or protozoans. Citrus fruit products act as antimicrobial agents against the bacteria and the fungus. Citrus fruits belong to the family Rutaceae. The main objective was to determine the antimicrobial activity of Citrus sinensis waste pulp and to determine the antimicrobial activity of Citrus limetta waste pulp. The citrus pulp …
