TL;DR: In this paper, a pilot scale fluidized bed reactor was used to produce bio-oil and bio-char from corn cobs and corn stover (stalks, leaves and husks) by fast pyrolysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pectin-based systems for colon-specific drug delivery via oral route
TL;DR: Advantages, limitations, and possible future developments in pectin-based formulations with particular emphasis on the field of colon-specific drug delivery are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Encapsulation of Essential Oils in Zein Nanospherical Particles
TL;DR: Gel electrophoresis SDS-PAGE of zein incubated with freeze-dried swine manure solids at 37 degrees C indicated that preformed microbial enzymes capable of digesting zein within minutes were present in the manure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bioethanol production from barley hull using SAA (soaking in aqueous ammonia) pretreatment
TL;DR: Addition of xylanase along with cellulase resulted in synergetic effect on ethanol production in SSCF (simultaneous saccharification and co-fermentation) using SAA-treated barley hull and recombinant E. coli (KO11).
