TL;DR: In this paper, a new type of water-retaining, slow-release fertilizer (WSF) based on double-network hydrogels was fabricated via the ion-crosslinking of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and the free radical polymerization of polymerizable β-cyclodextrin (MAH-CD), polyethylene glycol dimethacrylate (PEGDA), acrylamide (AM), and acrylic acid (AA) with urea-loaded halloysite as an additive.

01 Sep 2021TL;DR: A review of the application and research of these by-products can be found in this article, where the main issues to be faced now and in the future are how to produce efficiently while maintaining the quality of the product and using it effectively.
Abstract: Corn is a high starchy cereal crop with the highest production and provides over 85% of the starch produced worldwide. Various by-products, differentiated by technological process features such as steep liquor, corn germ, corn bran, gluten, are created largely during corn starch processing. They are inexpensive, nutrient-rich, and vary widely in chemical composition such as proteins, oils, carbohydrates, and minerals. In an increasingly resource-constrained modern world, the utilization approach of these by-products for non-starch industrial processing is attractive widely considering both nutritive value and economic aspects. In fact, at present, applications of these by-products can often be found in feed, fermentation, nutrient extraction and other industries. For example, protein-rich corn gluten can be used as a good animal feed, and corn germ can be used as a raw material for the high-quality edible oil industry. Undoubtedly, increasing utilization means that these by-products will no longer be treated as waste but will be transformed into high value-added products. In this work, the separation process and chemical composition of several main by-products of the corn starch industry is briefly described, and the application in many industrial fields of these by-products over the last ten years are discussed in particular. This review attempts to summarize all aspects of the application and research of these by-products. For the by-products of the corn starch industry, the most promising way is to be utilized in high value and used to produce high value-added products. According to the characteristics of their chemical composition, they have a better application prospect and research significance in the industries directly related to human beings, such as medicine, green food and health care products. In fact, in recent years, some researchers have recognized this and carried out the research. It is clear from these studies that the main issues to be faced now and in the future are how to produce efficiently while maintaining the quality of the product and using it effectively. The retrospective discussions also provide some ideas for other grain and oilseed crops to be fully utilized.

TL;DR: It is found that adhesion is the major mechanism for cell immobilization and that it is greatly affected by the hydrophilic–hydrophilic surface properties of nitric acid treated carbon fiber.
Abstract: Nitric acid (HNO3)-treated carbon fiber (CF) rich in hydrophilic groups was applied as a cell-immobilized carrier for xylitol fermentation. Using scanning electron microscopy, we characterized the morphology of the HNO3-treated CF. Additionally, we evaluated the immobilized efficiency (IE) of Candida tropicalis and xylitol fermentation yield by investigating the surface properties of nitric acid treated CF, specifically, the acidic group content, zero charge point, degree of moisture and contact angle. We found that adhesion is the major mechanism for cell immobilization and that it is greatly affected by the hydrophilic–hydrophilic surface properties. In our experiments, we found 3 hto be the optimal time for treating CF with nitric acid, resulting in an improved IE of Candida tropicalis of 0.98 g∙g−1 and the highest xylitol yield and volumetric productivity (70.13% and 1.22 g∙L−1∙h−1, respectively). The HNO3-treated CF represents a promising method for preparing biocompatible biocarriers for multi-batch fermentation.

TL;DR: Washing and cooking of rice lowered the health risk by reducing Cd, As and Pb concentrations and bioaccessibilities respectively.
Abstract: The health risk of heavy metals such as cadmium (Cd), arsenic (As) and lead (Pb) in rice can be assessed by their concentration and bioaccessibility. In this work, japonica cultivar Xinfeng 2 and indica cultivar T-You 15 were washed, soaked and cooked using three common domestic cooking methods. The present study investigated the effects of washing, soaking, normal cooking, high-pressure cooking and microwave cooking on the concentration, bioaccessibility and health risk of Cd, As and Pb in rice.; Results: Washing significantly reduced concentrations of Cd, As and Pb, and all three types of cooking reduced bioaccessibilities of these elements. No significant differences in bioaccessibility were observed among rice prepared with different cooking methods. Concentrations and bioaccessibilities of Cd, As and Pb highly affected the values of average daily dose, hazard quotient and lifetime cancer risk. High concentration and bioaccessibility cause As to pose non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks to adults and children. Moreover, compared with adults, children have a high chance of exposure to non-carcinogenic and carcinogenic health risks.; Conclusion: Washing and cooking of rice lowered the health risk by reducing Cd, As and Pb concentrations and bioaccessibilities respectively. © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.; © 2018 Society of Chemical Industry.
