Abstract Biodiesel is a reliable and promising replacement of fossil diesel. It stable, less toxic can be produced from sustainable resources, including variety raw materials. Currently, the most widely used are vegetable oils (edible nonedible), due to their availability. The present paper considers potential obtaining fatty acid ethyl esters (FAEE) corn oil, which byproduct bioethanol product...

Glycerol valorisation is crucial for long-term economic viability due to the rise in biodiesel synthesis on a global scale. Therefore, it highly desirable convert bioglycerol into platform chemicals like solketal, fuel additive which will help sustain industry. Herein, glycerol transformed solketal utilising heterogeneous catalyst derived from SO3H-functionalized aromatic carbonaceous material ...

The gut microbiome is a highly complex microbial community that strongly impacts human health and disease. The two dominant phyla in healthy humans are Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes, with minor phyla such as Proteobacteria having elevated abundances in various disease states. While the gut microbiome has been widely studied, relatively little is known about the role of interspecies interactions ...

Filter treatment may be a viable means for removing the nitrate (NO3), phosphate (PO4), and pesticides discharged with agricultural drainage waters that cause adverse environmental impacts within the U.S. on local, regional, and national scales. Laboratory batch test screening for agricultural drainage water treatment potential was conducted on 58 industrial product/byproduct filter materials g...

Lactating dairy cow diets with more than 24% starch (DM basis) are common, but recent high corn prices have fueled a desire to feed lower-starch diets. The potential for using digestible neutral detergent fiber or pectin from byproduct feeds or sugars to partially replace starch from corn grain in diets fed to lactating dairy cows was reviewed. Potential modifying effects of corn silage, starch...

As manufacturing industries become more cognizant of the ecological effects that their firms have on the surrounding environment, their waste streams are increasingly becoming viewed not as materials in need of disposal, but rather as resources that can be reused, recycled, or reprocessed into valuable products. Within the food processing sector there are many examples of value-added use of pro...
