Before the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into fuel such as ethanol, the biomass needs to be pretreated and the yield of ethanol is highly dependent on the pretreatment efficiency. This study investigate the performance of deep eutectic solvent (DES) in pretreating sago waste which is a type of starchy biomass. The suitable type of DES in sago waste pretreatment was selected based on three criteria, which is the structural characteristic, the sugar yield during enzymatic hydrolysis and the amount of sugar loss during pretreatment. In this study, three types of DES namely Choline Chloride-Urea (ChCl-Urea), Choline Chloride-Citric acid (ChCl-CA) and Choline Chloride-Glycerol (ChCl-Glycerol) was investigated. The effect of temperature and duration on DES pretreatment was also investigated. All DES reagents were able to disrupt the structure and increase the porosity of sago waste during pretreatment. ChCl-Urea was selected in this study as it shows apparent structural disruption as examined under Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The highest glucose yield of 5.2 mg/mL was derived from enzymatic hydrolysis of ChCl-Urea pretreated sago waste. Moreover, reducing sugar loss during ChCl-Urea pretreatment was low, with only 0.8 mg/mL recorded. The most suitable temperature and duration for ChCl-Urea pretreatment is at 110°C and 3 hr. In a nutshell, the application of DES in pretreatment is feasible and other aspects such as the biodegradability and recyclability of DES is worth investigating to improve the economic feasibility of this pretreatment technique.

Factors, including pH, temperature, glucose concentration, and iron compounds, affect the activity of plant myrosinase and, consequently, endogenous glucosinolate degradation. These factors also may affect glucosinolate degradation by bacterial myrosinase. Therefore, this study examined the effect of temperature (4 to 21°C), glucose (0.05 to 1.0%), and iron (10 mM ferrous or ferric) on sinigrin degradation by Salmonella or Listeria monocytogenes cocktails in Mueller-Hinton broth and the effect of sinigrin degradation on bacterial viability. The degradation of sinigrin by both pathogens increased with higher temperatures (21 > 10 > 4°C). Salmonella and L. monocytogenes cocktails hydrolyzed 59.1 and 53.2% of sinigrin, respectively, at 21°C up to 21 days. Both iron compounds significantly enhanced sinigrin degradation by the pathogens. On day 7, sinigrin was not detected when the Salmonella cocktail was cultured with ferrous iron or when the L. monocytogenes cocktail was cultured in Mueller-Hinton broth containing ferric iron. In contrast, ferric and ferrous iron inhibited the activity of 0.002 U/ml myrosinase from white mustard by 63 and 35%, respectively, on day 1. Salmonella and L. monocytogenes cocktails were able to degrade >80% of sinigrin at 0.05 and 0.1% glucose; however, 0.25 to 1.0% glucose significantly reduced sinigrin degradation. Although both pathogens significantly degraded sinigrin, the allyl isothiocyanate (AITC) recoverable was ≤6.2 ppm, which is not inhibitory to Salmonella or L. monocytogenes. It is probable that the gradual hydrolysis of sinigrin to form AITC either did not produce an inhibitory level of AITC or the AITC formed was unstable in the aqueous medium and rapidly decomposed to new compounds that were less bactericidal against the pathogens.

S. platensis is a microalga that contains carbohydrate composition of 30.21% which makes it potential to be used as raw material for ethanol production. Hydrolysis of S. platensis is the first step for converting its carbohydrates into monosaccharides. The second step is fermentation of monosaccharides into ethanol. This research aims to study the effect of temperature and microalgae concentration on the hydrolysis of S. platensis using sulfuric acid as catalyst. This research was conducted using 300 mL sulfuric acid of 2 mol/L, hydrolysis temperatures of 70, 80 and 90 °C, and microalgae concentrations of 20, 26.7, and 33.3 g/L. The effect of temperature is significant in the hydrolysis of S. platensis using sulfuric acid. At microalgae concentration of 20 g/L and hydrolysis time of 35 minutes, the higher the temperatures (70, 80, and 90 °C), the more the glucose yields would be (8.9, 13.5, and 22.9%). This temperature effect got stronger when the hydrolysis was running for 15 minutes. Every time the hydrolysis temperature increased by 10 °C, the glucose yield increased by 13.0% at microalgae concentration of 33.3 g/L. At temperature of 90 °C and time of 35 minutes, the higher the microalgae concentrations (20, 26.7, and 33.3 g/L), the higher the glucose yields would be (25.5, 27.7, and 28.2%). The highest glucose concentration obtained was 2.82 g/L at microalgae concentration of 33.3 g/L, temperature of 90 °C, and time of 35 minutes.

Synthesis of ZnO nanoparticle and the hydrolysis of p-Acetoxynitrobenzene to p-Nitrophenol (p-NP) under aqueous phase conditions in the presence of ZnO nanoparticle has been carried out. Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs) are prepared by using simple precipitation method. Ammonia is used as a precipitating agent and ZnCl[Formula: see text]H2O as a starting material. The obtained ZnO NPs are characterized by using different techniques namely XRD, TGA/DTA, TEM, FT-IR, magnetic measurements and BET surface area analysis. ZnO NPs are evaluated for their catalytic properties in hydrolysis of p-Acetoxynitrobenzene to p-Nitrophenol (p-NP) under aqueous phase conditions. The effect of temperature and concentration has also been studied for the catalytic hydrolysis. This is to emphasize that the method used to synthesize these NPs is much simple and fiscal. The obtained ZnO NPs work as a good catalyst for the above conversion and are of low cost and easy to synthesize.
