This study investigates the effect of enzyme formulations (Zympex-014, Kemzyme dry-plus and Natuzyme) on recovery of phenolics from Peganum hermala (harmal) leaves, under optimized conditions using response surface methodology. As compared to the other enzyme complexes, the yield (34 g/100g) obtained through Zympex-014-assisted extraction was higher under optimized conditions such as time (75 min), temperature (70°C), pH (6.5) and enzyme concentration (5 g/100 g) using central composite design (CCD). Effectiveness of Zympex-014 towards hydrolysis of P. hermala leaves cell wall was examined by analyzing the control and enzyme-treated leave residues using scanning electron microscope (SEM). GC/MS characterization authenticated the presence of quercetin (1.44), gallic acid (0.23), caffeic acid (0.04), cinnamic acid (0.05), m-coumaric acid (0.23) and p-coumaric acid (0.37 μg/g) as the potent phenolics in Zympex-014 based extract. It can be concluded from the findings of the current work that pre-treatment of P. hermala leaves with Zympex-014 significantly enhanced the recovery of phenolics that supports its potential uses in the nutra-pharamaceutical industry.

Fenton pretreatment has been used for treating dye wastewater. The effects of the dos of H2O2 and FeSO4, reaction time and pH on the removal COD were investigated. It was found that, when the reaction conditions are as follows: COD 2850 mg/L dyeing wastewater, the dosage of H2O2 is 140mmol/L, FeSO4 17.02 mmol/L, pH 7.6, and reaction time 1.0 h, the CODcr of dye wastewater removal rate of up to 70%. Fenton pretreatment process of dye wastewater has a broad prospect.
