Having the advantage of eco-friendly decomposition, bioplastics could be used to replace petroleum-based plastics. In particular, poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) is one of the most commercialized bioplastics, however, necessitating the introduction of PHB-degrading bacteria for its effective disposal. In this study, Microbulbifer sp. SOL66 (94.18% 16S rRNA with similarity to Microbulbifer hydrolyticus) demonstrated the highest degradation activity among five newly screened Microbulbifer genus strains. Microbulbifer sp. SOL66 showed a rapid degradation yield, reaching 98% in 4 days, as monitored by laboratory scale, gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, gel permeation chromatography, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The PHB film was completely degraded within 7 days at 37 °C in the presence of 3% NaCl. When 1% xylose and 0.4% ammonium sulfate were added, the degradation activity increased by 17% and 24%, respectively. In addition, this strain showed biodegradability on pellets of poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate), as confirmed by weight loss and physical property changes. We confirmed that Microbulbifer sp. SOL66 has a great ability to degrade PHB, and has rarely been reported to date.

The Americal Old Corrugated Containers (AOCC) was treated with laccase. Fiber morphology, molecular weight and distribution of lignin were analyzed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Through the model compound of lignin (ferulic acid) was treated by laccase, the correlative mechanism for improvement of the wet-strength of pulp by laccase was discussed. The results showed that the molecular weight of lignin decreased and the lignin adhered on the fiber surface after the pulp was treated by laccase. While the laccase treated pulp with heating treatment, the condensation degree of lignin and adhesion area on fiber increased. In addition, when the ferulic acid was treated by laccase, the results were similar to AOCC pulp.

Abstract A multiresidue method for quantitative determination of 39 organophosphorus compounds (parent pesticides and their major metabolites) in 7 fatty processed foods is described. Samples are extracted with methylene chloride and cleaned up by automated gel permeation chromatography with a Biobeads SX3 column and a methylene–chloridecyclohexane (15 + 85) eluant. Organophosphorus compounds are quantitated by capillary gas-liquid chromatography with flame photometric detection using OV-1701 and DB-5 columns. Average recoveries from samples fortified at 0.025–1 mg/kg ranged from 50.6% for dichlorvos to 185% for malaoxon. Determination limits were between 0.005 and 0.040 μg/mL. Results were confirmed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry with selected-ion monitoring.

The polycaprolactone (PCL) microparticles fabricated by electrospray technique have been studied and applied in drug and protein delivery system. The degradation of PCL and the release of drug/protein from the polymeric microparticles (MPs) were desired to happen simultaneously. When the new dosage was administrated, the PCL MPs were degraded and eliminated out of the body. This research indicated that the degradation of PCL was influenced by the various morphology of electrosprayed microparticles. The different sizes of 11.8 μm and 5.17 μm and the various shapes of the PCL MPs such as hollow, porous and wrinkle particles and spheres were investigated the PCL degradation in the PBS solution, at pH 7.4. The morphology of PCL MPs was designed by controlling the polymer solution and the electrosprayed processing parameters such as the flow rate and collecting distance. Scanning electron microscopy and gel permeation chromatography were order to determine the change of the morphology and number molecule weight (Mn) of PCL MPs. The porous, distorted and smaller particles reduced the Mn faster than the microspheres because of the larger surface area of MPs contacted with PBS solution. After 77 days, PCL MPs which were fabricated by the processing parameter, including 2.5% PCL in DCM, flow rate of 0.8 mL/h, voltage of 18 kV, collecting distance of 25 cm, reduced 49.96% molecular weight (decreasing from Mn= 80,438 g/mol to 40,225 g/mol).

Mucilage isolated from seeds of Manilkara zapota (Linn.) P. Royen syn. is a plant growing naturally in the forests of India. This mucilage is yet to be commercially exploited, and characterized as polymer. Various physicochemical methods like particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, thermal analysis, gel permeation chromatography, X-ray diffraction spectrometry, zeta potential, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy have been employed to characterize this gum in the present study. Particle size analyses suggest that mucilage has particle size in nanometer. Scanning electron microscopy analysis suggests that the mucilage has irregular particle size. The glass transition temperature of the gum was observed to be 138°C and 136°C by differential scanning calorimetry and differential thermal analysis, respectively. The thermogravimetric analysis suggested that mucilage had good thermal stability. The average molecular weight of mucilage was determined to be 379180, by gel permeation chromatography, while the viscosity of mucilage was observed to be 219.1 cP. The X-ray diffraction spectrometry pattern of the mucilage indicates a completely amorphous structure. Elemental analysis of the gum revealed the contents of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur to be 80.9 (%), 10.1 (%), 1.58 (%), and 512 (mg/kg), respectively. Mucilage had specific content of calcium, magnesium, potassium, lower concentrations of aluminum, cadmium, cobalt, lead, and nickel. The major functional groups identified from FT-IR spectrum include 3441 cm−1 (–OH), 1660 cm−1 (Alkenyl C–H & C=C Stretch), 1632 cm−1 (–COO–), 1414 cm−1 (–COO–), and 1219 cm−1 (–CH3CO). Analysis of mucilage by paper chromatography and 1D NMR, indicated the presence of rhamnose, xylose, arabinose, mannose, and fructose.
