“…Enzymatic hydrolysis, also called biotransformation, is a simple and effective process, whereby a cocktail of microbial-derived enzymes or microorganisms cut cleavages of moleculr bonds to transform complex substances into usable simple materials. Several commercial enzymes are used for enzyme-assisted extraction to enhance the biological activities of extracts [ 35 - 37 ]. In the present study, lower molecular weight of fucoidan produced using polysaccharide hydrolase and ultrafiltration was evaluated for its enhanced inhibitory effect on osteoclast differentiation.…”

“…The highest mucoadhesive strength (≈75%) was found for gelatin-coated alginate nanoparticles. They obtained sustained drug release in vitro for a period of 120 h. Hu et al [228] developed a new double-layer, pHsensitive, and composite hydrogel sustained-release system. Alginate and carboxymethyl cellulose crosslinked with Ca 2+ were used as the inner layer while the outer layer was made from synthetic materials of poly(acrylamide) or its derivative.…”

Over the past decade, the use of polysaccharides has gained tremendous attention in the field of medical technology. They have been applied in various sectors such as tissue engineering, drug delivery system, face mask, and bio‐sensing. This review article provides an overview and background of polysaccharides for biomedical uses. Different types of polysaccharides, for example, cellulose and its derivatives, chitin and chitosan, hyaluronic acid, alginate, and pectin are presented. They are fabricated in various forms such as hydrogels, nanoparticles, membranes, and as porous mediums. Successful development and improvement of polysaccharide‐based materials will effectively help users to enhance their quality of personal health, decrease cost, and eventually increase the quality of life with respect to sustainability.

Global warming and water/air contamination caused by human activities are major challenges in environmental pollution and climate change. The improper discharge of a large amount of agro-forest byproduct is accelerating these issues mainly in developing countries. The burning of agricultural byproducts causes global warming, whereas their improper waste management causes water/air pollution. The conversion of these waste materials into effective smart materials can be considered as a promising strategy in waste management and environmental remediation. Over the past decades, activated carbons (ACs) have been prepared from various agricultural wastes and extensively used as adsorbents. The adsorption capacity of ACs is linked to a well-developed porous structure, large specific surface area, and rich surface functional moieties. Activated carbon needs to increase their adsorption capacity, especially for specific adsorbates, making them suitable for specific applications, and this is possible by surface modifications of their surface chemistry. The modifications of surface chemistry involve the introduction of surface functional groups which can be carried out by various methods such as acid treatment, alkaline treatment, impregnation, ozone treatment, plasma treatment, and so on. Depending on the treatment methods, surface modification mainly affects surface chemistry. In this review, we summarized several modification methods for agricultural-waste-based ACs. In addition, the applications of AC for the adsorption of various pollutants are highlighted.
