Novel flocculants for wastewater and industrial effluents treatment have been developed in authors' laboratory based on modified polysaccharides. These flocculants have unique characteristics i.e. they are efficient with low dose usage like synthetic flocculants (e.g. polyacrylamide) and controlled biodegradable, shear resistant and inexpensive like polysaccharides. As contaminants have varying ionocity, various kinds of nonionic, anionic and cationic flocculants have been developed in authors' laboratory. The recent approaches on the removal of toxic materials, removal of colour and reduction of total pollutant content from various wastewaters using modified polysaccharides is becoming more important in the present frontier research,

Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanoparticles (NPs), which are declared as generally recognized as safe by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, is discussed in this review to reveal their beneficial characteristics when incorporated into packaging matrixes for food packaging and preservation applications. Some of the major challenges in conventional packaging include microbial contamination, oxidation, moisture, gas, and UV transmission into the food, and lack of mechanical strength. These factors lead to poor shelf life, affect food quality, and cause food wastage. Advancement in packaging has shifted the focus toward nanotechnology. Nanotechnology is oriented toward the fabrication and application of materials with nanosized dimensions. Among various nanomaterials, current research has focused on ZnO NPs due to their properties and future applications. Incorporation of ZnO NPs into biopolymer packaging materials considerably enhanced the antimicrobial activity against foodborne pathogens and prolonged the shelf life of foodstuffs by a Trojan-horse strategy and reactive oxygen mechanism. Besides antimicrobial activity, ZnO NPs allow improvement of the antioxidant activity of the packaging materials by limiting the presence of oxygen in the headspace. Comprehensive ZnO nanocomposite (NC) biopolymer (BP) packaging features and their significance for food packaging applications are presented in this review. Furthermore, it discusses the effect of ZnO NPs on mechanical strength and barrier properties such as water vapor permeability, oxygen transmission rate, and UV transmission across the packaging material.

Binding of some heavy metal ions in aqueous solution with cationized or sulphonylated starch or waste starch

Contamination of water by heavy metal ions is a severe environmental problem. In this study, starch-or waste-starch-based binding agents were used to bind heavy metal ions in aqueous solutions in order to prevent the precipitation of metals in alkaline conditions (pH 10). This is a useful feature, e.g. when ultrafiltration is used as a purification technique for a low metal concentration containing wastewaters. The studied binding agents were water-soluble cationized depolymerized barley starch (CDS) prepared by depolymerization and subsequent cationization, sulphonylated starch (SS) and cationized depolymerized potato peel waste (CW), all of which have not been used previously as binding agents. The studied modified starches were investigated in the binding of Fe(III), Cu(II), Zn(II), or Ni(II) ions in aqueous solutions by utilizing inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) as an analytical method. Cationized depolymerized starch bound 80-100% of Fe(III), Zn(II), and Cu(II) ions and SS bound 85-95% of Fe(III), Zn(II), and Ni(II) ions when 0.5 mM metal ions solutions and molar ratio of starch:metal 0.66:1 were used. Cationized depolymerized waste starch bound Cu(II) ions 78-94% (0.25-2.5 mM metal ion solutions prepared with distilled or lake water) in aqueous solution with molar ratio of starch:metal varying from 1:1 to 3:1.
