“…The surfactants are capable of improving the enzymatic saccharification process to form reducing sugars [50] . Many researchers revealed that usage of surfactants for pre-treatment of various organic sources may reduce the specific energy and be found to be cost-effective [34] , [51] , [52] . Rajesh Banu et al, (2020) studied a cost-effective surfactant aided pre-treatment method for the production of bio methanation using microalgae [53] .…”

Introduction: Plant-based knowledge has been used for generations for personal protection from various mosquito species. The notion of applying such traditional perspectives in vector control research has received extensive attention in recent years. Unlike other common patterns, the present investigation has tried to explore the augmented production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in response to Stachytarpheta jamaicensis exposure with special inference on larvicidal potential, mode of action of phytochemical compounds, and oxidative stress. Methods: The larvicidal potential was determined as per the WHO protocol. Ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy was used to determine the excessive production of ROS. GC-MS was employed to characterise the phytochemical constituents. The statistical analysis was done by using SPSS version 24.0.0. Result: The acetone extract has been found to exhibit a maximum range of toxicity in terms of larvicidal potential and reactive oxygen species formation. Among the 40 phytochemical elements characterised, Cyclopropane, 1,1,2,2-Tetramethyl; Phenyl-Acetonitrile; Pyranone; Tetradecene; Neophytadiene; Mome Inositol; Monocrotaline; and Squalene may be responsible for the augmented production of ROS in the Culex quinquefasciatus. Conclusion: The phytochemical elements in Stachytarpheta jamaicensis displayed extensive toxicity and inhibited the normal development of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes by augmented production of reactive oxygen species, indicating its prominent role in oxidative stress.

“…Such methods are either available or in progress for various stages of the bioeconomy. These include: life‐cycle, sustainability, techno‐economic and economic assessments and analyses for biomass production, pretreatment, biorefining, product utilization, and waste management; 7,20,73–77 eco‐compatibility and environmental and ecological footprint analysis for processes and products; 78 toxicological assessment of the impacts of products on the health of humans, plants, and other organisms; 10 and assessment of the impact of industrial waste on the environment, to develop mitigation strategies 79 . Many sophisticated tools facilitate detailed understanding of lifecycle mechanism of molecules in the environment 80 .…”

The ongoing saga of the fossil carbon‐based economy affects the wellbeing of this planet and its associated life forms, including humans. Although the bioeconomy is widely advocated as a solution, it is not growing quickly enough due to various challenges. Here, we discuss emerging opportunities to overcome these barriers and enhance the bioeconomy's potential to contribute to achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals as a result of developments in biomass production and biorefining. A brief overview of current advances in biomass production, biorefining, and products together with their applications is provided. A comprehensive vision for the development of a sustainable bioeconomy is also given. Leveraging scientific and technological advances along with the support of modeling, assessment, and analyses, can help to address the sustainability concerns of the bioeconomy and accelerate its progress toward a carbon‐neutral future while strengthening bioeconomy concepts of contributing to equitable economic growth based on holistic sustainable development in harmony with nature. © 2021 Society of Industrial Chemistry and John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
