Influence of Biopolymer Synthesized from Tamarind Seed Polysaccharide (TSP) on Seed Quality Parameters of Maize Hybrid COH(M) 8| Chapter 5 | Research Highlights in Agricultural Sciences Vol. 7

The current study looks at the effect of a biopolymer combined from Tamarind Seed Polysaccharide (TSP) on the seed character of a maize hybrid. The experiment was carried out in Department of Seed Science and Technology, Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu all along 2021. Biopolymer was synthesized from Tamarind Seed Polysaccharide (TSP) and additional with different supplements and coated on maize children. The polymer coated seeds were judged for its corporal and biochemical parameters. The seeds were likely with four situations viz.,T0- control (untreated children), T1- biopolymer (B.P) - 10g kg-1, T2- B.P (10g) + Humic acid (0.3g) + Zimmu (Allium cepa × Allium sativum) leaf extract (0.5 ml) and T3- T2+ Ascorbic acid (0.2 g) and evaluated for beginning quality limits. The findings of the current investigation granted that T3 was significantly superior namely., greater percentage of pregnancy (95%), rate of germination (31.64), beginning metabolic efficiency (2.78), seedling root distance (25.92 cm), seedling dash length (15.57 cm), total biomass production (9.41 g), vigour index I (3942), vigour Index-II (94.15). This situation also written greatest worth of biochemical parameters such as α-amylase (2.23), dehydrogenase (1.87 OD advantage), catalase (29.94) and peroxidase (7.00) activities. It curtailed the percentage of abnormal seedlings (2%), dead sources (3%), days to 50% germination (2.54), mean rise time (3.02) and pathogen contamination (0.25%). We concluded that T3-laminated maize seeds had improved small tree establishment and are urged as a pre-sowing seed treatment not living agriculture.

A Study of the Thermal and Mechanical Properties of Gelatin-based Bioplastics| Chapter 4 | Current Advances in Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 7

 Natural biopolymer proteins arisen fibrous insoluble collagen are usual by a wide range of commerces because of their ability to maintain and to be controlled easily. Scientists are interested in verdict alternative polymers of plastic that supply food safety in addition to being environmentally friendly. In this study, an inquiry was carried out to determine the possessions of gelatin as a bioplastic polymer for substitute of artificial film. This polymer is widely used as packing fabrics because of their good degradability and sustainability. In the laboratory, jam-based biofilms are produced by resolution casting in petri dishes. The results of qualified biofilms shows week stiffness (6.38 ± 0.20) and Break point elongation (611 ± 0.56) with separation energy 17 kJ/mol. However, 80% degradation worked out in gelatin biofilm with important protection given by gelatin coatings on food matters. Therefore, for strength, it is urged that to be mixed with the amount of synthesis and jam polymer, so it meets all the packing industry's accomplishment requirements.

Size Correlations Analysis of Polymeric Solution Microdroplets by Ultrasonic Atomization | Chapter 3 | Research Developments in Science and Technology Vol. 9

The purpose of this chapter is to demonstrate how size correlation analysis can be used to forecast the size of polymeric solution droplets starting from process variables and material characteristics. The droplets are created using ultrasonic-assisted atomization, a mechanical technique for dispersing liquid into thin spray. These latter ones are created for the aim of microencapsulation, which is useful in the creation of medications. When compared to other atomization methods, the advantages of ultrasonic atomization include lower energy requirements, smaller apparatuses, lower levels of mechanical stress in materials, and others. traditional methods. An overview of spraying techniques and the fundamentals of atomization are provided for this purpose. This work specifically discusses the function of important parameters in atomization helped by ultrasonics and presents correlations to forecast droplet size. Alginate solution sprays are intentionally created and subjected to experimental (measurements) and theoretical (calculation) size observations due to the interest in microencapsulation for medicinal applications. Because the size of microdroplets plays such a crucial role in pharmaceutical manufacture and because the size of drug carriers can affect the rate and duration of release of encapsulated therapeutic agents, the ability to apply trustworthy empirical correlations is very helpful.

An Overview of Optimization, Characterization, Recovery and Application of Polyhydroxyalkanoates Synthesized by Microorganisms | Book Publisher International

 If we work for a more sustainable future, the most significant roadblock is the quality and cost-effectiveness of plastics in most industries. As a result, bacterial polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) tend to be a promising candidate for replacing non-biodegradable plastics and combating the contamination caused by their accumulation over time. PHA are energy stores created by microbial cells that can be used in nutrient-deficient environments, and they have properties that are similar to non-degradable plastics that have been widely used by the general public for decades. They are also biodegradable and biocompatible. As a result, researchers and environmentalists are becoming increasingly interested in PHA-accumulating microorganisms as a potential replacement for existing plastics. PHA properties are influenced by a variety of physicochemical parameters as well as factors such as microbial strain, development, and nutritional conditions. Thus, even if formed by the same species isolated from different environments, studying different optimization parameters for PHA accumulation in bacterial cells and its characterization is extremely significant. Due to its biodegradable nature, PHAs have a wide range of applications, not just in marketing but also in medicine, using biotechnology and interdisciplinary approaches. This monograph provides an overview of the techniques used to screen PHA accumulators, optimise their aggregation, and characterise these polymers using analytical instruments that have been published in the literature. In addition, the various applications of PHAs in various fields are discussed.
