In this research, absorption and release characteristica of curcumin in bacterial cellulose (BC) film by Acetobacter xylinum was studied using the curcumin solution at 0.0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8 and 1.0 (mg/ml) absorbed into ...

Due to the similarity between the chemical structures of BC and chitosan, it is interesting to add chitosan to BC culture medium as it might improve the physical and biological properties of the developed BC-chitosan film. ...

In this work, biodiesel was produced from esterification of oleic acid and short chain alcohols (methanol, ethanol, propanol, and butanol) catalyzed by Novozym 435 in a batch system at conditions: 45°C, oleic to alcohol ...

Biofuels has received significant attention recently as a biodegradable and nonpolluting fuel. In this study, butyloleate was prepared in solvent-free system by esterification of oleic acid with butanol using immobilized ...

In response the energy crisis, ethanol has re-emerged as an alternative to, or extender for petroleum based liquid fuels. Continuous fermentation using immobilized cell carriers offers many advantages such as higher ...

The composite of bacterial cellulose (BC) and natural rubber (NR) has been developed in this study to combine the prominent properties between strength from three-dimensional structure of BC nanocellulose and flexible ...

Natural rubber (NR) sponges are a renewable biopolymer material derived from milky sap (latex) from rubber trees. In this study, composite sponges of natural rubber and cellulose (NR-C) with various compositions were ...

To modify the properties of bacterial cellulose (BC) in order to be suitably used in a specific medical application such as wound dressing, in this research, the bacterial cellulose-chitosan (BCC) and bacterial cellulose-Aloe ...

To study the development of calcium oxide based catalysts for transesterification of soybean oil with ethanol. The weak basic compounds (NH4OH) and the strong basic compounds (NaOH, KOH and Ca(OH)2) were used to load on ...

The main role of surface sizing is to increase the surface strength of paper. Starch is commonly used as surface sizing agents, but there are still some limitations. In this study, nano-bacterial cellulose (NBC) produced ...
