Olive oil by‑product’s contribution to the recovery of phenolic compounds from microalgal biomass: biochemical characterization, anti‑melanogenesis potential, and neuroprotective effect
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Recently, the use of microalgae in the treatment of olive mill wastewater as a safe method for reducing pollutants has gained more attention. However, the contribution of such by-product to the improvement of the pharmacological ...
Coupling air stripping process and anaerobic digestion for the treatment of landfill leachate: organics degradation and cytotoxicity evaluation
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Landfill leachate (LFL) from a controlled discharge in Tunisia was found to be highly loaded with ammonia. This study investigated the feasibility of an air stripping process aiming to mitigate the inhibitory effect of ...
An overview of the occurrence, fate, and human risks of the bisphenol-A present in plastic materials, components, and products.
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
With over 95% of bisphenol-A (BPA) used in the production of polycarbonate (PC) and epoxy resins, termed here as BPA-based plastic materials, components, and products (MCPs), an investigation of human exposure to BPA over ...
Techno-economic modelling of high-value metabolites and secondary products from microalgae cultivated in closed photobioreactors with supplementary lighting
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The purpose of this study is to develop an initial computational model to evaluate the techno-economic viability of high-value and secondary resources from microalgae. The isolation of high-value metabolites is the driving ...
Marine microbial bioprospecting: Exploitation of marine biodiversity towards biotechnological applications—a review
(
John Wiley & Sons, Ltd
, 2022 , Article Review)
The increase in the human population causes an increase in the demand for nutritional supplies and energy resources. Thus, the novel, natural, and renewable resources became of great interest. Here comes the optimistic ...
Towards fossil free cities – Emission assessment of food and resources consumption with the FEWprint carbon accounting platform
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Current urbanization rates concentrate the ever growing demand for food, energy and water (FEW) resources particularly in cities, making them one of the main drivers of greenhouse gas emissions. The FEW nexus integrative ...
A comparison of bio-crude oil production from five marine microalgae – Using life cycle analysis
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
Marine microalgae biomass could offer a viable feedstock for sustainably producing biofuel by hydrothermal liquefaction. In this study, five promising marine microalgae (i.e., Tetraselmis, Picochlorum, Synechococcus, ...
Solar cultivation of microalgae in a desert environment for the development of techno-functional feed ingredients for aquaculture in Qatar
(
Elsevier
, 2022 , Article)
The demand for aquaculture feed will increase in the coming years in order to ensure food security for a growing global population. Microalgae represent a potential fish-feed ingredient; however, the feasibility of their ...
Exploring the Biochemical Methane Potential of Wholesale Market Waste from Jordan and Tunisia for a Future Scale‑Up of Anaerobic Digestion in Amman and Sfax
(
Springer
, 2022 , Article)
Local open markets, trading fruits and vegetables, are widespread in Mediterranean countries, such as Tunisia and Jordan, producing large amounts of organic waste. Applying an anaerobic digestion process on this substrate ...
Optimizing the Extraction Conditions of Hydroxytyrosol from Olive Leaves Using a Modified Spherical Activated Carbon: A New Experimental Design
(
Hindawi
, 2022 , Article)
The purification of hydroxytyrosol from olive leaves extract by modified activated carbon was studied experimentally in a batch system and a column by adsorption and desorption processes. The extraction yield reached 90% ...
