Starch production globally surpasses 50 million tons annually, predominantly sourced from maize, rice, and potatoes. Here, we review plant starch with an emphasis on structure and properties, extraction, modification, and green applications. Modification techniques comprise physical, enzymatic, and genetic methods. Applications include stabilization of food, replacement of meat, three-dimensional food printing, prebiotics, encapsulation, bioplastics, edible films, textiles, and wood adhesives. Starch from maize, potatoes, and cassava shows amylose content ranging from 20 to 30% in regular varieties to 70% in high-amylose varieties. Extraction by traditional wet milling achieves starch purity up to 99.5%, while enzymatic methods maintain higher structural integrity, which is crucial for pharmaceutical applications. Enzymatic extraction improves starch yield by of up to 20%, reduces energy consumption by about 30%, and lowers wastewater production by up to 50%, compared to conventional methods. Sustainable starch modification can reduce the carbon footprint of starch production by up to 40%. Modified starches contribute to approximately 70% of the food texturizers market. The market of starch in plant-based meat alternatives has grown by over 30% in the past five years. Similarly, the use of biodegradable starch-based plastics by the bioplastic industry is growing over 20% annually, driven by the demand for sustainable packaging.Kindly check and confirm the layout of Table 1.Layout is right}, journal={Environmental Chemistry Letters}, author={Rashwan, Ahmed K. and Younis, Hala A. and Abdelshafy, Asem M. and Osman, Ahmed and Hafouda, Mahmoud A. and Chen, Wei}, year={2024}, month={Jun} }

In the present study, previously synthesized powder containing ZnO nanoflowers (ZnO NFs) was characterized for morphology, surface composition, roughness and charge using Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), Atomic force microscopy(AFM) and Zeta potential. Optical properties of crystalline ZnO were determined by Photoluminescence (PL), Diffused reflectance Spectroscopy (DRS) and bandgap energy determination. Highly crystalline, ZnO NFs bearing crystal defects and high surface charge were loaded onto the pristine cotton by dip coating method using Triton X-100 as dispersant and iSys MTX fabric binder. The pristine cotton fabric of 125g/m2 was nanofinished by loading 20,42 and 58 µg/cm2 (1-3 dip cycles) ZnO NFs respectively. The loading of ZnO NFs onto the surface of cotton fabric was confirmed by SEM and used for antibacterial activity against E. coli as a photocatalytic reactor.

These novel organic photosensitizers are comprised of an acridine electron donor (Ac) and a thiophene π-spacer (T), while the electron acceptor unit (A′) is either a substituted quinoxaline (Qs) or a benzo[2,5]diazole-1-heteroatom (Bx), and the anchoring group (A) is 2-cyanoacrylic acid (CA). The influence of electron acceptor (A′) moieties on the electronic, photophysical, thermodynamic and photovoltaic properties of the photosensitizers was analyzed using DFT and TD-DFT calculations. The MM3 force field and CONFLEX conformational search methods were employed to study all possible structural conformations of the photosensitizers. The goal was to identify the lowest energy conformer and gain a better understanding of how the structure conformation and torsional angles of (Ac-T-Qs-T-CA) and (Ac-T-Bx-T-CA) compared to the reference photosensitizer RK1 affect electron injection ability and overall performance of DSSCs. The thermodynamic analysis revealed that the photosensitizers (Ac-T-Q2,3-diOMe-T-CA) and (Ac-T-BtA-T-CA), which contain a 2,3-dimethoxyquinoxaline (Q2,3-diOMe) and a benzo[d][1,2,3]triazole (BtA) acceptor moieties, respectively, exhibit a noteworthy enhancement in their electron-injection free energy (ΔGinj) and a reduction in their recombination-free energy (ΔGrec) values, leading to an improvement in the overall photovoltaic properties of the solar cell when compared to the other photosensitizers. The photovoltaic characteristics of the photosensitizers showed that the photosensitizer (Ac-T-Q2,3-diOMe-T-CA) demonstrated the highest values of open-circuit photovoltage (Voc = 1.41 eV) and light harvesting efficiency (LHE = 0.80 eV) compared to the other (Ac-T-Qs-T-CA) photosensitizers. Similarly, (Ac-T-BtA-T-CA) photosensitizer demonstrated the highest Voc (1.08 eV) and LHE (0.75 eV) among (Ac-T-Bx-T-CA) photosensitizers. The photovoltaic performance of these new photosensitizers outperformed the reference RK1 photosensitizer, which only achieved a Voc of 1.2 eV and LHE of 0.61 eV.

Molecular docking simulations were employed to investigate the binding affinity of compounds (4a-j) towards two proteins, DHFR and HT-hTS. The results revealed that 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-2-ethoxy-6-phenyl-pyridine-3-carbonitrile (4a) compound exhibited the highest binding affinity score (ΔG = -8.06 Kcal/mol) upon docking into the active site of DHFR, while 2-(4-nitrophenyl)-6-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-ethoxy-pyridine-3-carbonitrile (4d) compound displayed the strongest binding affinity score (ΔG = -4.17 Kcal/mol) when docked to the active site of HT-hTS. These results were supported by the cytotoxic activity of selected compounds (4a, 4b, 4e, and 4 h) against human cancer cell lines (MCF7, HT29, and A2780) as well as normal human fetal lung fibroblast (MRC5) using MTT assay. The cytotoxicity analyses revealed that compound (4a) displayed cytotoxic activity against all cancer cell lines, particularly human colorectal carcinoma (HT29) with an IC50 value of 2.243±0.217 μM, which is lower than that of the reference drug (Doxorubicin) with an IC50 value of 3.964±0.360 μM.

The micrographs obtained by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy indicated the erosions occurring at the surface of nano-calcite after UV light irradiation, maintaining the crystallinity of the photocatalyst. The surface charge has been measured for as-fabricated and irradiated nano-calcite @ PF for the development of high negative zeta potential after UV light irradiation (−24.6 mV). The irradiated nano-calcite @ PF exhibited a significant change in its contact angle, and the wetting property was enhanced to a considerable extent on UV (55.32°) and visible light irradiation (79.00°) in comparison to as-fabricated nano-calcite @ PF (137.54°). The irradiated samples of nano-calcite @ PF delineated the redshift in harvesting of solar spectrum, as revealed by diffuse reflectance spectroscopy comparative spectra. Additionally, the band gap of untreated nano-calcite was found to be 3.5 eV, while UV- and visible light-irradiated PF showed a reduction in band gap up to 2.95 and 3.15 eV upon UV and visible light irradiation.
