To explore the changes in flavor compounds during the hydrolysis of sulfited sugarcane syrup (SS) by sucrase. This study characterized non-volatile organic compounds (NVOCs) via nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were characterized using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS). About 14 NVOCs were identified, with 7 NVOCs, including sucrose, fructose, alpha-glucose, and beta-glucose, showing significant dynamic changes. About 80 VOCs were identified by GC-MS. Pyrazines were the predominant compound in the SS, whereas pyrazines and acids became the major components in the hydrolyzed SS. Enzymatic hydrolysis significantly increased the overall VOCs content, particularly acids and aldehydes, while reducing unpleasant S-containing compounds. Orthogonal partial least squares-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) revealed that 30 differential VOCs (Variable Importance in Projection, VIP > 1) served as markers for distinguishing among the five syrup samples. Furthermore, three key differential aroma compounds (2,5-dimethylpyrazine, dimethyl sulfide, and beta-damascenone) were identified by VIP and Odor Activity Value (OAV). Additionally, we detected 56 VOCs by GC-IMS. The fingerprint profiles and OPLS-DA confirmed significant differences in VOCs during enzymatic hydrolysis. Overall, these findings offer new insights into the flavor chemistry of SS during enzymatic hydrolysis and a theoretical basis for optimizing flavored syrup processing.
The pigments in molasses wastewater are a primary factor limiting its biodegradation, and adsorption serves as an effective decolorization approach. The present study prepared an MXene and polyethyleneimine co-modified chitosan aerogel (MPCA) for the removal of three typical pigments, caramel, chlorogenic acid (CGA), and ferulic acid (FA), from molasses wastewater. Through unit and multi-component adsorption experiments, the adsorption behavior of MPCA toward these three pigments was systematically investigated. Under the optimal conditions (MPCA dosage of 0.5 mg/mL, temperature of 40 degrees C, and pH 7), the equilibrium adsorption capacities of MPCA for caramel, CGA, and FA reached 112, 375, and 149 mg/g, respectively. Modeling of the adsorption data indicates that while the adsorption of caramel and CGA onto MPCA follows monolayer chemisorption, the adsorption of FA onto MPCA conforms to multilayer chemisorption. Specifically, the adsorption of caramel is an endothermic process, whereas that of CGA and FA is exothermic. Competitive adsorption occurs among the pigments in multicomponent systems. By combining macroscopic analyses (adsorption kinetics, isotherms, thermodynamics, FTIR, XPS) with microscopic quantum chemical calculations (ESP, ALIE, Mulliken charge), this work identifies the key forces in MPCA dye adsorption: electrostatic interactions, hydrogen bonding, and cation-It interactions. The initial adsorption kinetic rates, molecular steric hindrance, and active site characteristics are the key factors dictating the outcome of competitive adsorption.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy and gas chromatography-ion mobility spectrometry (GC-IMS) were employed to comprehensively characterize both non-volatile and volatile components present in membrane-filtrated sugarcane syrup (MS). A total of 19 non-volatile compounds and 65 volatile compounds were successfully identified within the MS sample. Among the volatile compounds, 12 were determined to be key aroma contributors based on their Relative Odor Activity Values (ROAV). Our investigation elucidated that hydrolysis and Maillard reactions serve as the primary pathways during acid hydrolysis, with reaction kinetics strengthened by increasing heating temperature and citric acid concentration, thereby enhancing the caramel and roasted aromas of MS. These findings not only contribute to a deeper understanding of the composition of sugarcane syrup but also offer valuable insights into flavor characterization and quality control within the sugarcane industry. Furthermore, this research lays a foundation for future studies aimed at optimizing processing techniques to enhance syrup flavor and overall product quality.
Melanoidins are widely present in molasses wastewater and are dark-colored macromolecules that are hazardous to the environment. Currently, adsorption methods can effectively remove melanoidins from wastewater. However, existing adsorbents have shown unsatisfactory removal efficiency for melanoidins, making practical application challenging. Polyethylene glycol crosslinked modified chitosan/halloysite nanotube composite aerogel microspheres (PCAM@HNTs) were developed as a highly efficient adsorbent for melanoidins. The removal rate of PCAM@HNTs for melanoidins was 98.53 % at adsorbent dosage 0.4 mg/ml, pH 7, temperature 303 K and 450 mg/L initial melanoidins concentration, and the corresponding equilibrium adsorption capacity was 1108.49 mg/g. The analysis results indicate that the adsorption of melanoidins by PCAM@HNTs is a spontaneous and endothermic process. It fits well with pseudo-second-order kinetic models and the Freundlich isotherm equation. The adsorption of PCAM@HNT on melanoidins is primarily attributed to electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions. Furthermore, PCAM@HNTs exhibit excellent biocompatibility and are nonhazardous. Therefore, PCAM@HNTs proved to be an ideal adsorbent for the decolorization of molasses wastewater.
The pigments in sugarcane result the crystallised sucrose appears unsatisfactorily yellow. In this study, cationic tapioca starch (CTS)-functionalized magnetic nanoparticles (CTS@Fe3O4) were synthesized and used as adsorbents for the removal of undesirable pigments. The adsorption properties of CTS@Fe3O4 were investigated by a sugarcane juice colorant model consisting of caffeic acid (CA), gallic acid (GA) and melanoidin (ME). The equilibrium adsorption capacities of CTS@Fe3O4 for CA, GA, and ME were 185, 160 and 580 mg g-1 at the optimal conditions (60, 60 and 180 mg L-1 initial concentrations, respectively; 0.3 mg mL-1 CTS@Fe3O4 dosage, 313 K temperature, and pH value of 7). The adsorption process was described well by second-order kinetic and Langmuir isotherm models with a high fitting correlation coefficient approaching 1, suggesting that the pigments formed a surface monolayer with a homogenously distributed adsorption energy and was mainly dominated by chemisorption. The thermodynamic parameters (Gibbs free energy <0, enthalpy >0, and entropy >0) revealed that the adsorption process was endothermic and spontaneous. For the binary system, the competitive adsorption between pigments was primarily antagonistic. The speed of adsorption was the main factor affecting competitive adsorption, and the additional adsorption force reduced the effects of coexisting adsorbates.

Natural amphiphilic polymer micelles have garnered considerable research attention as nanocarriers for delivering drugs. The objective of this study was to explore the possibility of applying biocompatible dual-modified starch micelles as drug delivery vehicles. To this end, a dual-modified corn starch polymer (SCD) was synthesized with zwitterionic sulfobetaine and deoxycholic acid; spherical micelles with an average particle size of ~200 nm were prepared through the self-assembly of SCD. The effects of dual modification on the degree of substitution, molecular structure, and functional properties of SCD were investigated. Further, doxorubicin was successfully incorporated into the micelles, and an in vitro drug release study was performed to confirm that the drug-loaded micelles displayed pH-sensitive properties with controlled and sustained release. The dissolve-diffuse-erosion-degradation release process was described according to the dynamic models of drug release for SCD micelles. The results can be used as reference information for further studies in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical domains.
Considerable concern exists regarding water contamination by various pollutants, such as conventional pollutants (e.g., heavy metals and organics) and emerging micropollutants (e.g., consumer care products and interfering endocrine-related compounds). Currently, academics are continuously exploring sustainability-related materials and technologies to remove contaminants from wastewater. Magnetic starch-based adsorbents (MSAs) can combine the advantages of starch and magnetic nanoparticles, which exhibit unique critical features such as availability, cost-effectiveness, size, shape, crystallinity, magnetic properties, stability, adsorption properties, and excellent surface properties. However, limited reviews on MSAs' preparations, characterizations, applications, and adsorption mechanisms could be available nowadays. Hence, this review not only focuses on their activation and preparation methods, including physical (e.g., mechanical activation treatment, microwave radiation treatment, sonication, and extrusion), chemical (e.g., grafting, cross-linking, oxidation and esterification), and enzymatic modifications to enhance their adsorption properties, but also offers an all-round state-of-the-art analysis of the full range of its characterization methods, the adsorption of various contaminants, and the underlying adsorption mechanisms. Eventually, this review focuses on the recycling and reclamation performance and highlights the main gaps in the areas where further studies are warranted. We hope that this review will spark an interdisciplinary discussion and bring about a revolution in the applications of MSAs.

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), magnesium sulfate hexahydrate, and trisodium citrate were reacted in ammonia bath in an aqueous solution to prepare a MCC-magnesium hydroxide (MH) composite adsorbent, which was used to adsorb heavy metal Co(II) ion. The method of using MCC-MH to adsorb and remove Co(II) was studied under different pH values, adsorbent dosages, contact times, initial Co(II) ion concentrations, and temperatures. The optimal process parameters include an MCC-MH dosage of 2.5 mg/mL, a contact reaction equilibrium time of 50 min, a Co(II) solution pH of 6.0-8.0, an initial Co(II) concentration of 300 mg/L, and a temperature of 303 K. The removal rate of Co(II) solution by MCC-MH was as high as 97.67%, and the maximum adsorption capacity of MCC-MH reached 153.84 mg/g under these optimal conditions. The adsorption isotherm of Co(II) conformed to the Langmuir model, the kinetic data of Co(II) conformed to the pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and the adsorption of Co(II) by MCC-MH was a spontaneous endothermic reaction under the optimized conditions. Analytical studies showed that Co(II) adsorption on MCC-MH composites is affected by chemical adsorption and involves the influence of intraparticle diffusion to a certain extent.
Novel starch polymers (sulfobetaine-starch-deoxycholic acid) were first synthesized by grafting zwitterionic sulfobetaine and deoxycholic acid onto corn starch molecules. In order to explore the mechanism of modified starch, the chemical structure, morphological properties, thermal stability, and self-assembly performance of modified corn starch were determined. Preliminary structural characterization, using NMR, demonstrated that the glucose carbon C6 was the main etherification grafting site and C2 and C3 were the esterification grafting sites. This was confirmed using FT-IR to detect the presence of a new carbonyl signal around 1739 cm−1. XRD, SEM, and PLM micrographs showed structural losses in the starch granule. Thermogravimetric analysis showed an increase in thermal stability with etherification and esterification in nature. Self-assembly performance analysis demonstrated that the polymer formed more thermodynamically stable micelles under highly diluted conditions. This work will help expand the space for starch application.
Sugarcane bagasse (SCB) and calcium oxide with ammonium hydrogen carbonate were reacted in an aqueous solution to obtain an SCB-calcium carbonate (SCB-CaCO3) composite adsorbent, which was used to remove crystal violet (CV) from wastewater. The resulting adsorbent was characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and surface-area and pore-size analyses. The removal of CV dye by using the SCB-CaCO3 composite adsorbent was investigated at different pH levels, adsorbent dosages, contact times, initial dye concentrations, and temperatures. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of SCB-CaCO3 for CV at 3.33 mg/mL SCB-CaCO3 dosage, temperature of 313 K, pH 9.0, and initial dye concentration 1000 mg/L was 293.02 mg/g, and the corresponding removal rate reached 97.67%. The adsorption isotherms, kinetics, and thermodynamic parameters were evaluated in detail. Results showed that the adsorption isotherms of CV dye were consistent with the Langmuir model, so the adsorption was a monolayer process. The adsorption mechanism of CV can be described by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model, indicating that dye adsorption onto SCB-CaCO3 was primarily affected by strong chemisorption through electrostatic interactions. Further thermodynamic studies revealed that the CV adsorption onto SCB-CaCO3 was a spontaneous and endothermic reaction. We also demonstrated that the adsorption of dye by SCB-CaCO3 involved intraparticle diffusion and hydrogen-bonding interactions to some extent. Overall, SCB-CaCO3 was found to be an efficient, low-cost, green, and recyclable organic dye-removal material.
