Abstract: Atopic dermatitis, a chronic inflammatory skin disease, is characterized by severe itching of the skin and long-lasting eczematous lesions, which are thought to be a response to local allergens including house dust mites (HDM). Through previous studies, we confirmed that ALOVEtamer, a modified form of ALtamer (DNA fragment) composed of Aloe aptamers from Aloe vera and Aloe ferox varieties, specifically binds to derivative of viniferin extracts (VED) and increases stability and antioxidant effects. In addition, ALtamer has been shown to have an anti-inflammatory effect on skin inflammation through HDM mouse experiments, and it is being developed as an oral Nutrient Delivery......

Abstract: Introduction: The growing demand for renewable energy has led to increased interest in bioethanol production from non-food biomass. Sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas) peels, an agro-industrial waste, present a viable feedstock for bioethanol production using Saccharomyces cerevisiae. This study aimed to optimize fermentation conditions, specifically pH, temperature, fermentation time, and yeast-substrate ratio, to maximize bioethanol yield.......

Abstract: Introduction: Acid hydrolysis remains one of the most effective methods for converting starchy and lignocellulosis feedstocks into fermentable sugars as compared to physical and thermal methods. This study determines the effect of HCl concentration on reducing sugars and pH after hydrolysis, after fermentation and the amount of reducing sugar consumed. Methodology: Sweet potato peels (Ipomoea batatas) were collected, washed, dried for 10 days, and mechanically crushed to reduce particle size. Twenty grams of the sample was hydrolyzed using hydrochloric acid at concentrations of 0.2......

Abstract: A photo-induced fluorescence (PIF) method was developed for the determination of the pyrethrinoid deltamethrin pesticide. The photo-conversion under UV irradiation of the pesticide deltamethrin into strongly fluorescent photoproduct was performed in several media. The time of UV-irradiation and the binary mixture solvents (methanol: water, v/v) of PIF parameters were optimized. Analytical figure of merit for the PIF determination of deltamethrin was satisfactory, with rather wide linear dynamic range (LDR) values of one to two orders of magnitude, low......

Abstract: Thiosulfate leaching has gained attention as a safer and more environmentally friendly alternative to the conventional cyanidation method for gold extraction. Despite its advantages, the efficient recovery of gold in its monovalent state (Au(I)) from thiosulfate solutions remains a significant challenge. In this study, a novel aqueous two-phase system (ATPS) was developed using eco-friendly guanidinium-based ionic liquids (GILs) combined with inorganic salts to extract gold from mildly alkaline thiosulfate solutions. Key parameters affecting extraction efficiency—such as salt type and concentration, GIL content, extraction time, pH, and initial gold concentration......
