India has played a significant role in advancing sustainable energy sources and is actively engaged in enhancing energy efficiency through ambitious programs. However, the rapid economic growth and population expansion have led to a substantial increase in solid waste generation in the country. According to the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy,...

Recently, a continuous rising awareness among human community to an environmental issue had changed the frame of current scenario and shifted a whole attention of research community towards the sustainable energy options & selecting the greener-solvents technology like Ionic-Liquids (ILs). An ionic-liquid technology known to augment the biorefineri...

Background The safety and quality of food has been a matter of great discussion throughout the centuries and the application of nanotechnology in the field of nutraceuticals i.e. nanoceuticals has improved the variety and protection of food products in many ways. Objective Improving the quality and safety of the food products with a view to improv...

Bioethanol is a reasonable alternative option, its generation from readily available in an enormous amount and eco-friendly bio-resources, i.e., agricultural residues, one of the most suitable and renewable alternative options in place of fossils fuels resources, which being to deplete in an upcoming day. According to the recent statistical analysi...

Biowaste as a pollutant is a major threat to the environment and available renewable resources such as air, water, soil and harm the natural scenery of our environment. This biowaste developing country like India. The reported data of increment of waste was 62MT in 2006 to 436 MT by 2050. This problem of increment is controlled by recycling and tra...

Biofuels derived from lignocellulose biomass are alternative options replacing fossil fuels in near future. Lignocellulose biomass consists of lignin, cellulose and hemicelluloses. These three elements form a complex network in lignocellulose biomass which is difficult to break by following traditional methods because of lignin. Pretreatment techno...

Modified organic solvent fractionation process involves the degradation of lignin, which is the main barrier of lignocelluloses biomass and the other two elements are cellulose and hemicelluloses. The treatment of organic solvent is given at a different concentration ratio, i.e. varies according to 10 ml mixture of ethyl alcohol and water, acetone...

Apoptosis or programmed cell death is a regulatory process in a multicellular organism that involves aspartate specific cysteine rich protease called caspase are members of the interleukin-1β-converting enzyme family. Apoptosis is induced via two main routes involving either the mitochondria (the intrinsic pathway) or the activation of death recept...
