1. INTRODUCTION Phthalocyanine metal complexes 1, 2 (MPc's) are structurally related to
porphyrin complexes (Figure 1), which are widely used by nature in the active sites of …

This critical review provides a survey illustrated by recent references of different strategies to
achieve a sustainable conversion of biomass to bioproducts. Because of the huge number of …

Biomass has emerged as a potential alternative feedstock to dwindling fossil fuel reserves.
Starting in the 1990s, extensive research has been directed towards the synthesis of useful …

Due to poor properties of biodegradable native starch (NS) film; in this work, dual-modified
starch films ie crosslinked-oxidized starch (C-OS) and oxidized-crosslinked starch (O-CS) …

Poor properties of native cassava starch film such as low mechanical properties and high
water uptake are the limitations of biodegradable starch films. Dual modification is an …

Oxidation is an excellent way to improve the properties of native starches. After oxidation,
products are easier to handle due to a lowered paste viscosity in water, an improved stability …

The aim of this study was to prepare oxidized guar gum with a simple dry method, basing on
guar gum, hydrogen peroxide and a small amount of solvent. To obtain a product with …

The mechanism of thermal radical generation has been studied in cereal starches
containing different amylose contents. Samples of four corn starches and one of wheat has …

An epoxy-modified oxidized starch-grafted styrene-acrylate (Eg-OS-P (BA-St)) emulsion was
synthesized via soap-free core-shell emulsion polymerization without adding any solvent …

BACKGROUND Succinic acid is an important intermediate compound with high commercial
significance in the chemical industry. It can be obtained from renewable resources such as …
