Tridecanoic acid (C13) is a rare, odd-chain saturated fatty acid produced mainly by gut and rumen microbes, entering ...

Bacteria are ubiquitous microscopic organisms capable of rapid growth. While beneficial strains like lactic acid bacteria ...

The innovative biodegradable metafilm from PLA enhances passive radiative cooling, addressing energy efficiency and ...

How do we determine how healthy our food is? We know now that our nutrition shouldn't just be measured in calories, or even ...

A simple approach using polarized Raman spectroscopy has been employed to study the molecular orientation distribution in both the crystalline and amorphous regions of uniaxially oriented poly (l ...

Lactic acid (LA), a key platform chemical from biomass, is an ideal feedstock for biodegradable plastic synthesis. The conversion of glycerol to LA was investigated over ...

Amid concerns over rising petroleum prices and resource depletion, organic compounds such as methanol are attracting attention as potential replacements. Though this bodes well in theory, the ...

Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have successfully increased the production of D-lactic acid from methanol by exposing Komagataella phaffii yeast to ultraviolet irradiation.

Abstract Bacteriocin, a peptide produced by lactic acid bacteria (LAB) widely used as a natural and safe preservative in food products. This work aimed to evaluate the characterization of bacteriocin ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain's wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published ...
