    Abstract Technological advancements in organic chemistry cannot be imagined without solvents, an essential evil due to well-recognized safety, health, and environmental risks and yet an integral part of the value chain for almost all industrially manufactured products intended for human use. A solvent serves as an essential liquid medium for different molecules to interact and react, generating products totally different from the original reactants. Reminiscences reveal water to be the first solvent used in the art of organic chemistry. This Viewpoint attempts to capture anecdotal theories and evidence on the use of this "magic liquid" and the progressive adoption of alternative liquid solvents, which have played a pivotal role in the evolution of synthetic organic chemistry. Synthetic organic chemistry, in turn, has sought to compete with nature in mimicking complex natural product syntheses in the laboratory on miniscule time scales compared with millions of years of evolutionary processes.

    Abstract α-Amylases are essential biocatalysts representing a billion-dollar market with significant long-term global demand. They have varied applications ranging from detergent, textile, and food sectors such as bakery to, more recently, biofuel industries. Microbial α-amylases have distinct advantages over their plant and animal counterparts owing to generally good activities and better stability at temperature and pH extremes. With the scope of applications expanding, the need for new and improved α-amylases is ever-growing. However, scaling up microbial α-amylase technology from the laboratory to industry for practical applications is impeded by several issues, ranging from mass transfer limitations, low enzyme yields, and energy-intensive product recovery that adds to high production costs. This review highlights the major challenges and prospects for the production of microbial α-amylases, considering the various avenues of industrial bioprocessing such as culture-independent approaches, nutrient optimization, bioreactor operations with design improvements, and product down-streaming approaches towards developing efficient α-amylases with high activity and recyclability. Since the sequence and structure of the enzyme play a crucial role in modulating its functional properties, we have also tried to analyze the structural composition of microbial α-amylase as a guide to its thermodynamic properties to identify the areas that can be targeted for enhancing the catalytic activity and thermostability of the enzyme through varied immobilization or selective enzyme engineering approaches. Also, the utilization of inexpensive and renewable substrates for enzyme production to isolate α-amylases with non-conventional applications has been briefly discussed.

    Abstract The rise in fisheries production worldwide has caused a remarkable increase in associated anthropogenic waste. This poses significant concerns due to adverse environmental impacts and economic losses. Owing to its renewability, high abundance, and potential as a rich source of many nutrients and bioactive compounds, strategies have been developed to convert fish waste into different value-added products. Conventional and improved methods have been used for the extraction of biomolecules from fish waste. The extracted fish waste-derived value-added products such as enzymes, peptides, fish oil, etc. have been used to fortify different food products. This review aims to provide an overview of the nature and composition of fish waste, strategies for extracting biomolecules from fish waste, and the potential application of fish waste as a source of calcium and other nutrients in food fortification and animal feed has been discussed. In context to fishery waste mitigation, valorization, and circular bioeconomy approach are gaining momentum, aiming to eliminate waste while producing high-quality value-added food and feed products from fishery discards.

    Abstract Gas–liquid (G-L) reaction kinetics studies need ideally to be carried out (a) in the total recirculation regime, signifying maximum mass transfer rates (KLS) and (b) in contactors, which geometrically support higher KLS. G-L mixing enhancement by agitation and gas sparging is generally practiced to enhance KLS. The agitated and sparged tank contactor (ASTC) consisting of baffles, stirrers, and spargers is the preferred mode of contacting. It is essential to understand how the impeller–sparger geometry affects KLS in a standard ASTC while operating in the total recirculation regime. A film theory-based approach shows that KLS may be approximated by the gas holdup (εg) in the total recirculation regime. Combinations of standard radial and axial impellers with ring spargers of different sizes are used in an ASTC of 0.25 m diameter containing 1 × 10–² m³ water. The oxygen flow rate (Qg) is varied from (6.26 to 25.02 × 10–⁵) m³ s–¹, and agitation intensity (N₀) is varied from (1.67 to 16.67) rps at the temperature (θ) = 313 K under atmospheric pressure to understand the effects of geometry on εg while operating in the total recirculation regime. Results of our investigations show how an ASTC with an impeller of high-power number (NP) and a ring sparger of near impeller diameter (D) form an ideal combination and will result in maximum εg (indirectly optimum KLS), making it suitable for kinetics studies.

    Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) are hazardous environmental pollutants with widespread and well-recognized health concerns. Amidst more than a hundred known PAHs, 16 are categorized as priority pollutants. Use of widely diverse biological machinery comprising bacteria, fungi, and algae harnessed from contaminated sites has emerged as an ecologically safe and sustainable approach for PAH degradation. The potential of these biological systems has been thoroughly examined to maximize the degradation of specific PAHs by understanding their detailed biochemical pathways, enzymatic system, and gene organization. Recent advancements in microbial genetic engineering and metabolomics using modern analytical tools have facilitated the bioremediation of such xenobiotics. This review explores the role of microbes, their biochemical pathways, genetic regulation of metabolic pathways, and the effect of biosurfactants against the backdrop of PAH substrate structures.

    Abstract The supply-side abundance of inexpensive propane and ethane from shale gas and stranded gas are drivers for technologies for the on-demand production of light olefins, propylene and ethylene. However, existing catalysts exhibit relatively poor stability and deactivate rapidly at the high temperature required for dehydrogenation. This indicates an opportunity for new catalyst systems which can activate propane at a relatively lower temperature. Small pore zeolites, ZK-5 with improved acidity, notably monodispersed zirconia ZK-5 catalyst, are explored for low-temperature dehydrogenation of propane to propylene. Zeolite supports help to stabilise the metal particles and improve metal-support synergy. This paper demonstrates a Pt-free metal impregnated zeolite catalyst for propane dehydrogenation while maintaining good stability and activity. The Zr/ZK-5 catalyst exhibits 40.3% conversion with 45.2% propylene selectivity at 500 °C for 24 h. The combination of Zr and ZK-5 effectively activates the CH bond, inhibits side reactions, reduces coke formation, and improves selectivity as well as stability.

    Abstract Xylitol, a commodity chemical, is widely used in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical formulations. Microbial xylitol production is a promising alternative to mitigate current industrial practice issues and offers an environment-friendly sustainable conversion route. This study demonstrates a bioprocess for xylitol production from corncob using a mesophilic yeast Pichia caribbica. Corncob was hydrolyzed by dilute acid and steam explosion to recover fermentable xylose and used as the feed for xylitol production. Activated carbon treatment (3% w/v) completely removed the biomass-derived inhibitors furfural and hydroxymethyl furfural from the liquid hydrolysate. The fermenting yeast Pichia caribbica produced 124.1 ± 0.45 g/L xylitol from the detoxified and concentrated corncob hydrolysate with a high yield of 0.80 ± 0.02 g/g. The crystallized xylitol with 96.5% purity demonstrated no harmful effects on the cell line used as a control for the in-vitro toxicity studies. This proof of concept can be applied to help scale up for bio-refinery-based large-scale production of xylitol from corncob biomass.
