Preparation of microcrystalline cellulose from agricultural residues and their application as polylactic acid/microcrystalline cellulose composite films for the preservation of Lanzhou lily
Int J Biol Macromol. 2022 Dec 20;227:827-838. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2022.12.198. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMicrocrystalline celluloses were isolated from four agricultural residues, including sweet sorghum stalk, Jerusalem artichoke stalk, grains stillage, and Chinese herb residue, and characterized in terms of physicochemical and structural properties. The obtained microcrystalline celluloses were composited with polylactic acid as a packing film for the preservation of Lanzhou lily. All the agricultural residues-derived microcrystalline celluloses were in cellulose Iβ structure with high purity and good thermal st...

One-Pot Tandem Transformation of Inulin as Fructose-Rich Platform Towards 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural: Feedstock Advantages, Acid-Site Regulation and Solvent Effects
ChemSusChem. 2022 Dec 22. doi: 10.1002/cssc.202201936. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe valorization of non-grain biomass feedstocks to value-added chemicals, polymers and alternative fuels is a crucial route for the utilization of renewable resources. Inulin belongs to a type of fructans, which is a pivotal platform bridging upstream fructose-rich biomass feedstocks typically represented by Jerusalem artichoke and downstream platform molecules such as alcohols, aldehydes and acids. Fructose can be directly obtained from the inulin hydrolysis and further converted into various platform chemicals, which is a more environme...

Antiviral Activity against Respiratory Syncytial Virus of Polysaccharide from Jerusalem Artichoke ( < em > Helianthus tuberosus < /em > L.)
This study evaluated the anti-respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) activity of JAP in vivo and in vitro. To investigate its antiviral activity, an MTT assay, q-PCR, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), and lung histological observation were performed. The results showed that JAP showed anti-RSV activity in vitro with a half maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of approximately 29.15 μg/mL. In vivo results suggested that JAP could effectively inhibit RSV proliferation in the lungs and improve lung tissue lesions in RSV-infected mice. Additionally, JAP could also reduce the expression of TLR3 and TLR4 in the lungs, in...
