Biobased alginate/cellulose composite hydrogel as a seed microenvironment chamber for water retention and controlled nutrient delivery.

Seed germination and early seedling establishment are often constrained by insufficient water availability and inefficient nutrient utilization, particularly under water-limited conditions. To address this, a biobased SA/C-Gel composite hydrogel loaded with fertilizer was developed as a seed microenvironment chamber, i...

Design of a pH-switchable supramolecular deep eutectic solvent for the extraction of flavonoids from citrus peel waste and Rutaceae herbs.

The rising demand for natural ingredients across the food, cosmetics, healthcare industries has driven the broader utilization of agricultural and food industry waste as valuable sources of bioactive compounds. A pH-switchable supramolecular deep eutectic solvent (SS-DES) based on geraniol and octanoic acid was first p...
