This disclosure describes processes for using a single cellulosic feedstock or a combination of two or more different cellulosic feedstocks with a starch component to produce a fermented product. The process includes separating the components of the cellulosic feedstocks with fractionation, pretreating a component with wet fractionation with chemicals, hydrolysis and fermentation of the pretreated feedstock(s) to produce cellulosic biofuel. The process may include combining the cellulosic feedstock(s) with other components to a cook and/or a fermentation process, distilling and dehydrating the combined components to produce the bio fuel. The process may also include producing a whole stillage stream from the feedstock(s) and mechanically processing the whole stillage stream to produce a high-value protein animal feed.

The present disclosure provides an aggregation-induced emission polymer, a preparation method and application thereof. The aggregation-induced emission polymer provided in the present disclosure has a structure represented by formula I. The aggregation-induced emission polymer provided by the present disclosure has excellent fluorescence stability and biocompatibility; Because there are many benzene rings in the aggregation-induced emission polymer, the fat-solubility of the aggregation-induced emission polymer is increased, thereby changing the problem that cellulose is insoluble and difficult to be processed and modified. In the present disclosure, the aggregation-induced emission small molecule monomer is placed in a basal medium, and the bacterial seed solution is inoculated and then cultured to obtain the aggregation-induced emission polymer. The preparation method provided by the present disclosure has the characteristics of safety, environmental protection and simplicity, solves the shortcomings of complex and cumbersome synthesis process, and is beneficial to the large-scale production of AIE polymers.

A vegetable product obtained from vegetable matter selected from at least one of root, tubers and leaves of a plant having inulin as a reserve carbohydrate, wherein the product includes particles having particle sizes in the range of 0.5 to 10 mm and including inulin and cell walls having pectin, hemi-cellulose and cellulose, wherein the inulin is contained within the cell walls, and the product is obtained by a process including the steps of: a) wounding the vegetable matter, b) treating the vegetable matter with an aqueous solution having an antioxidant and/or a textural support agent and heating the vegetable matter to a temperature of 40 to 90° C. and c) mechanically reducing the size of the vegetable matter and drying the vegetable matter to obtain the product.

The invention relates to a hydrogel product comprising glycosaminoglycan molecules as the swellable polymer, wherein the glycosaminoglycan molecules are covalently crosslinked via crosslinks comprising a spacer group selected from the group consisting of di-, tri-, tetra-, and oligosaccharides.

High-molecular-weight fucan compositions comprising a therapeutically effective, medically acceptable fucan in a composition comprising wherein the fucan, for example, has a molecular weight distribution in which more than 60% w/w of the composition has a molecular weight above 100 kDa.

Present invention relates to a process to reduce butane sultone hydrolysis products (4-hydroxybutane-1-sulfonic acid, and bis(4-sulfobutyl) ether disodium) in sulfobutylether cyclodextrin reaction mixtures achieved with the combined use of a strong anion exchange resin having dialkyl 2-hydroxyethyl ammonium hydroxide functionality and a cation exchange resin.

Provided is a low-molecular-weight holothurian glycosarninoglycan, with the constituent units thereof being a glucuronic acid group, an N-acetaminogalactose group and a fucose group, and a sulfate ester group or acetyl ester group thereof. Glucuronic acid and N-acetaminogalactose are interconnected via β(1-3) and β(1-4) glucosidic bonds to form a backbone of a disaccharide repeating structural unit, and a fucose group is connected to the backbone as a side chain. On a molar ratio basis, the ratio of the glucuronic acid group:the N-acetaminogalactose group:the fucose group is 1:(0.8-1.2):(0.6-1.2). In the structure of the low-molecular-weight holothurian glycosaminoglycan, 10-30% of glucuronic acid groups are modified, on the 2-position, with a sulfate ester group, and the rest are hydroxyl groups; and a proportion of 10-30% of fucose groups is modified, on the 2-position, with an acetyl ester group, and the rest are hydroxyl or sulfate ester groups. The low-molecular-weight holothurian glycosarninoglycan of the present invention has anti-inflammation, anti-vasculopathy, anti-tumor or anti-tumor-metastasis functions, and the effect of improving learning and memory abilities, and can be used for preparing a related drug or health-care product.

Compositions, methods, systems, etc., are provided for modified and/or purified fucans and corresponding fucan-containing compositions that inhibit fibrous adhesions among other advantages. The purified/modified fucans and fucan compositions have a reduced level of non-fucan components or impurities such as those found in a starting fucan composition. Such reduced undesirable components or impurities include, for example, undesired components bound to the fucan and compounds in the composition that are not a part of or bound to the fucan.

A rapid testing mechanism for respiratory viral pathogens includes a filter material positioned to capture exhaled breath particles from a respiratory tract. A portion of the filter material is impregnated with a pathogen binding adsorptive reagent. When the exhaled breath particles pass through the filter material the following occurs: when the binding adsorptive reagent reacts, a positive test for respiratory viral pathogens is indicated by the filter material; and when pathogen binding adsorptive reagent does not react, a negative test for respiratory viral pathogens is indicated by the filter material.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing monomers via depolymerisation from lignocellulose-containing biomass.
