“…For instance, the adjective 'healthy' in 'healthy environment' can be understood as 'the absence of substantial human interference or pollution that would compromise ecological integrity as it is understood or would threaten irreversible environmental harm'. 117 Nothing necessarily prevents the contours of this right from being incrementally developed by treaty bodies and international tribunals.…”

The health of the planet and its life forms are under threat from anthropogenic climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, and the extreme weather events, heatwaves and wildfires that accompany them. The burgeoning field of planetary health studies the interplay between humanity and the Earth's biosphere and ecosystems on which human health depends. Scholarship on law from a planetary health vantage point remains scarce. This article fills this gap by delineating the conceptual building blocks of a planetary health law, which, in its latent form, is dispersed across various hard and soft sources of international environmental law and global health law that converge on the right to a healthy environment, and, to a lesser extent, rights of nature emerging in various domestic jurisdictions. It elucidates how the fragmented regimes of international environmental and global health law could be developed in more coherent ways, driven by an overarching concern for the integrity of the planetary foundations of life.

“…Bioethanol is usually obtained from the conversion of carbon-based feedstock. Bioethanol from biomass sources is the principal fuel used as a petrol substitute for road transport vehicles 1 . Bioethanol is mainly produced by the sugar fermentation process although it can also be manufactured by the chemical process of reacting ethylene with steam.…”

The effect of hydrolysis reaction time on the reducing sugar yield of Acha (Digitaria exilis) and Finger millet (Eleusine coracana) starch for bioethanol production was studied. The starches were extracted from the feedstocks by wet and dry milling methods. They were gelatinized at slurry concentrations of 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 mL/g for Acha and slurry concentrations of 2.5, 3.0, 3.5 and 4.0 mL/g for finger millet. They were then hydrolyzed using malted barley as enzyme at enzyme concentrations of 0.1g/g to 0.3g/g at durations ranging from 1½-3½ h. The results showed that for the two starches studied, none achieved highest reducing sugar yield at 1½-2½ h. The optimum fell largely between 3 to 3½ h. Overall results indicate that reducing sugar quantity is largely dependent on slurry concentration (mL/g) of starch, hydrolysis reaction time and even temperature.
