“…Petroleum hydrocarbons (PHs) are petroleum compounds made entirely of carbon and hydrogen; they consist of hydrocarbons with a broad range of molecular weights. PHs are divided into alkanes (or paraffins), cycloalkanes (or naphthalenes), alkenes (or olefins) and arenes (or aromatics) (Kuppusamy et al, 2020a). Although some hydrocarbon fractions can be degraded by microorganisms, large chain aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons can persist in the environment and cause environmental problems (Hasanuzzaman et al, 2007).…”

This study was designed to assess total petroleum hydrocarbon (THP) concentrations in the surface water and sediment sampled from Woji Creek and to assess potential ecological and human health risk due to petroleum hydrocarbons along the creek. Physicochemical parameters [pH, temperature (T), electrical conductivity (EC), dissolved oxygen (DO), total dissolved solids (TDS)] were in-situ measured from sediment and surface water; hydrological parameters (width, depth and volume) were used to calculate the flow rate (discharge) at different stations of the creek. Trend of TPH in the surface water samples along the creek were as follows: St4 (3.639 AE 1.121 mg/L) > St3 (2.449 AE 0.623 mg/L) > St1 (1.457 AE 0.244 mg/L) > St2 (1.069 AE 0.228 mg/L) > St5 (1.010 AE 0.120 mg/L) Trend of TPH concentration across the creek was as follows: St1 -8.758 AE 0.697 mg/kg > St3 -7.675 AE 0.541 mg/kg > St5 -5.515 AE 0.401 mg/kg > St4 -5.075 AE 0.363 mg/kg > St2 -3.162 AE 0.307 mg/kg. Diagnostic indices indicate that the hydrocarbon in the creek was from petrogenic source. Estimation of ecological risk indicated risk in the surface water but not in the sediment. However, human health risk assessment indicated no risk due to human ingestion of the sediment or surface water.

“…The Percentage content of terpenoids were 30.55, 16.77 and 16.24% for the Heros, sultan and Reandy, respectively Table (2). The most available terpenoid in all three experimented seeds was Phytan (Hexadecan2,6,10,14-tetramethyl), a long chain alkane with fuel like odor considered as natural compound source in the biofuel production (Kuppusamy et al, 2020).…”

The current work aims to study three seed cultivars of rapeseed (Brassica napus), as well as trying to provide a phytochemical insight of different rapeseed cultivars to be potentially cultivated as natural alternative hydrocarbon sources to petroleum hydrocarbons. The three seed cultivars, namely Heros, Sultan and Reandy were purchased from Britain, India and Sweden, respectively. After being cultivated, the seeds were collected, dried, and crushed. Oils from the crushed seeds were extracted with n-hexane as a solvent, and the attained oils were analyzed by GC-MS. The results showed that the tested oil seeds exhibited valuable phytochemical constituents, possessing increased percentages of long chain hydrocarbons. The 2,4-Decadinal (E,E)-(CAS) was the superior phytochemical compounds in Heros (18.73%) and sultan (29.35%) seed oils, However, it was the second prevalent compound in Reandy seed oils. Also, percentage of the hydrocarbons content of the reandy seed genotype was (39.91%) higher than that of the Sultan (17.78%) seed oils. The most prevalent fatty acids were shown to be 9-Octadecenoic acid all the three tested gen verities. Based on the obtained data, Good hydrocarb plant yields can be offered by Heros and reandy cultivars. Also as a seed oil, could be considered as efficient plant oil for the industrial utilization as nonedible oils or in the biodiesel production as a low emission renewable energy.

“…While being primarily derived from crude oil, total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) is a measure of the complex mixture of different hydrocarbon compounds (Figure 1). The TPH is also considered as one of the most common groups of persistent organic pollutants (Kuppusamy et al 2020;Patowary et al 2017). This contaminant group is made up of gasoline range organics (GRO) including small chain hydrocarbons (C6-C10) such as benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene (BTEX), diesel range organics (DRO) comprising long chain hydrocarbons (C10-C40), and compounds such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) (Kamath et al 2004a).…”

Highlights • Recalcitrant fractions of petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) cometabolized for remediation • Biostimulation provides propitious environment for degraders in the rhizosphere • Bioaugmentation can supplement the catabolic activities of rhizosphere communities • Effective rhizoremediation requires the modulation of plant-microbial associations • Rhizoremediation of TPH-contaminated sites is a risk-based phytomanagement strategy
