“…Bonifacino et al [40] conducted research on obtaining bioethanol using wood from Eucalyptus and after pre-hydrolysis, simultaneous saccharification, and the fermentation process, they obtained ethanol yield at a level equal to 2.5 m 3 •ha −1 . In turn, in the research conducted on obtaining bioethanol from the biomass of invasive plants (Reynoutria × bohemica), the highest yield of ethanol was 2.6 m 3 •ha −1 [41].…”

Currently, fossil fuels are used to produce fuels and electricity, which are finite sources and have a negative impact on the natural environment. An excellent alternative to these fuels is biofuels, such as bioethanol from waste forest biomass. Pine needles are one of the most important available forest biomass materials with s significant impact on local understory vegetation. Forest waste biomass, which is a rich source of lignocellulose, can be used in various ways, such as for the eco-economical production of bioethanol. The aim of this study was to analyze the possibilities of bioethanol production from pine needle biomass obtained from forest land following different soil preparations and logging residue management. The pine needle dry matter yield, chemical components of pine needle biomass (cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin), and the amount of ethanol yield per hectare were evaluated. The highest average yield pine needle equal to 6.17 Mg∙ha−1 was observed. Bioethanol yield per hectare from this biomass was the highest for plowing with the LPZ-75 plow and was 1.08 m3∙ha−1. The discussed results were confirmed by detailed statistical analysis. To sum up, the researched pine needle biomass turned out to be an interesting raw material with the potential for bioethanol production.

“…One such source is utilizing plant cell walls consisting of diverse complex polysaccharides such as hemicellulose, cellulose and pectin as lignocellulosic biomass for energy production. As a result, several crops are investigated for production of bioenergy which include switchgrass (Lemus et al 2014;Schmer et al 2008), sudangrass (Acevedo et al 2019), eucalyptus (Bonifacino et al 2021), miscanthus (da Costa et al 2017), poplar and willow (Clifton-Brown et al 2019.…”

Glycans have a critical role in health and disease. As a direct result, there is keen interest to identify and increase glycan data in bioinformatics databases like ChEBI and PubChem, and in connecting them to biomedical resources at the EMBL-EBI and NCBI. GlyTouCan is a comprehensive archival database that contains over 118,000 glycans, obtained primarily through batch upload from glycan repositories, submissions from glycoprotein databases, and individual laboratories. In many instances, the glycan structures deposited in GlyTouCan may not be fully defined or have supporting experimental evidence or biological source content. Databases like ChEBI and PubChem were designed to accommodate complete atomistic structures with well-defined chemical linkages. As a result, they cannot easily accommodate the structural ambiguity inherent in many glycan database representations. Consequently, there is a need to organize glycan data coherently to improve the connectivity across the major NCBI, EMBL-EBI, and glycoscience databases. This paper outlines a workflow developed in collaboration between GlyGen, ChEBI, and PubChem to improve the visibility and connectivity of glycan data across these resources. GlyGen hosts a subset of glycans (~29,000) from the GlyTouCan database and has submitted valuable glycan annotations to the PubChem database and registered or mapped over 10,500 (including ambiguously defined) glycans into the ChEBI database. The integrated glycans were prioritized based on links to PubChem and connectivity to glycoprotein data. The pipeline provides a blueprint for how glycan data can be harmonized between different resources. The current PubChem, ChEBI, and GlyTouCan mappings can be downloaded from GlyGen(https://data.glygen.org).

“…Eucalyptus oil aids in curing different diseases such as cold, chest pain, influenza, and skin rashes. Oil vapors of Eucalyptus are inhaled to oppose inflammation [19][20][21][22][23]. A solar-based distillation system serves the purpose of effective utilization of heat radiations and is considered energy efficient.…”

Most of the industrial process requires a temperature level below 250?C which is easily achievable using solar energy. Pakistan is fortunate enough to have long sunlight hours and high intensity of solar insolation. The mean total irradiation falling on a horizontal plane is about 200-250 Watt per m2 per day. This precious source of natural energy has tremendous potential in the agro-based industry like the distillation of medicinal plants. The main objective of this study was to conduct a Quantitative and Qualitative analyses of solar distilled oil of the medicinal plant. Solar distillation systems had been installed at Agricultural Engineering Workshop, Faculty of Agricultural Engineering and Technology and Rosa Lab, Institute of Horticultural Sciences, University of Agriculture Faisalabad. This distillation system was designed according to the latitude of Faisalabad. This system comprised of primary reflector, secondary reflector, condenser, and Florentine flask. In this study Eucalyptus Camaldulensis and Eucalyptus Citriodora, essential oils were distilled by solar distillation system and by a conventional distillation system for comparing the results. GC-MS analysis of Eucalyptus Camaldulensis and Eucalyptus Citriodora essential oils were carried out at National Institute of Biotechnology and Genetic Engineering (NIBGE), Faisalabad. The results of quantitative and qualitative analyses of essential oils showed that the quantity and the quality of essential oils of same species of Eucalyptus, distilled by Solar distillation system and conventional controlled distillation system were same. So, it was concluded that the quality and quantity of essential oils of same species don?t differ significantly either distilled by solar distillation system or by conventional controlled distillation system.
