“…Carrageenans (κ, ι, λ) are linear, high-molecular-weight, sulfated polysaccharides, which are made up of alternating 3-linked β- d -galactopyranose and 4-linked α- d -galactopyranose or 4-linked 3,6-anhydro-α- d -galactopyranose units (Figure ). Chitin is a long-chain polymer of N -acetylglucosamine, and amide derivative of glucose . In terms of annual production in the biosphere, chitin is only next to cellulose, with an estimated production of over 1 billion metric tons.…”

“…When stockpiled on soil, chitin of crustacean shells could facilitate land fill waste accumulation, occupying valuable space and causing nuisance. Consequently their composting might emit unpleasant odour and leaching of nutrients to pollute groundwater as well as greenhouse gases, which could contribute substantially to atmospheric warming in the long run (Ngasotter et al 2023 ; Topić Popović et al 2023 ). In aquatic environments, chitin wastes accumulation can disrupt the delicate balance of ecosystems.…”

Chitinases, enzymes that degrade chitin, have long been studied for their role in various biological processes. They play crucial roles in the moulting process of invertebrates, the digestion of chitinous food, and defense against chitin-bearing pathogens. Additionally, chitinases are involved in physiological functions in crustaceans, such as chitinous food digestion, moulting, and stress response. Moreover, chitinases are universally distributed in organisms from viruses to mammals and have diverse functions including tissue degradation and remodeling, nutrition uptake, pathogen invasion, and immune response regulation. The discovery of these diverse functions expands our understanding of the biological significance and potential applications of chitinases. However, recent research has shown that chitinases possess several other functions beyond just chitin degradation. Their potential as biopesticides, therapeutic agents, and tools for bioremediation underscores their significance in addressing global challenges. More importantly, we noted that they may be applied as bioweapons if ethical regulations regarding production, engineering and application are overlooked.

“…These reports may include nanosensing technologies for managing FEW resources (Gouma et al 2016), applied engineered-NMs for WEF nexus (Bandala and Berli 2019), integration of the nanotechnology approach to enhance WEF nexus (Okonkwo et al 2021), green synthesis of carbon nanotubes for WEF nexus (Makgabutlane et al 2021). Many studies published in each sector under applying NMs were reported including improving food production (Ngasotter et al 2023), for energy generation (Sathish et al 2023), and removing pollutants from water (Yaashikaa and Kumar 2022;Tatarchuk et al 2023).…”

ATURAL resources are considered the main sources of our life, which include water, energy and food. On the other hand, exponential global human population has place increased stress on such resources and therefore all nations ae enforced to double the productivity of fresh water, clean energy, and healthy food by more than 50-70% to meet their actual needs. These increases are not so easy to be achieved, particularly under climate change. Several approaches are proposed to mitigate the climate change under the Water-Energy-Food (WEF) nexus especially via applying nanomaterials (NMs). This review article describes the evaluation and implementation of applying NMs under climate change in search of suitable proposals to remedy these problems by analyzing the available literature of WEF nexus. The evidences that support the relationship between NMs with WEF nexus and climate change seem weak and/or inconclusive. What is not yet understood is the relative importance of the various factors that might support the global efforts to mitigate climate change and it environmental issues. Many of the available literatures on WEF nexus deal with the question of what are the direct and indirect impacts of climate change on WEF resources, but what remains still unclear is whether applied NMs is a suitable solution or not? The single most striking observation to emerge from the data comparison was several previous studies confirmed the importance of NMs for the environmental problems under certain doses. So far, more studies are needed to explore the relationship between WEF nexus and climate change after applying NMs. In view of all that has been mentioned so far, one may suppose that applied NMs are crucial for conserving WEF resources, but the nanotoxicity is a serious threat should be considered in the further studies.
