Protein is one of the most important, foremost, and versatile nutrients in food. The quantity and quality of protein are determinants of its nutritional values. Therefore, adequate consumption of high-quality protein is essential for optimal growth, development, and health of humans. Based on short-term nitrogen balance studies, the Recommended Dietary Allowance of protein for the healthy adult with minimal physical activity is 0.8 g protein/kg body weight (BW) per day. Proteins are present in good quantities in not only animals but also in plants, especially in legumes. With the growing demand for protein, interest in plant proteins is also rising due to their comparative low cost as well as the increase in consumers’ demand originating from health and environmental concerns. Legumes are nutrient-dense foods, comprising components identified as “antinutritional factors” that can reduce the bioavailability of macro and micronutrients. Other than nutritive value, the physiochemical and behavioral properties of proteins during processing plays a significant role in determining the end quality of food. The term “complete protein” refers to when all nine essential amino acids are present in the correct proportion in our bodies. To have a balanced diet, the right percentage of protein is required for our body. The consumption of these high protein-containing foods will lead to protein sustainability and eradicate malnutrition. Here, we shed light on major opportunities to strengthen the contribution of diversity in legume crops products to sustainable diets. This review will boost awareness and knowledge on underutilized proteinous foods into national nutritional security programs.

“…Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), an anionic derivative of cellulose, contains (-CH 2 -COOH) groups linked to the (OH) groups of glucopyranose monomers that built the cellulose backbone. Furthermore, the CMC is an inexpensive, non-toxic, biodegradable, and renewable polymer (Noreen et al, 2020). On the other hand, GO is an oxygen-rich material containing (OH) groups located at both the GO surface and (COOH) groups localized at its edges.…”

Graphene oxide modified with carboxymethyl cellulose for high adsorption capacities towards Nd(III) and Ce(III) from aqueous solutions

This work addresses a simple method to functionalize graphene oxide with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose using tetraethyl orthosilicate as a linker for rapid and significant removal of Nd(III) and Ce(III) from aqueous solutions. The prepared composite (GO–CMC) was characterized by different techniques to confirm the modification and adsorption process. The sorption performance of the GO–CMC was evaluated using Nd(III) and Ce(III) as absorbent materials. The experimental results demonstrated that the sorption process was excellently fitted by the pseudo-second-order kinetic model. The adsorption results were also analyzed by different isotherm models. According to the Langmuir isotherm model, the experimental sorption capacities at pH 3.0 was 661.21 and 436.55 mg/g for Nd(III) and Ce(III), respectively. The thermodynamic results indicated that the sorption process of the two examined metal ions was endothermic and spontaneous. The regenerated GO–CMC composite has a similar removal percentage to the original composite. These results confirmed that the prepared composite (GO–CMC) could be used as an effective adsorbent for Nd(III) and Ce(III) from certain multielement solutions.
