“…Squalene content in olive oil was reported in the range of 110 to 839 mg/100 g [14] and 2-4 g/100 g (wt%) in palm fatty acid distillate [53,58,59]. Amaranth extract obtained in this work reached, then, an acceptable purity as described above.…”

Extraction of squalene, a potent natural antioxidant, from puffed A. hypochondriacus seeds was performed by supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE); besides, to have a blank for comparison, extraction was performed also by Soxhlet method using organic solvents (hexane). Chemical proximal composition and seed morphology were determined in raw, puffed, and SCFE-extracted seeds. Extracts were obtained with a 500 mL capacity commercial supercritical extractor and performed between 10 and 30 MPa at 313, 323, and 333 K under constant CO 2 flow of 0.18 kg CO 2 /h during 8 h. The squalene content was determined and the fatty acids present in the extracts were identified by GC-MS. The extract obtained by SCFE from puffed amaranth seeds reached 460 ± 28.1 g/kg squalene in oily extract at 313 K/20 MPa.

“…These have led to the discovery of functional metabolites such as caffeoyl-shikimic acid as the major component of oil palm phenolics [122,123]. Valorization of palm mill by-products by recovering high-value compounds [124,125] increases business opportunities for stakeholders in the palm oil industry. The important functional molecules found in palm fruits include tocopherol, tocotrienols, carotenes, squalene, phospholipids, phytosterols, polyphenols, phenolic acids, flavonoids, and coenzyme Q10 [35].…”

Crop yield improvement is essential for feeding the growing world population without concomitant increases in land allocated to agriculture. Oil crops are critical components of food supply as well as non-food applications. Oil palm is of particular value due to its significantly higher yield per unit area of land as compared to other oil crops. In the context of sustainable production of edible oils, this review will discuss the role of biochemical-omics techniques, including metabolomics, transcriptomics and proteomics research for yield improvement through plant breeding; in particular, the unique challenges of the mesocarp-oil bearing perennial crop, oil palm, are specifically discussed along with perspectives on what is needed for future crop improvement. Future oil crop improvement will need to go beyond classical trait selection, and omics research needs to go beyond looking at oil biosynthesis and fruit development. We need to explore carbon supply and flux, plant stress response, nutrient uptake and water use through a combination of genetics, biochemistry, epigenetics and gene interaction coupled to more detailed and continuous phenotypic data analysis.

“…Lignocellulosic materials act as a major component of environmental wastes because of rising urbanization which are essential to the functioning of modern industrial societies. Recently lignocellulosic biomasses have gained increasing research interests and special importance because of their renewable nature [1], [2]. Therefore, the huge amounts of lignocellulosic biomass can potentially be converted into different high value products including bio-fuels, value added fine chemicals, and cheap energy sources for microbial fermentation and enzyme production [1], [3], [4], etc.…”

Lignocellulose wastes dominate our earth being considered as a serious cause for environmental pollution issues. However the lignocellulosic biomass can be converted to higher value-added products such as biofuel, enzymes etc. usually requiring a multi-step processing such as pretreatment, hydrolysis, fermentation etc. Cellulose is major polysaccharides in lignocellulosic biomass wastes being converted into simple sugars usually requiring synergistic action of multiple cellulolytic enzymes from different bacteria. Thermophiles act as a better source towards better lignocellulose biomass utilization for fermentation for various value-added product as well as biofuel production. Several researches were conducted on cellulolytic activity of thermophilic bacteria using various substrates. However the present study is mainly based on waste utilization containing cellulose as major component into different byproducts through cellulase enzymes from thermophiles which would enlighten the present market towards waste utilization ultimately combating the environmental pollution.
