Abstract:
The interest in sustainable products has increased along the years, since the choice of products, packaging and production processes have a great impact on the environment. These products are classified by regulatory agencies in different categories, aggregating advantages to the product and increasing the demand by consumers. However, there is no harmonization in guidelines of these certifying agencies and each cosmetic industry formulates their product and packaging in a more rational way, which causes less damage to the environment. Many cosmetic products have in their formulation natural products that perform a specific biological function, but these products should be evaluated on efficacy and toxicological aspects. The aim of this article is to approach sustainability, natural and organic cosmetics, considering the consumer and the efficacy, toxicological and regulatory aspects.

Abstract:
In recent decades, there has been an increase in environmental problems caused by cosmetic products derived from toxic substances. Based on this issue, researchers and developers of new beauty cosmetics are looking for new natural alternatives that work well for the consumer and have biodegradable characteristics. This systematic review highlights the major publications of bacterial cellulose used strictly for cosmetics in the last 10 years. Bacterial cellulose is a natural product with great cosmetic properties and low cost that has shown excellent results. This study aimed at collecting rigorous information on bacterial cellulose in the cosmetic field in the last decade to produce a systematized review. A comprehensive search was conducted with selected descriptors involving the topic of “bacterial cellulose”, “cosmetics”, “clean beauty”, and “skin mask”. Seventy studies were found, which went through exclusion criteria that selected only those related to the topic that was searched. In the 12 remaining studies that met the criteria, bacterial cellulose showed conditions for use as a mask-forming product for facial care. The increase in the number of publications concerning bacterial cellulose in cosmetics in the last ten years is a strong indicator that this is a growing area for both research and the industry.

Abstract:
Cosmetic products in Indonesia are growing rapidly in this era of technological progress, so now cosmetics are synonymous with women, and men are also interested in skincare. However, due to the lack of knowledge about the function of the substances contained in a product whether it is good or not if used in cosmetic products. Apart from that, most people do not know how to utilize village potential. Making organic masks aims to avoid the dangers of instant masks and utilizing the potential of village natural resources is the right solution. Therefore, this community service activity can be used as education on organic masks based on utilizing the potential of Ulva lactuca seaweed. Organic masks are very safe from chemicals that can damage facial skin. Organic masks contain more nutrients that are good for facial skin and can be used by all facial skin types. The results of community service showed a low increase in the participants' understanding of knowledge.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the term "green" is often used interchangeably with "organic" or "healthy" in marketing. When a customer hears the term "green cosmetics," they will immediately associate the brand or product with environmental consciousness. In the context of the cosmetics industry, natural components derived from renewable raw materials are used to create "green" and "sustainable" cosmetics. Petrol is a non-renewable and highly volatile fuel that is used by many enterprises as petrochemical components. On the other side, the foundation of the green cosmetics movement is bio-based oleochemicals, which come from renewable plant and bacterial sources. The purpose was to study respondent’s behaviour towards green products by analysing the students attitudes to choosing to purchase organic cosmetics. The study covers the P.G Students of Adipur city of Kachchh region. This research is based on perception towards use of green cosmetic brands. It was discovered that eco-friendly cosmetics play a significant role in satisfying consumers' diverse demands while also being sustainable and kind to the environment.

Abstract:
This study sought to evaluate the possibility of using grape pomace, a waste material from wine production, for the preparation of cosmetic components. Following the existing clear research trend related to improving the safety of cleansing cosmetics, an attempt was made to determine the possibility of preparing model shower gels based on grape pomace extract. A new method for producing cosmetic components named loan chemical extraction (LCE) was developed and is described for the first time in this paper. In the LCE method, an extraction medium consisting only of the components from the final product was used. Thus, there were no additional substances in the cosmetics developed, and the formulation was significantly enriched with compounds isolated from grape pomace. Samples of the model shower gels produced were evaluated in terms of their basic parameters related to functionality (e.g., foaming properties, rheological characteristics, color) and their effect on the skin. The results obtained showed that the extracts based on waste grape pomace contained a number of valuable cosmetic compounds (e.g., organic acids, phenolic compounds, amino acids and sugars), and the model products basis on them provided colorful and safe natural cosmetics.

Abstract:
Background: Natural cosmetics are becoming increasingly popular among the general public. Natural beauty products promote a holistic approach to environmental and health preservation. As a result, consumers seeking that type of cosmetics search for products that may ensure a genuinely natural effect. Over the last two decades, the number of studies demonstrating the benefits of natural ingredients in cosmetics for dermatologic and hair care, as well as disease treatment, has increased. For centuries, almonds have been employed in cosmetics. They increase the radiance and fairness of the skin. Almonds are widely available in the Portuguese region of Trás-os-Montes, and suggestions for using them in cosmetics should be made. This study presents a method of using almond shells as a cosmetic product easily reproducible at home. Materials and Methods: All equipment employed was cleaned and disinfected beforehand. Almond shells were ground to a powder and incorporated into a gel exfoliant formulation. Results: With a gentle rub, apply the almond shell exfoliation gel to the entire body. A sponge, lukewarm water, or damp cotton may be used to remove the product. The product may last for up to one month if properly stored and manufactured. Conclusion: As the demand for knowledge, acquisition, and the use of natural and organic cosmetics grows, the topic becomes increasingly relevant, as is the desire to stay young and seek accurate information in order to formulate organic and natural cosmetics. Key words: Almond Shells; Exfoliant; Natural Cosmetics; Natural Ingredients; Trás-Os-Montes

Abstract:
Le scepticisme du consommateur envers les entreprises va en augmentant. Cependant, les études sur les déterminants et les conséquences de ce phénomène sur les produits bio/vert font défaut. Afin de combler partiellement cette lacune, cette thèse porte sur le scepticisme vert en explorant et comparant des consommateurs issus de trois milieux culturels différents. Le premier essai vise à étudier la relation entre le scepticisme et le comportement d'achat des cosmétiques bio en se basant sur la théorie attitude-comportement-contexte (ABC). Le deuxième essai met en lumière l'effet psychologique du scepticisme sur le comportement de consommation verte. Le troisième essai aborde la question suivante : le scepticisme à l’égard des aliments biologiques pourrait-il expliquer en partie l'écart entre les nombreuses attitudes positives à l'égard des aliments biologiques exprimées par les consommateurs et leurs choix réels ? À partir des données collectées auprès des consommateurs en Tunisie, en Italie et en France, nous avons effectué une comparaison par pays, en adoptant l'approche de modélisation par équations structurelles. Les résultats ont révélé que le scepticisme vert est un puissant inhibiteur de l'adoption de produits bio et verts par les consommateurs dans les trois pays. Considérés ensemble, ces trois essais contribuent à la littérature en soulignant l'importance des déterminants psychologiques et inhibiteurs de la consommation de produits bio et verts
Consumer skepticism towards companies is on the rise. However, studies on the determinants and the consequences of this phenomenon on organic /green products are lacking. In order to partially fill this gap, this thesis focuses on green skepticism by exploring and comparing consumers from three different cultural backgrounds. The first essay investigated the relationship between, green skepticism and the purchasing behaviour of organic cosmetics, based on the attitude-behaviour- context (ABC) theory. The second essay aimed at providing a better understanding on the psychological effect of skepticism on green consumption behaviour. The third essay demonstrated whether organic food skepticism could partly explain the gap” or discrepancy between the great deal of positive attitudes towards organic food expressed by consumers and their actual choices. Based on data collected from consumers in Tunisia, Italy and France, we conducted a cross-country comparison adopting the structural equation modeling approach. Results revealed that green skepticism is strong inhibitor towards adoption of organic and green products among consumers in the three countries. Together, the three essays contribute to the literature by highlighting the importance of the psychological determinants and inhibitors of the adoption of organic and green products

Abstract:
La sostenibilità e l’attenzione verso l’ambiente sono realtà che ormai fanno parte della strategia di sviluppo di qualsiasi prodotto e servizio. Particolarmente attuale è l’applicazione di queste tematiche al mondo della cosmesi. Negli ultimi decenni abbiamo assistito ad un radicale cambiamento nella formulazione dei prodotti cosmetici da parte delle case cosmetiche, sempre più attente all’utilizzo di ingredienti naturali, organici e soprattutto sani. Nel corso della mia analisi, dopo una breve introduzione sulla storia, lo sviluppo e le scoperte dell’industria cosmetica nel corso degli anni, fornirò delle nozioni di base sui concetti di naturale e organico e spiegherò come prodotti definiti tali sono regolamentati attraverso standard e certificazioni. Successivamente queste tematiche verranno approfondite dal punto di vista del diritto internazionale, analizzando le principali normative che regolano il commercio e la sicurezza dei prodotti cosmetici nell’ambito del WTO (Organizzazione Mondiale del Commercio). Ciò che emerge da questo scenario è la mancanza di una politica comune sia per ciò che riguarda l’individuazione di certificazioni condivise a livello internazionale sia per quanto riguarda i metodi che permettono la comprovazione della sicurezza dei prodotti. Grandi controversie sono sorte e continuano a presentarsi riguardo alla pratica di testare i prodotti sugli animali, e riguardo alla nuova direttiva Europea che prevede il divieto assoluto dal 2013 di utilizzare animali per testare prodotti cosmetici. Il problema principale riguarda quindi la capacità di seguire una politica comune a livello internazionale che tuteli i consumatori, ma assicuri allo stesso tempo la salvaguardia degli animali e dell’ambiente. Di grande importanza è l’applicazione delle 3R (Ridurre, Riutilizzare e Riciclare), pilastro dello sviluppo sostenibile, ad ogni settore della catena produttiva dei prodotti cosmetici. Questo significa investire in pratiche consapevoli e attente all’ambiente che prevedono ad esempio il reperimento di materie prime coltivate in ecosistemi fragili e che vengono valorizzate attraverso il commercio equo-solidale. Allo stesso tempo i passi avanti che sono stati compiuti nella ricerca e nell’innovazione hanno portato le aziende cosmetiche ad investire sempre di più in pratiche sostenibili quali la riduzione delle emissioni di anidride carbonica, l’utilizzo di fonti alternative di energia rinnovabili, e lo sviluppo di prodotti sempre meno impattanti e con un packaging biodegradabile. Nella fase conclusiva della mia analisi presenterò la storia, lo sviluppo, e le scelte di mercato di due case cosmetiche di successo, The Body Shop e Lush, che hanno fatto della sostenibilità e dell’attenzione all’ambiente i loro punti di forza, proponendo nel mercato prodotti naturali, sani ed innovativi.

This paper incorporates the Theory of Planned Behavior (TPB) in studying the consumers’ behavior in the context of organic cosmetic products. Our conceptual framework incorporates three distinct constructs of consumer beliefs that antecedent to the attitude: environmental consciousness, health consciousness, and appearance consciousness. Additional construct – price consciousness is hypothesized to moderates the effects attitude and subjective norm on purchase intention, respectively. Online survey was conducted for data collection and a total of 263 consumers in Malaysia have supported this survey. The results indicate that environmental consciousness has no effect on attitude toward organic cosmetic products, while health and appearance consciousness show positive effects. Nevertheless, price consciousness that acts as a moderator does not show any moderating effect. The theoretical and managerial implications of the results as well as the future research recommendations are discussed.

It is the basis of all cleansing products, it is responsible for the structure of creams and lotions. This chapter concentrates on its use in cleansing products by describing how it can turn water into an effective cleansing product. We will learn how we build on that simple addition to give a huge range of products that are now available and how the science of surfactants is adapting with current trends of natural, organic and sustainability.

Abstract:
Organic acids constitute a group of organic compounds that find multiple applications in the food, cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. For this reason, the market for these products is continuously growing. Traditionally, most organic acids have been produced by chemical synthesis from oil derivatives. However, the irreversible depletion of oil has led us to pay attention to other primary sources as possible raw materials to produce organic acids. The microbial production of organic acids from lactose could be a valid, economical, and sustainable alternative to guarantee the sustained demand for organic acids. Considering that lactose is a by-product of the dairy industry, this review describes different procedures to obtain organic acids from lactose by using microbial bioprocesses.

When the campaign against cosmetic testing reached significant dimensions in the 1970s and 1980s, animal tests commonly caused blindness, pain, and death to rabbits, rats, and other animals. Many improvements have been made to alleviate these problems, but animal welfare groups as well as some cosmetics manufacturers remain active in pressing for a ban on testing the safety of cosmetics that involves animals.

The first one is Natura, from cosmetic sector, recognized for its pioneering role in socio-environmental activities and investments in product innovation, in particular the Ekos’ line that extracts raw materials from Amazon rainforest, while preserves it. The other two belong to agrobusiness sector. One is Native, brand of the Balbo Organization (1946), a traditional family for the sugar and ethanol sector. It had changed its operational processes and launched the Native brand for organic sugar. Today is a reference for the organic market, operating in 70 countries, being the world’s largest producer of organic sugar and alcohol. The other one is BSBIOS, a vertical company of agroenergy. Founded in 2005, today is the largest national producer of biodiesel to national and international market. They all attend to sustainability model, but it is embedded in different ways into their corporate strategy.

Pollution is the adverse alteration of the physical, chemical, and/or biological characteristics of air, water, or soil brought on by the presence of an excessive amount of different contaminants known as pollutants. Pollutants are dangerous substances that can be either foreign chemicals, energies, or contaminants that occur naturally. Both substances and energies can be considered forms of pollution. Air pollutants are separated into primary and secondary categories depending on whether they are directly released from the source or are formed by the reaction of primary pollutants with other species. They can be generated as the result of various human activities or natural events, and the same is true for water pollution. Many of the anthropogenic activities like transportation, and the various vehicles - autos and buses- by-products released are carbon monoxide, oxides of nitrogen, and particulate matter that can pollute the air. Natural processes can also release their specific contaminant like volcanic eruption (SO2, CO, Fine PM), biogenic emissions (VOCs, terpenes, isoprenes, pollen) and cause air as well as other types of pollution. The second classification is based on the physical characteristics of the pollutant; the first in this are gases such as carbon monoxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, and sulphur; the second includes particulate matter (PM), such as carbon black, and heavier hydrocarbons which are in form of aerosols, suspensions of liquid and solid particles in the atmosphere. Numerous antigens with a proteinaceous nature that are mostly airborne and known as aeroallergens are also pollutants that might result in allergic responses. They can be produced by household dust, pets, medications, food, pollens, fungi, and mite products. Additionally, these goods contain the antigens absorbed and transported by organic or inorganic dust particles. The concentration of pollutants in the natural environment is increasing at alarming rates, which is not good for both human and animal health. Both internal and external bodily parts may be impacted by them. This could eventually lead to the slow deterioration of these organs. Proper maintenance on a regular basis must be carried out in order to maintain the proper health of the body's external parts. The pollutants may get deposit filth on the skin, and some chemicals may even reach the deeper layers of the skin. Human skin's protective barriers may be reduced as a result of their presence. This can also result in issues of the skin like pigmentation, tone patches, dullness, and wrinkle development, leading to premature aging of the skin. The water contains some extra pollutants also namely pathogens, poisonous minerals, and dead and decomposing things present in greater amounts and can therefore have a more impact if they come into touch with skin. The penetration of air pollutants through the epidermis and pores is more prominent due to the majority of these components being in liquid form. Various cosmetic preparations can be used for this purpose. According to EU Regulation 1223/2009, “Cosmetic product means any substance or mixture intended to be placed in contact with the external parts of the human body (epidermis, hair system, nail, lips, and external genital organs) or with the teeth and the mucous membranes of the oral cavity with the view exclusively or mainly to cleaning them, perfuming them, changing their appearance, protecting them, keeping them in good condition or correcting body odours”. Cosmetic products are classified as leave-on or wash-off products. The products containing natural ingredients available now are superior to fully synthetic products. Thus, switching from chemicals to natural products that contain some inert components can be can help effectively achieve the goal. Several patents have also been granted for cosmetic products of natural origin. The main strategy should be to deep clean, provide complete protection, protect against attacks and restore proper function. A better understanding of pollutants and their mechanisms of action on the body has led to the development of better products

Abstract:
Rapid depletion of conventional sources of energy and the growing environmental concern of their use warrant urgent attention to look for suitable energy alternatives. In this regard the seeds of Jatropha curcas, constituting 40–50% bio-crude oil are considered as one of the most promising alternatives for the production of bio-diesel. It is estimated that about 1.5 tons de-oiled cake is produced from seeds obtained from one hectare of plantation, utilized for bio-diesel extraction process. Being non-edible due to its toxic contents, cost effective safe disposal of this by-product can only be possible if there is a meaningful utilization. India’s tobacco industry is the second largest in the world after China, having vast area under tobacco cultivation. The wastes from tobacco industry lead to significant environmental pollution that has severe impacts on both flora and fauna. A few studies on this aspect have revealed that Jatropha and tobacco bio-wastes have potential to be used as organic fertilizers. The present study aims at developing appropriate bio-processes and formulation that utilize Jatropha seed cake and waste of tobacco industry as organic fertilizer for improving the growth of Chrysanthemum, a flower variety valued for its beauty and fragrance and having wide applications in cosmetic and perfumery products. Pot experiments were carried out by adding specific proportions of Jatropha de-oiled cake and tobacco waste to normal garden soil. The growth and morphological parameters of Chrysanthemum plants grown in pots prepared by the treated soil were monitored for 4–5 months and the results were recorded. The results have been encouraging as the treatments lead to a significant enhancement in flower growth as well as yield. 11.5% increase in number of buds per plant was recorded for treated soil as compared to the control soil. The number of flowers per plant also recorded an increase of 16% to 24% due to the effect of formulation applied to the soil. Similar trends were observed for other parameters like flower size, flower head size, flower weight and ray floret number. Through experimentation new composted organic fertilizer formulations, tailored to specific commercial crop has been developed. The research findings would enable these bio-wastes to be used as a viable alternative to the energy intensive chemical fertilizers for floriculture, thus contributing to the mitigation of global climate change. This addition in the value chain would improve the financial viability of bio-diesel extraction process. This new synergistic organic fertilizer formulation when used as an alternative to nitrogenous chemical fertilizers would also provide an opportunity to earn carbon credits which is estimated to be € 67904 millions/year.

Abstract:
The current global trend towards more stringent environmental standards, technical applicability and cost-effectiveness, became key factors in the selection of adsorbents. After demonstrating the performance of eggshell-derived adsorbent under a range of lab operating conditions, this work focused the adsorption efficiency of calcined eggshell powder (CEP), in the treatment of wastewaters from different industrial units. In order to do it, the removal of organic material, expressed as chemically oxygen demand (COD), was monitored in leachate wastewaters from sanitary landfill (LLWW) and in municipal residual wastewaters (MWW). Furthermore, the efficiency of alkaline metals removal, specifically from effluents of industrial unites from superficial treatments, was also assessed. A detailed study of the eggshell characteristics, before and after the adsorption process, was carried out, aiming at investigate the adsorption mechanism underlying the removal of different pollutants. Results demonstrate that adsorption of organic material and metals in the CEP, go around 84% of organic material removal in MWW and 81% in LLWW. Finally, a removal of 95% of aluminium (Al) from MWW, deriving from anodizing industrial plant, and a removal of 88% copper (Cu), 95% chromium (Cr) and 30% nickel (Ni) from effluents of superficial treatments produced in Ni/Cr plating plants, were also determined This suggests that CEP adsorbent is appropriated to wastewaters treatment with high contents of organic matter and heavy metals, from different aqueous systems or different industries. The application of this adsorbent in this methodology showed good cost-benefits ratio, proving that it can be an effective alternative to activated carbon. However, aiming the progress and sustainability of the whole eggshell valorisation, we are further optimizing, testing and developing new techniques and products to recover the organic fraction of the eggshell through the reclamation of several bioactive peptides derived from hydrolysis of different proteins that constitute these residues. These products are intended to be introduced in the food, cosmetic and pharmaceutical markets.

Abstract:
Agro-industrial and food processing from pumpkins (Cucurbitaceae) produces a large number of by-products: bark, pomace, seeds still rich in bioactive compounds, especially carotenoids and green pigments (proto chlorophyll (a and b) and proto pheophytin (a and b)), which exhibit a broad spectrum of health-promoting effects and can be used as ingredients in functional food and cosmetics. For extraction of bioactive compounds from dried pumpkin by-products different methods were used: supercritical CO2, Soxhlet extraction with n- hexane, ethanol. Vegetable oils (rapeseed, coconut, grapeseed and olive oil) were used as green solvent alternatives to conventional organic solvents for carotenoid extraction. Detection and analyses of chlorophylls and carotenoids was done with hexane/acetone, cyclohexane, ethanol as solvents. The aim of this study was to use pumpkin by-products for extraction of high-value bioactive compounds with different methods, to determine antioxidant´s content and profile – carotenoids (ß-carotene, lutein, lycopene, zeaxanthin), pigments (chlorophylls a, chlorophylls b) with different solvents and to find out what solvent can be used for detection of pigments and carotenoids; to determine antiradical scavenging activity of biologically active compounds in extracts from pumpkin by-products (peel and hulled seeds).

Abstract:
Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) is a widespread aromatic plant exploited globally for essential oil production. It is known that the remaining wastes after industrial processing are rich in secondary metabolites with relevant biological activities [1]. In particular, triterpenic acids have recently attracted the interest of scientific community because of their broad activity spectrum which makes them very attractive for the use in cosmetics and healthcare products as functional compounds. The aim of this study was isolation and analytical studies on different fractions obtained from Lavandula angustifolia ethanolic extracts. The vegetal plant material represented wastes generated on the extraction of essential oil at industrial scale. The obtained integral extracts were mixed with different organic solvents of different polarity in acid and basic medium, thus obtaining a series of fractions with different content of secondary metabolites. The fractions with a high content of triterpenic acids were selected by using thin layer chromatography. The analytical experiments included determination of total polyphenols with the Folin-Ciocâlteu reagent, quantitative determination of flavonoids, FRAP reducing capacity test and qNMR determination of oleanolic, ursolic, pomolic and rosmarinic acids. According to the obtained results fractions showing higher total polyphenols (495.59 mg EGA/g of extract) were also rich in flavonoids (343.01 mg catechin equivalent/g of extract) demonstrating relevant reducing capacity (386.67 mg EGA/g of extract) and high rosmarinic acid content (cca. 250 mg/g of extract). The triterpenic acids have been found to predominate in less polar fractions.

Abstract:
The seaweed collected after stranding on beaches of Latvia is underexploited natural resource, which has a potential as raw material for biologically active compound extraction for cosmetic and pharmacy and fertilizer in sustainable agriculture. The aim of the present study was development of the approach for the processing of brown alga Fucus vesiculosus biomass, collected from the Gulf of Riga. The thorough characterization of the chemical composition of Fucus vesiculosus has shown that it is a potential source for obtaining of nitrogen-containing fertilizers, and biologically active compounds. One of the proposed approaches for the processing of the Fucus vesiculosus biomass under study includes algae extraction with organic solvents and CaCl2 solution and obtaining soil organic amendment on the basis of the extract-free residue. The ethyl acetate extract was rich in phenolic compounds (430 ± 30 GAE mg/g) with high antioxidant activity in DPPH• and ABTS•+ tests. The ethanol extract contained significant amounts of phlorotannins that was confirmed by the data of LC-MS/MS analysis. The CaCl2 extract was used for the obtaining of sulphated polysaccharide fucoidane (yield ≈7% on the basis of oven dry matter, o.d.m.), which has numerous biological activities. The extract-free residue didn’t show phytotoxicity. The extract free algal biomass exhibited positive effect in root elongation tests with oat (Avena sativa). As alternative approach for processing of the algal biomass, the mechano-chemical treatment of algal biomass with lignin was proposed. EPR analyses confirmed interaction between algal biomass and lignin.

Abstract:
Given the ubiquity of limonene in cleaning and cosmetic products, investigating its gasphase oxidation products from reactions with OH radicals and ozone has become important for human health. The present study investigates limonene gas-phase reaction with OH radicals under controlled NOx or NOx-free conditions using facilities from the 760 L Environmental Simulation Chamber made of Quartz (ESC-Q-UAIC) together with state-of-the-art instruments such as proton-transfer-reaction time-of-flight mass spectrometer (PTR-ToF-MS, model 6000 X2, IONICON). The obtained kinetic results (klimonene+OH = (16.42 � 2.20) ? 10-11 cm3?molecule-1?s-1), based on the relative rate techniques with 1,3,5-trimethylbenzene and cyclohexene as reference compounds, are in good agreement with the previous kinetic studies. The PTR-ToF-MS mass spectra acquired within the NOx-free experiments revealed signals at mass-to-charge ratios of 101.060, 139.112, and 169.122, that may be assigned to potentially harmful oxidation products, namely 4-oxopentanal (C5H8O2), 4-acetyl-1-methylcyclohexene (C9H14O), and 3-isopropenyl-6-oxo-heptanal (C10H16O2), respectively. Additionally, observed differences between NOx and NOx-free experiments highlight that NOx strongly suppresses the formation of secondary organic aerosols during limonene oxidation and favours the formation of 4-acetyl-1-methylcyclohexene.

Abstract:
The selective electro-oxidation of bio-based organic molecules such as glycerol, polyglycerols, saccharides and furanic compounds has received particular attention in recent years, due to the high value-added compounds that result and their numerous industrial applications. Electrochemical methods are therefore well suited for the controlled oxidation of small organic molecules in aqueous media. Glycerol valorization through partial oxidation is a good way of obtaining many different molecules with high added value such as glyceric acid, tartronic acid, dihydroxyacetone, glyceraldehyde etc., that can find various applications in different domains such as organic chemistry, medical, and cosmetic industries. Here we have studied the electro-oxidation of glycerol in the presence of Pt or Pd-based catalysts. The development of mono- and bimetallic catalysts based on platinum on the one hand and palladium on the other hand for the electro-oxidation of glycerol is a very important goal to direct the reaction pathways to desired products.            Bimetallic catalysts synthesized by the water-in-oil microemulsion method were characterized by physicochemical (TEM, XRD, ATG, SAA and ICP-OES) and electrochemical (active surface and surface composition study) methods in order to obtain a correlation between surface structure and electrochemical response. The reactivity of glycerol and diglycerol in alkaline medium was evaluated to determine the catalyst offering the best conversion. A selectivity study of these catalysts was performed by in situ infrared spectroscopy to determine the reaction intermediates. The distribution of reaction products was determined by HPLC analysis and 1H and 13C NMR analyses.            Reductive amination reactions with ammonia on the one hand and n-butylamine on the other hand on products identified as being of interest (glyceraldehyde/dihydroxyacetone) were carried out in the presence of hydrogen and catalyzed by palladium-based nanoparticles dispersed on carbon.

"The history of medicinal plants is associated with the evolution of civilization. In all regions of the world, the history of nations shows that these plants have always occupied an important place in medicine, in cosmetic products, and culinary preparations. The paper aims to determine the total polyphenols in different parts of the species Lysimachia nummularia L. In our study, we focused on the extraction of polyphenolic compounds in different solvents. The solvents used in the extraction were: 40% ethanol, concentrated methanol, in water. The total polyphenol content was determined by spectrophotometric methods, a method from the European Pharmacopoeia 10.0, with minor modifications. The total polyphenol content of different extracts varied depending on the extraction process. Different parts of the plant and different solvents were used in the determinations carried out to establish the optimal extraction method for the organs of Lysimachia nummularia L."

Abstract:
Background: Surfactants best known for their use in the industry of detergents, household products, and cosmetics. Usually, the amount of released surfactants into the environment is diluted during secondary water treatment. However, there is always a risk of releasing untreated and polluted wastewater containing high amounts of surfactants without knowing the harmful effect on biotic and abiotic elements of the environment. SAPDMA is a surfactant that is used mostly in cosmetics, conditioning agents, and recently in corrosion inhibition. The classification of SAPDMA as a “safe” or “green” surfactant by different environment or chemical agencies is ambiguous, and the literature is lacking. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of SAPDMAusing the zebrafish embryo model. Methods: Zebrafish embryos were exposed to different concentrations of SAPDMA and the effect was assessed by different toxicity assays. This includes mortality/ survival assay to assess the median lethal dose (LC50) teratogenicity assay to assess the no observed effect concentration (NOEC); and organ specific toxicity assays including cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity (using locomotion assay), and hemoglobin synthesis (using odianisidine staining). Results: Exposure of zebrafish embryos to SAPDMA caused mortality in a dose-dependent manner with a calculated LC50 of 2.3 mg/L. Thus, based on the LC50 value and according to the Fish and Wildlife Service Acute Toxicity Rating Scale, SAPDMA is classified as “moderately toxic”. The NOEC, the concentration that did not cause any significant teratogenicity, was 0.1mg/L. However, this concentration caused significant organ specific and cytotoxic effects, suggesting that harmless concentrations of SAPDMAare lower than 0.1 mg/L. Conclusion: Our data indicate that SAPDMA at very low concentrations causes adverse effects on zebrafish embryos. Thus, we recommend that the use of SAPDMA in industry should be re-evaluated and monitored by the environment and public health agencies.
