Emulsification and antioxidation of biosurfactant extracts from Chinese medicinal herbs fermentation in vitro
Chunyeh Chen, Tachen Lin, Youmin Shieh

Highlights

・The emulsification and antioxidation of potential BECMHF were detected in vitro.
・BECMHF had good DPPH, superoxide scavenging and superoxide dismutase-like activity.
・BECMHF enhanced the antioxidative effect with amphoteric nature of biosurfactant.
・Potential biosurfactant with amphoteric structure proven was analyzed by TLC and NMR.
・The emulsification and antioxidation of BECMHF have food and cosmetic applications.

Effects of sulfide on the integration of denitrification with anaerobic digestion
Zhixuan Yin, Li Xie, Qi Zhou

Highlights

・Anaerobic acidogenesis was accelerated with low S/NO3−–N ratios (0.27–1.08).
・Increases in S/NO3−–N caused a shift from denitrification to DNRA.
・Heterotrophic denitrification and acidogenesis were suppressed with the S/NO3−–N ratios of 1.60.
