An exopolysaccharide (EPS) from a Lactobacillus plantarum BR2 with potential benefits for making functional foods.
TL;DR: A high molecular weight EPS of glucomannan nature was recovered and purified and it displayed potent antioxidant activity with 29.8% radical scavenging activity and 19% total antioxidant capacity indicating its potential for safe use as a food additive.

Hydrotropic pretreatment on rice straw for bioethanol production
Leena P. Devendra,Ashok Pandey +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of hydrotrope as a pretreatment process on rice straw for bioethanol production and found that hydrope can remove more than 50% of lignin from rice straw with 5% biomass loading at 121°C for 1h.
