ZIF‐8‐Based Solid‐Phase Extraction Coupled With Derivative UV‐Vis Spectrophotometry for Rapid Simultaneous Determination of Hesperidin and Naringin in Citrus Peels

In this study, a rapid and highly sensitive analytical method was developed for the simultaneous extraction and quantification of hesperidin (HES) and naringin (NAR) from citrus peels, effectively valorizing agro‐food industrial waste. For the first time, ZIF‐8 was employed as a...

Screening and ARTP mutagenesis-based breeding of high-cellulase-producing strains

Abstract While lignocellulose is an abundant renewable resource, the discovery of microorganisms capable of degrading lignocellulose is important for its full utilization. In this study, 26 soil samples were collected from Jigongshan National Nature Reserve, Xinyang, China. The C...
