‘India will become manufacturing hub,’ says the council president Indian Chemical Council (ICC), the apex body dedicated for the growth and development of chemical industry in India, is aiming to double the size of the industry to $300 billion by 2025. “The Indian chemical industry has witnessed robust growth in the past decade and the
Recent approaches in food bio-preservation – a review Abstract Bio-preservation is a technique of extending the shelf life of food by using natural or controlled microbiota or antimicrobials. The fermentation products as well as beneficial bacteria are generally selected in this process to control spoilage and render pathogen inactive. The special interest organism or central
Detoxification agents based on magnetic nanostructured particles as a novel strategy for mycotoxin mitigation in food. Highlights • A new green methodology to extract mycotoxins from beverages was developed. • The efficacy of 25 nanostructures as mycotoxin adsorbents was tested. • Nanostructures allow removing between 8 and 87% of toxins. • Magnetic nanostructures can be
Identification of small molecule flavor compounds that contribute to the somatosensory attributes of bovine milk products. Highlights •Identified four novel somatosensory compounds that contribute to bovine milk flavor. •Flavor attributes include mouthcoating, astringent, fatty texture, mouthfeel, and irritation. •Compounds reported to contribute to creaminess perception. Abstract Compounds that contribute to the somatosensory flavor profile of
Ectosymbiotic bacteria at the origin of magnetoreception in a marine protist Mutualistic symbioses are often a source of evolutionary innovation and drivers of biological diversification. Widely distributed in the microbial world, particularly in anoxic settings, they often rely on metabolic exchanges and syntrophy. Here, we report a mutualistic symbiosis observed in marine anoxic sediments between
Fumigation is a method of pest control that completely fills an area with gaseous pesticides—or fumigants—to suffocate or poison the pests within. It is used to control pests in buildings (structural fumigation), soil, grain, and produce, and is also used during processing of goods to be imported or exported to prevent transfer of exotic organisms.
The Indian chemical industry is among the established traditional sectors of the country that play an integral role in the country’s economic development. This sector forms a part of the basic goods industry and is a critical input for industrial and agricultural development. The Indian chemical industry is one of the oldest industries in India
Four Trends That Will Define The Chemical Industry’s Future The Chinese zodiac calendar says it’s the Year of the Dog, but in the chemicals industry, 2018 might be more appropriately dubbed the Year of the Tiger for the pace at which the business is changing its stripes. This year we’ve seen a continued shift in
Innovation In The Chemical Industry. The only constant is change, right? For the chemical industry, this could not be more true. In fact, if we were to travel back in time just five or ten years, we would be amazed at the difference. The industry is in a constant state of flux, with mergers often
The Next Wave of Innovation in the Chemicals Industry The world is potentially on the brink of an age of new powerful materials, ushered in by innovation in the chemicals industry. But to be central players in this story, today’s incumbent chemicals companies will need some vital prerequisites: restructuring of their product portfolios, successful exploitation
