Abstract
The 2020 world population data sheet indicates that world population is projected to increase from 7.8 billion in 2020 to 9.9 billion by 2050 (Increase of more than 25%). Due to the expected growth in human population, the demand for meats that could improve health status and provide therapeutic benefits is also projected to rise. The dromedary also known as the Arabian camel, or one-humped camel ( Camelus dromedarius), a pseudo ruminant adapted to arid climates, has physiological, biological and metabolic characteristics which give it a legendary reputation for surviving in the extreme conditions of desert environments considered restrictive for other ruminants. Camel meat is an ethnic food consumed across the arid regions of Middle East, North-East Africa, Australia and China. For these medicinal and nutritional benefits, camel meat can be a great option for sustainable meat worldwide supply. A considerable amount of literature has been published on technological aspects and quality properties of beef, lamb and pork but the information available on the technological aspects of the meat of the one humped camel is very limited. Camels are usually raised in less developed countries and their meat is as nutritionally good as any other traditional meat source. Its quality also depends on the breed, sex, age, breeding conditions and type of muscle consumed. A compilation of existing literature related to new technological advances in packaging, shelf-life and quality of camel meat has not been reviewed to the best of our knowledge. Therefore, this review attempts to explore the nutritional composition, health benefits of camel meat, as well as various technological and processing interventions to improve its quality and consumer acceptance. This review will be helpful for camel sector and highlight the potential for global marketability of camel meat and to generate value added products.

Abstract
A novel carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) from erythrocytes of camel (Camelus dromedarius) was purified to homogeneity using affinity chromatography and biochemically characterized. Specific activity of 140.88 U/mg was obtained with 745.17-fold purification and 25.37% yield. The enzyme was a monomer with a lower molecular weight (25 kDa) and lower Zn content (0.50 mol of Zn per mol of protein). The enzyme showed higher optimum temperature (70 °C) and pH (pH 9.0), moreover, it was stable at higher temperatures and strongly alkaline pH as judged by thermodynamic parameters (Ea, kd, Ed, t1/2, D-value, Z-value, ΔH, ΔG and ΔS). The enzyme was inhibited by cations (Al3+, Ca2+, Cd2+, Co2+, Cr3+, Cu2+, Fe3+, Ni2+, Mg2+ and Zn2+) as well as by anions (Br‾, CH3COO‾, ClO4‾, CN‾, F‾, HCO3‾, I‾, N3‾, NO3‾ and SCN‾), some anions (C6H5O73-, CO32-, SeO3‾ and SO42-) does not affect enzyme activity. Effect of various chemicals on enzyme activity was also investigated. Km, Vmax, kcat and kcat/Km values for 4-NPA were found to be 1.74 mM, 0.0093 U/mL, 0,0039 s-1 and 0,0023 s-1 mM-1, respectively. With these interesting biochemical properties, camel CA II represents promising candidate for harsh industrial applications, in particular, for a successful biomimetic CO2 sequestration process.

Abstract
A novel scheme was proposed to prepare magnetic adsorbents by co-pyrolysis of titanium gypsum (TiG) and agricultural biomass wastes for phosphate (P) recovery. Co-presence of biomass wastes could improve TiG decomposition in inert atmosphere to generate magnetic centers and active sites, and P adsorption correlated well with organic volatiles of biomass wastes. The adsorption process evolved from a biomass-controlled process to a TiG-controlled process when increasing the mass ratio of corncob above 10 %. The optimal adsorbent (i.e. GC10) exhibited higher P adsorption capacity (Qm 183 mg/g) than many previous adsorbents; moreover, it can be magnetically separated from water after P adsorption. Active sites including CaO, CaS and Fe3O4 were deemed as the main factors for P chemisorption and surface precipitation. Most of adsorbed P could be released continuously and slowly by dilute NaHCO3. These results highlight potential applications of TiG and biomass waste derived adsorbents in P purification and recovery.

Abstract
In this study, a bacterial carbonic anhydrase (CA) was purified from Corynebacterium flavescens for the CO2 conversion into CaCO3. The synthesized CaCO3 can be utilized in the papermaking industry as filler material, construction material and in steel industry. Herein, the CA was purified by using a Sephadex G-100 column chromatography having 29.00 kDa molecular mass in SDS-PAGE analysis. The purified CA showed an optimal temperature of 35 °C and pH 7.5. In addition, a kinetic study of CA using p-NPA as substrate showed Vmax (166.66 μmoL/mL/min), Km (5.12 mM), and Kcat (80.56 sec-1) using Lineweaver Burk plot. The major inhibitors of CA activity were Na2+, K+, Mn2+, and Al3+, whereas Zn2+ and Fe2+ slightly enhanced it. The purified CA showed a good efficacy to convert the CO2 into CaCO3 with a total conversion rate of 65.05 mg CaCO3/mg of protein. In silico analysis suggested that the purified CA has conserved Zn2+ coordinating residues such as His 111, His 113, and His 130 in the active site center. Further analysis of the CO2 binding site showed conserved residues such as Val 132, Val 142, Leu 196, Thr 197, and Val 205. However, a substitution has been observed where Trp 208 of its closest structural homolog T. ammonificans CA is replaced with Arg 207 of C. flavescens. The presence of a hydrophilic mutation in the CO2 binding hydrophobic region is a further subject of investigation.

Abstract
CO2 Capture Utilization and Storage (CCUS) is a fundamental strategy to mitigate climate change, and carbon sequestration, through absorption, can be one of the solutions to achieving this goal. In nature, carbonic anhydrase (CA) catalyzes the CO2 hydration to bicarbonates. Targeting the development of novel biotechnological routes which can compete with traditional CO2 absorption methods, CA utilization has presented a potential to expand as a promising catalyst for CCUS applications. Driven by this feature, the search for novel CAs as biocatalysts and the utilization of enzyme improvement techniques, such as protein engineering and immobilization methods, has resulted in suitable variants able to catalyze CO2 absorption at relevant industrial conditions. Limitations related to enzyme recovery and recyclability are still a concern in the field, affecting cost efficiency. Under different absorption approaches, CA enhances both kinetics and CO2 absorption yields, besides reduced energy consumption. However, efforts directed to process optimization and demonstrative plants are still limited. A recent topic with great potential for development is the CA utilization in accelerated weathering, where industrial residues could be re-purposed towards becoming carbon sequestrating agents. Furthermore, research of new solvents has identified potential candidates for integration with CA in CO2 capture, and through techno-economic assessments, CA can be a path to increase the competitiveness of alternative CO2 absorption systems, offering lower environmental costs. This review provides a favorable scenario combining the enzyme and CO2 capture, with possibilities in reaching an industrial-like stage in the future.

Abstract
Enzymes of commercial importance, such as lipase, amylase, laccase, phytase, carbonic anhydrase, pectinase, maltase, glucose oxidase etc., show multifunctional features and have been extensively used in several fields including fine chemicals, environmental, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, energy, food industry, agriculture and nutraceutical etc. The deployment of biocatalyst in harsh industrial conditions has some limitations, such as poor stability. These drawbacks can be overcome by immobilizing the enzyme in order to boost the operational stability, catalytic activity along with facilitating the reuse of biocatalyst. Nowadays, functionalized polymers and composites have gained increasing attention as an innovative material for immobilizing the industrially important enzyme. The different types of polymeric materials and composites are pectin, agarose, cellulose, nanofibers, gelatin, and chitosan. The functionalization of these materials enhances the loading capacity of the enzyme by providing more functional groups to the polymeric material and hence enhancing the enzyme immobilization efficiency. However, appropriate coordination among the functionalized polymeric materials and enzymes of interest plays an important role in producing emerging biocatalysts with improved properties. The optimal coordination at a biological, physical, and chemical level is requisite to develop an industrial biocatalyst. Bio-catalysis has become vital aspect in pharmaceutical and chemical industries for synthesis of value-added chemicals. The present review describes the current advances in enzyme immobilization on functionalized polymers and composites. Furthermore, the applications of immobilized enzymes in various sectors including bioremediation, biosensor and biodiesel are also discussed.
