Abstract
C-Phycocyanin and sugar (C-PC/S) blended agar hydrocolloid was prepared and its rheological, thermo-functional and morphological properties were examined based on the fluorescence excitation-emission matrix profile. Sucrose (40%, w/v) determined as a superior preservative, maintaining the native conformation of C-PC effectively. C-PC/S exhibited enhanced structural integrity with high storage modulus (G') and 86.4% swelling index. FT-IR demonstrated strong intramolecular bonding. TGA revealed that the presence of sucrose prolonged the devolatilization peak up to 325 °C, with a degradation rate of -2.273 mg/min, it the thermal stability. C-PC/S fortified hydrocolloid in ice cream (5.0% w/w), reduced melting rate up to five times. In conclusion, sucrose as a promising enhancer of color stability and structural integrity for C-PC, and this combination effectively improves the functional and rheological properties. Further, the findings exposed the agar hydrocolloid as a potential enhancer of color retention and improved performance for various food and cosmetic products.

Use of Fluorescence Spectroscopy and Chemometrics to Visualise Fluoroquinolones Photodegradation Major Trends: A Confirmation Study with Mass Spectrometry. MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 28:molecules28020777. [PMID: 36677831 PMCID: PMC9864895 DOI: 10.3390/molecules28020777] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/21/2022] [Revised: 01/09/2023] [Accepted: 01/10/2023] [Indexed: 01/15/2023]
Abstract
In this work, we employed EEM-PARAFAC (fluorescence excitation-emission matrices-parallel factor analysis) as a low-cost tool to study the oxidation pathways of (fluoro)quinolones. Amounts of 12.5 μM of enrofloxacin (ENR), ciprofloxacin (CIP), ofloxacin (OFL), oxolinic acid (OA), and flumequine (FLU), as individual solutions, were irradiated under UVA light. A 5-component PARAFAC model was obtained, four of them related to the parent pollutants, named as ENR-like (including CIP), OFL-like, OA-like, and FLU-like, and an additional one related to photoproducts, called ENRox-like (with an emission red-shift with respect to the ENR-like component). Mass spectrometry was employed to correlate the five PARAFAC components with their plausible molecular structures. Results indicated that photoproducts presenting: (i) hydroxylation or alkyl cleavages exhibited fingerprints analogous to those of the parent pollutants; (ii) defluorination and hydroxylation emitted within the ENRox-like region; (iii) the aforementioned changes plus piperazine ring cleavage emitted within the OA-like region. Afterwards, the five antibiotics were mixed in a single solution (each at a concentration of 0.25 μM) in seawater, PARAFAC being also able to deconvolute the fingerprint of humic-like substances. This approach could be a potential game changer in the analysis of (fluorescent) contaminants of emerging concern removals in complex matrices, giving rapid visual insights into the degradation pathways.

EEM-PARAFAC as a convenient methodology to study fluorescent emerging pollutants degradation: (fluoro)quinolones oxidation in different water matrices.

Abstract
Commercial (fluoro)quinolones ((F)Qs), ciprofloxacin (CIP), enrofloxacin (ENR), ofloxacin (OFL), oxolinic acid (OA) and flumequine (FLU) (3 μM each), were degraded with solar-photo-Fenton in a compound parabolic concentrator photoreactor (total volume 5 L) in ultra-pure water at pH = 5.0, salty water at pH = 5.0, and simulated wastewater at pH = 5.0 and 7.5. Iron speciation (its hydrolysis and the complexation with (F)Qs 15 μM and/or chlorides 0.5 M) was calculated at pH 5.0, observing, negligible formation of Fe(III)-chloride complexes, and that >99 % of the total (F)Qs are forming complexes stoichiometry 1:1 with Fe(III) (which also increases the percentage of Fe(OH)2+), being minoritarian the free antibiotic form. On the other hand, EEM-PARAFAC (fluorescence excitation-emission matrices-parallel factor analysis) was employed to simultaneously study the behaviour of: i) 4 structure-related groups corresponding to parent pollutants and slightly oxidised by-products, ENR-like (including CIP), OFL-like, OA-like, FLU-like; ii) intermediates still showing (F)Q characteristics (exhibiting analogous fluorescent fingerprint to ENR-like one, but shifted to shorter wavelengths); iii) humic-like substances. The scores from the 4 PARAFAC components corresponding to the parent pollutants were plotted vs. accumulated energy, exhibiting slower decay than their individual removals (measured with HPLC-UV/vis) due to the contribution of the aforementioned by-products to the overall fluorescence. Moreover, thiabendazole (TBZ) 3 μM was added as fluorescence interference. The presence of (F)Qs greatly enhanced TBZ degradation due to (F)Q-Fe(III) complex formation, keeping iron active at pH = 5.0 for Fenton process. The EEM-PARAFAC model was able to recognise the former six components plus an additional one attributable to TBZ-like.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2022; 363:127938. [PMID: 36100186 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2022.127938] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/27/2022] [Revised: 09/04/2022] [Accepted: 09/06/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
The preparation cost is one of the major constraints for adsorbent applied to practical situations. Here, a novel, economical and eco-friendly ilmenite biochar composite (ILM-BC) was successfully prepared by co-cracking of natural ilmenite and corn stover for the removal ofloxacin from water. The adsorption experiments indicated that the removal ofloxacin by ILM-BC was chemisorption and belonged to a spontaneous and entropy-increasing heat absorption process. Among composites, ILM-BC5 had superior adsorption capacity and stability, with a removal rate 1.6 times higher than that of biochar, and it could remove more than 90% ofloxacin in the pH range of 2-10. Multiple characterization results indicated that the adsorption of ILM-BC was the result of the synergistic effect of pore filling, hydrogen bonding, and π-π interactions. The introduction of ilmenite promoted hydrogen bonding formation and π-π interactions by enriching -OH and -COO on the surface of ILM-BC, which could enhance the adsorption capacity of ILM-BC.

Response Surface Methodology for Optimization of Operational Parameters To Remove Ciprofloxacin from Contaminated Water in the Presence of a Bacterial Consortium. ACS OMEGA 2022; 7:27450-27457. [PMID: 35967055 PMCID: PMC9366949 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.2c02448] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/19/2022] [Accepted: 07/20/2022] [Indexed: 06/15/2023]
Abstract
Ciprofloxacin (CFX) is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is widely used to treat bacterial infections in humans and other animals. However, its unwanted occurrence in any (eco)system can affect nontarget bacterial communities, which may also impair the performance of the natural or artificially established bioremediation system. The problem could be minimized by optimization of operational parameters via modeling of multifactorial tests. To this end, we used a Box-Behnken design in response surface methodology (RSM) to generate the experimental layout for testing the effect of the CFX biodegradation for four important parameters, that is, temperature (°C), pH, inoculum size (v/v %), and CFX concentration (mg L-1). For inoculation, a consortium of three bacterial strains, namely, Acenitobacter lwofii ACRH76, Bacillus pumilus C2A1, and Mesorihizobium sp. HN3 was used to degrade 26 mg L-1 of CFX. We found maximum degradation of CFX (98.97%; initial concentration of 25 mg L-1) at 2% inoculum size, 7 pH, and 35 °C of temperature in 16 days. However, minimum degradation of CFX (48%; initial concentration of 50 mg L-1) was found at pH 6, temperature 30 °C, and inoculum size 1%. Among different tested parameters, pH appears to be the main limiting factor for CFX degradation. Independent factors attributed 89.37% of variation toward CFX degradation as revealed by the value of the determination coefficient, that is, R 2 = 0.8937. These results were used to formulate a mathematical model in which the computational data strongly correlated with the experimental results. This study showcases the importance of parameter optimization via RSM for any bioremediation studies particularly for antibiotics in an economical, harmless, and eco-friendly manner.
