Abstract
Hemicelluloses are an abundant biopolymer resource with interesting properties for applications in coatings and composite materials. The objective of this investigation was to identify variables of industrially relevant extraction processes that increase the purity of hemicelluloses extracted from fruit residues. Our main finding is that extraction with subcritical water, followed by precipitation with alcohol, can be adjusted to yield products with a purity of at least 90%. Purity was determined based on the total concentration of glucose, galactose, xylose, arabinose, and mannose after hydrolysis with sulfuric acid. In the first experimental design (DoE methodology), the effects of extraction temperature (95-155 °C) and time (20-100 min) on yield and purity were studied. A clear trade-off between yield and purity was observed at high temperatures, indicating the selective removal of impurities. In the second experimental design, the influence of extract pH and alcohol concentration on yield and purity was investigated for the raw extract and a concentrate of this extract with 1/6 of the original volume. The concentrate was obtained by ultrafiltration through ceramic hollow-fiber membranes. The highest purity of 96% was achieved with the concentrate after precipitating with 70% alcohol. Key factors for the resource efficiency of the overall process are addressed. It is concluded that extraction with subcritical water and ultrafiltration are promising technologies for producing hemicelluloses from fruit residues for material applications.

Abstract
Developing microstructure and multifunctional membranes toward switchable oil-water separation has been highly desired in oily wastewater treatment. Herein, a controllable Janus nozzle was employed to innovatively electrospin natural loofah/poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) nanofibers with a core-shell structure for gravity-driven water purification. By adjusting flow rates of the PVDF component, a core-shell structure of the composite fibers was obtained caused by the lower viscosity and surface tension of PVDF. In addition, a steady laminar motion of fluids was constructed based on the Reynolds number of flow fields being less than 2300. In order to investigate the formation mechanism of the microstructure, a series of Janus nozzles with different lengths were controlled to study the blending of the two immiscible components. The gravity difference between the two components might cause disturbance of the jet motion, and the PVDF component unidirectionally encapsulated the loofah to form the shell layer. Most importantly, the dry loofah/PVDF membranes could separate oil from an oil-water mixture, while the water-wetted membrane exhibited switchable separation that could separate water from the mixtures because of the hydroxyl groups of the hydrophilic loofah hydrogen-bonding with water molecules and forming a hydration layer. The composite fibers can be applied in water remediation in practice, and the method to produce core-shell structures seems attractive for technological applications involving macroscopic core-shell nano- or microfibers.

Abstract
Bio-based composite films were produced by incorporating wood autohydrolysate (WH), chitosan (CS), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC). In this work, WH was directly utilized without further purification, and CNC was introduced as the reinforced material to prepare WH-CS-CNC composite films with excellent properties. The effects of CNC on the properties of WH-CS-CNC composite films were investigated by characterizing their structures, mechanical properties, oxygen barrier, and thermal stability properties. The results suggested that CNC could improve tensile strength of the composite films, and the tensile strain at break could be up to 4.7%. Besides, the oxygen permeability of the prepared composite films could be as low as 3.57 cm3/day·m2·kPa, making them suitable for the food packaging materials. These above results showed that the addition of CNC is an effective method to enhance the toughness of composite films. In addition, WH-CS-CNC composite films have great potential in the field of sustainable food packing materials.

Abstract
In this study, the pre-hydrolysis liquor (PHL) was recycled during aspen chip water pre-hydrolysis, and the effects of PHL recycling on the extraction and accumulation of the hemicellulosic saccharides especially that with high molecular weight in the PHL were studied. The results showed that the concentration of hemicellulose saccharides in PHL depended on the pre-hydrolysis temperature and PHL recycling times. Compared to the unrecycled PHL, the concentration of hemicellulosic saccharides in PHL increased significantly when recycling PHL once or twice at 170°C. Furthermore, the amount of high-molecular-weight hemicelluloses (HMHs) in PHL recycled once at 170°C increased from 2.58g/L (unrecycled) to 6.18g/L, but the corresponding average molecular weight of HMHs decreased from 9.2kDa to 7.6kDa. The concentration of hemicellulosic saccharides in PHL decreased with PHL recycling time at 180°C, accompanied by the formation of a significant amount of furfural.

Abstract
Chemical cross-linking during spray drying offers the potential for green fabrication of microgels with a rapid stimuli response and good blood compatibility and provides a platform for stimuli-responsive hemicellulose microgels (SRHMGs). The cross-linking reaction occurs rapidly in situ at elevated temperature during spray drying, enabling the production of microgels in a large scale within a few minutes. The SRHMGs with an average size range of ∼ 1-4 μm contain O-acetyl-galactoglucomannan as a matrix and poly(acrylic acid), aniline pentamer (AP), and iron as functional additives, which are responsive to external changes in pH, electrochemical stimuli, magnetic field, or dual-stimuli. The surface morphologies, chemical compositions, charge, pH, and mechanical properties of these smart microgels were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, IR, zeta potential measurements, pH evaluation, and quantitative nanomechanical mapping, respectively. Different oxidation states were observed when AP was introduced, as confirmed by UV spectroscopy and cyclic voltammetry. Systematic blood compatibility evaluations revealed that the SRHMGs have good blood compatibility. This bottom-up strategy to synthesize SRHMGs enables a new route to the production of smart microgels for biomedical applications.
