Kim, S. H., Yun, Y., & An, S. (2018). A study on synergistic antibacterial activity of cosmetic ingredients. Journal of the Society of Cosmetic Scientists of Korea, 44(1), 1-7.

Abstract. In this study, 1,2-hexanediol, ethylhexylglycerin, and glyceryl caprylate known as skin conditioning agents with antimicrobial activity in cosmetics were investigated for their antimicrobial activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria when combining them with various ingredients in cosmetic formulations. 

Rupnar, Vinayak. "Session 6 9 September."   

Abstract. Are natural ingredients inherently better than synthetic ingredients?

Leng, L., Yang, P., Mao, Y., Wu, Z., Zhang, T., & Lee, P. H. (2017). Thermodynamic and physiological study of caproate and 1, 3-propanediol co-production through glycerol fermentation and fatty acids chain elongation. Water research, 114, 200-209.

Abstract. In the current approach, an industrial chemical, 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) is produced from crude glycerol along with a formation of other soluble byproducts including ethanol and volatile fatty acids (VFAs), which necessitates a significant amount of energy input for separation and purification. 

Deng, Y., Sun, J., Duan, C., Lin, Z., LI, D., Ren, Y., & Feng, G. (2018). Study on the Optimization of Synthesis Technology of 4-biphenylacetic Acid. China Pharmacy, 2768-2772.

Abstract. To optimize the synthesis technology of 4-biphenylacetic acid,and to provide technology support to meet the market demand of 4-biphenylacetic acid raw material.

Zorębski, E., Musiał, M., & Dzida, M. (2019). Relation between temperature–pressure dependence of internal pressure and intermolecular interactions in ionic liquids–Comparison with molecular liquids. The Journal of Chemical Thermodynamics, 131, 347-359.

Abstract. The effect of alkyl chain length in cation, temperature and pressure on internal pressure was discussed for aprotic ionic liquids characterized by different hydrogen bonding ability resulting from the structure of the cation (disubstituted imidazolium, trisubstituted imidazolium, pyrrolidinium), and from the structure of the anion (tricyanomethanide, thiocyanate, ethyl sulfate, diethyl phosphate, acetate, bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide).

Leng, L., Nobu, M. K., Narihiro, T., Yang, P., Tan, G. Y. A., & Lee, P. H. (2019). Shaping microbial consortia in coupling glycerol fermentation and carboxylate chain elongation for co-production of 1, 3-propanediol and caproate: pathways and mechanisms. Water research, 148, 281-291.

Abstract. Glycerol is presently being generated in surplus with the rapid growth of the biodiesel industry and seeks ways to be upcycled, rather than to be treated with costs. Glycerol for the co-production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) and caproate has a great prospect. Yet, its technical difficulty lies in the enhancement of caproate productivity, which requires the presence of ethanol as a co-substrate and necessitates the co-existence of functional microbes for glycerol fermentation and chain elongation.

Zhang, Q., Sun, Q., Tan, X., Zhang, S., Zeng, L., Tang, J., & Xiang, W. (2020). Characterization of γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA)-producing Saccharomyces cerevisiae and coculture with Lactobacillus plantarum for mulberry beverage brewing. Journal of bioscience and bioengineering, 129(4), 447-453.

Abstract. One elite γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) producing strain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae SC125 was isolated and identified from Chinese traditional paocai. S. cerevisiae SC125 and Lactobacillus plantarum BC114 were used as cooperative species to ferment mulberry (Morus alba L.) and produce a novel beverage enriched with GABA.
