Abstract
Among biopolymer-based adsorbents, composites in the form of beads have shown promising results in terms of high adsorption capacity and ease of separation from the effluents. This review addresses the potential of biopolymer-based beads to remediate wastewaters polluted with emerging organic contaminants, for instance dyes, active pharmaceutical ingredients, pesticides, phenols, oils, polyaromatic hydrocarbons, and polychlorinated biphenyls. High adsorption capacities up to 2541.76 mg g-1 for dyes, 392 mg g-1 for pesticides and phenols, 1890.3 mg g-1 for pharmaceuticals, and 537 g g-1 for oils and organic solvents have been reported. The review also attempted to convey to its readers the significance of wastewater treatment through adsorption by providing an overview on decontamination technologies of organic water contaminants. Various preparation methods of biopolymer-based gel beads and adsorption mechanisms involved in the process of decontamination have been summarized and analyzed. Therefore, we believe there is an urge to discuss the current state of the application of biopolymer-based gel beads for the adsorption of organic pollutants from wastewater and future perspectives in this regard since it is imperative to treat wastewater before releasing into freshwater bodies.

Abstract
Poor storage stability limits the application of liquid diabetes formula food for special medical purposes (L-D-FSMP) in maintaining blood sugar stability in diabetic patients. This work aims to improve the stability of L-D-FSMP by adjusting the ratio of xanthan gum (XG) and carrageenan (CG) in casein (CA)-XG-CG ternary complex. The centrifugal sedimentation rate results showed that the compound ratio of XG and CG had a greater impact on L-D-FSMP storage stability. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) results showed that the combination of CA, XG and CG occurred. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) results showed that CA, XG and CG were mainly combined through hydrogen bonds and ionic bonds to form a CA-XG-CG ternary complex. When the ratio of XG and CG was 1:1, the number of disulfide bonds was the largest. The results of three-phase contact angle and emulsifying ability confirmed that when the ratio of XG and CG was 1:1, CA-XG-CG had the strongest emulsifying ability. The particle size distribution and zeta-potential results showed that when the ratio of XG and CG was 1:1, L-D-FSMP had the narrowest particle size distribution range and the strongest stability. These results may provide valuable information for the production of stable L-D-FSMP.

Abstract
The use of processed limestone sludge as a crosslinking agent for films based on Na-alginate and ɩ-carrageenan/Na-alginate blends was studied. Sorbitol was tested as a plasticizer. The produced gel formulations included alginate/sorbitol and carrageenan/alginate/sorbitol mixtures, with tested sorbitol concentrations of 0.0, 0.5 and 1.0 wt%. The limestone sludge waste obtained from the processing of quarried limestone was converted into an aqueous solution of Ca2+ by dissolution with mineral acid. This solution was then diluted in water and used to induce gel crosslinking. The necessity of using sorbitol as a component of the crosslinking solution was also assessed. The resulting films were characterized regarding their dimensional stability, microstructure, chemical structure, mechanical performance and antifungal properties. Alginate/sorbitol films displayed poor dimensional stability and were deemed not viable. Carrageenan/alginate/sorbitol films exhibited higher dimensional stability and smooth and flat surfaces, especially in compositions with 0.5 wt% sorbitol. However, an increasing amount of plasticizer appears to result in severe surface cracking, the development of a segregation phenomenon affecting carrageenan and an overall decrease in films' mechanical resistance. Although further studies regarding film composition-including plasticizer fraction, film optimal thickness and film/mold material interaction-are mandatory, the attained results show the potential of the reported ɩ-carrageenan/alginate/sorbitol films to be used towards the development of viable films derived from algal polysaccharides.

Abstract
Despite remarkable progress in medical sciences, modern man is still fighting the battle against cancer. In 2022, only in the USA, 640 000 deaths and 2 370 000 patients were reported because of cancer. Chemotherapy is the most widely used for cancer treatments. However, chemotherapeutics have severe physicochemical side effects. Therefore, we have prepared poly(amididoamine) dendrimeric carrageenan (CG), sodium alginate (SA) and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) hydrogels by using solution casting methodology. The constituents of hydrogels were cross-linked by mutable quantity of 3-aminopropyl(diethoxy)methyl silane (APDMS). Hydrogels were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, scanning electron microscope and atomic force microscopy. Hydrogels exhibited higher swelling volumes in 5-7 pH range. In vitro biodegradation in ribonuclease-A solution and cytocompatibility analysis against DF-1 fibroblasts established their biodegradable and non-toxic nature, which enables them as a suitable carrier for chemotherapeutic compounds. Hence, methotrexate (MTX) as a model drug was loaded on CAP-8 hydrogel and its release was detected by the UV-visible spectrophotometer in phosphate-buffered saline (PBS) solution. In 13.5 h, 81.25% and 77.23% of MTX were released at pH 7.4 (blood pH) and 5.3 (tumour pH) in PBS, respectively. MTX was released by super case II mechanism and best fitted to zero-order and Korsmeyer-Peppas model. The synthesized APDMS cross-linked CG/SA/PVA dendrimeric hydrogels could be an efficient model platform for the effective delivery of MTX in cancer treatments.

Abstract
A core-shell hydrogel bead system was designed to maintain the catalytic activity of phytase and protect its enzymatic functionality from heat treatment. The designed structure consists of a chitosan-phytase complex core and an alginate-carrageenan hydrogel shell. The core-shell hydrogel was optimized to improve phytase encapsulation efficiency and increase the thermal stability of the encapsulated phytase. After heat treatment, encapsulated phytase retained ∼ 70 % of its catalytic activity and the same secondary structure of free phytase. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy indicated strong intermolecular interactions between chitosan and phytase in the core, but little interaction between the core and the alginate and κ-carrageenan shell, this supports the structural and functional stability of the phytase. Differential scanning calorimetry confirmed that the designed core-shell structure had a higher melting point. Encapsulating phytase in a core-shell hydrogel bead can enhance the thermal stability of phytase, which broadens the potential applications for phytase delivery.

Abstract
In this contribution, a bio-nanocomposite hydrogel film (CS/XG.SiO2) of chitosan/silica NPs-modified xanthan gum was prepared via a facile solution casting blending approach and utilized to capture the anionic methyl orange (MO) from aqueous solution. A Taguchi standard method was used to optimize the hydrogel nanocomposite synthesis reaction conditions after comprehensive characterization using various techniques. Under various operating parameters, the hydrogel biofilm was tested for its effectiveness in adsorbing MO dye in a batch process. In agreement with Langmuir isotherm, the CS/XG.SiO2 biofilm was capable of adsorbing MO at a maximum capacity of 294 mg/g at pH 5.30, contact time 45 min, temperature 25 °C, and concentration (C0) 50 mg/L. Pseudo-second-order model and adsorption kinetics data well matched. The thermodynamic data indicate that adsorption occurred spontaneously and exothermically. The main mechanisms driving the adsorption are electrostatic interactions and hydrogen bonding between the CS/XG.SiO2 nanocomposite and the dye. Furthermore, the biofilm is regenerative, allowing for up to five reuses while maintaining a 75 % dye removal efficiency. This study highlights that the CS/XG.SiO2 hydrogel nanocomposite is an inexpensive, reusable, and eco-friendly bio-adsorbent that is capable of anionic dye adsorption.

Abstract
This research aimed to evaluate the encapsulation of the probiotic strain, Streptococcus thermophilus, in hydrogels employing sodium alginate (SA) with κ-carrageenan (κC) in gelation baths with varying salt concentrations (CaCl2 and KCl) followed by freeze-drying. The experimentation was conducted at varying levels of κC (0-0.5 % w/v) and SA (2-4 %). Freeze-dried hydrogels were evaluated based on encapsulation efficiency and loss of viability and further characterised. The study could successfully establish an encapsulation efficiency of 87.814 % and a viability loss of 1.201 log CFU·g-1 for the optimised samples. The SEM micrographs of the optimised Ca-alginate/κC hydrogels exhibited a much denser network with fewer pores. The influence of SA/κC in the beads was confirmed by FTIR and DSC, where distinct peak shifts were observed, which indicated the presence of κC and SA polymers. The probiotic survival under simulated gastrointestinal tract (GIT) conditions, performed in accordance with the INFOGEST protocol, indicated that the optimised Ca-alginate/κC beads had a lower rate of release in the gastric phase and a much higher rate of survival and release in the intestinal phase than the control sample. The swelling behaviour of beads varied due to varying pH in both gastric and intestinal phases, and the κC in the optimised beads affected the swelling ratio significantly.

Abstract
This work reports the development of a marine-derived polysaccharide formulation based on k-Carrageenan and sodium alginate in order to produce a novel scaffold for engineering applications. The viscoelastic properties of the bicomponent inks were assessed via rheological tests prior to 3D printing. Compositions with different weight ratios between the two polymers, without any crosslinker, were subjected to 3D printing for the first time, to the best of our knowledge, and the fabrication parameters were optimized to ensure a controlled architecture. Crosslinking of the 3D-printed scaffolds was performed in the presence of a chloride mixture (CaCl2:KCl = 1:1; v/v) of different concentrations. The efficiency of the crosslinking protocol was evaluated in terms of swelling behavior and mechanical properties. The swelling behavior indicated a decrease in the swelling degree when the concentration of the crosslinking agent was increased. These results are consistent with the nanoindentation measurements and the results of the macro-scale tests. Moreover, morphology analysis was also used to determine the pore size of the samples upon freeze-drying and the uniformity and micro-architectural characteristics of the scaffolds. Overall, the registered results indicated that the bicomponent ink, Alg/kCG = 1:1 may exhibit potential for tissue-engineering applications.

Abstract
The current study effectively designed novel cross-linked tosyl-carrageenan/alginate (Ts-Car/Alg) beads to remove Pb2+ ions from their aqueous solutions. To confirm the structure of the produced matrix, characterization methods such as XRD, SEM, FTIR, and EDX were used. Batch experiments were employed in order to further evaluate the adsorption efficiency of Pb2+ ions. Additionally, various variables, including contact time, solution pH, adsorbent dosage, and initial concentration of Pb2+ ions were investigated using atomic absorption. The results of this study showed that the adsorption equilibrium increased as Pb2+ ions concentration increased at pH = 5.3 after a contact time of 120 min, with 0.3 g of Ts-Car/Alg that having the best adsorption capacity at 74 mg/g. The adsorption progression was further examined using the kinetic and isothermal models. With a correlation coefficient of 0.975, the Freundlich model was thought to better fit Pb2+ ions adsorption from the isotherm investigation. Also, the adsorption kinetics were investigated using a pseudo-second-order model with 1/n ratio of 0.683. This Ts-Car/Alg adsorbent is regarded as an effective candidate to be used for water treatment because the reusability process of produced beads was successfully completed twice, and the adsorbent maintained its ability to remove Pb2+ ions. The prepared Ts-Car/Alg beads are therefore excellent candidates to be used as potent Pb2+ ions adsorbents from their aqueous solutions. The Ts-Car/Alg beads' regeneration and reusability investigation for the removal of heavy metal ions was completed in at least two successful cycles.

Abstract
The discharge of dye wastewater resulting from rapid industrial development has become a serious environmental concern. Therefore, there is a pressing need to develop efficient methods and technologies for the removal of dye pollutants. This study introduced a double network hydrogel, with varying carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) contents and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), employing a combination of freeze- thawing and calcium chloride cross-linking. The investigation focused on the rheological properties of the hydrogels and their removal ability of acidic blue 93 (AB). The results showed that the strength and viscoelastic modulus of composite hydrogels were positively correlated with the CMCS content, and all composite hydrogels exhibited the typical weak strain overshoot behavior. The pore size of the gel initially decreased and then increased, with the densest pores observed at 4 wt% CMCS, showing the optimal removal ability for AB. The adsorption process followed pseudo second-order kinetic model, dominated by external diffusion, and exhibited inhomogeneous multilayer adsorption. This study unveils the potential of CMCS/PVA gels as adsorbents, offering inspirations for the design and development of polyvinyl alcohol-based gels for applications in the food industry.

Abstract
Water pollution is regarded as a dangerous problem that needs to be resolved right away. This is largely due to the positive correlation between the increase in global population and waste production, especially food waste. Hydrogel beads based on sodium alginate (Alg) and pomegranate fruit peels (PP) were developed for the adsorption of Safranin O dye (SO) in aqueous solutions. The obtained Alg-PP beads were widely characterized. The effects of the contact time (0-180 min), initial concentration (10-300 mg/L), initial pH (2-10), adsorbent dosage (1-40 g/L) and the temperature (293-333 K) were investigated through batch tests. The data proved that the adsorption kinetics of SO reached equilibrium within 30 min and up to 180 min. The dye adsorption is concentration dependent while a slight effect of pH was observed. The adsorption data of SO onto synthesized beads follow the pseudo second-order model. The experimental data fitted very well to Langmuir model with correlation factor of 0.92 which demonstrated the favourable nature of adsorption. The maximum adsorption capacity of Alg-PP could reach 30.769 mg/g at 293 K. Calculation of Gibbs free energy and enthalpy indicated that adsorption of SO onto Alg-PP is spontaneous (negative ΔG) and endothermic (ΔH = 9.30 kJ/mol). Analysis of diffusion and mass transport phenomena were presented. The removal efficiency was found to be 88% at the first cycle and decreased to 71% at the end of the seventh cycle. The reported results revealed that the Alg-PP beads could be used as a novel natural adsorbent for the removal of high concentrated solutions of Safranin O which is a cationic dye from liquid affluents and as future perspective, it can be used to remove various pollutants from wastewater.

Abstract
The factors were studied that affect the formation of DN hydrogel, which was prepared using a water-based, environmental-friendly system. The DN hydrogel was designed and prepared based on a cross-linked, polysaccharide-based, polymer carboxymethyl chitosan (CMCS) via an ionic crosslinking reaction for the first network structure. UV irradiation created a radical crosslinking reaction of poly(ethylene glycol) from a double bond at the chain end for the second network structure. It was found that the optimum hydrogel was produced using 9.5 %v/v of 1000PEGGMA, CMCS 5%w/v, and CaCl2 3%w/v. The results showed the highest percentage of the gel fraction was 87.84 % and the hydrogel was stable based on its rheological properties. Factors affecting the hydrogel formation were the concentration and molecular weight of PEGGMA and the concentrations of CMCS and calcium chloride (CaCl2). The DN hydrogel had bioactivity due to its octacalcium phosphate (OCP) hydroxyapatite crystal form. In addition, the composite DN scaffold with a conductive polymer of chitosan-grafted-polyaniline (CS-g-PANI) had conduction of 2.33 × 10-5 S/cm when the concentration of CS-g-PANI was 3 mg/ml, confirming the semi-conductive nature of the material. All the results indicated that DN hydrogel could be a candidate to apply in tissue-engineering applications.

Abstract
The purple basil leaf extract (PBLE) was encapsulated in double emulsion (W1/O/W2)-loaded beads (emulgel) by electrospraying. The influence of κ-carrageenan (κ-CG) and cross-linking agents (Ca2+/K+) on the properties of alginate (SA) beads were assessed. In emulgel beads, κ-CG inclusion resulted in larger sizes and more distorted shapes, wrinkles on the surface, and lower gel strength. The encapsulation efficiency of anthocyanins (ACNs) in emulgel beads ranged from 70.73 to 87.89 %, whereas it ranged from 13.50 to 20.67 % in emulsion-free (hydrogel) beads. Fourier transforms infrared (FTIR) revealed the crosslinking of SA and κ-CG with Ca2+ and K+, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), derivative thermogravimetric (DTG), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms showed emulgel beads yielded higher thermal stability. The emulgel beads elevated the in vitro bioaccessibility of ACNs under simulated digestion. At the gastric phase, 86 % of ACNs in PBLE, and 46 % of loaded ACNs in hydrogel beads were released, whereas no release was occurred in emulgel beads. At the intestinal phase, after 150 min of digestion, no ACNs were detected in PBLE and hydrogel beads, whereas all emulgel beads continued to release ACNs until 300 min. The incorporation of double emulsions in hydrogel beads can be utilized in the development of functional foods.

Abstract
Hydrogels with tailor-made swelling-shrinkable properties have aroused considerable interest in numerous biomedical domains. For example, as swelling is a key issue for blood and wound extrudates absorption, the transference of nutrients and metabolites, as well as drug diffusion and release, hydrogels with high swelling capacity have been widely applicated in full-thickness skin wound healing and tissue regeneration, and drug delivery. Nevertheless, in the fields of tissue adhesives and internal soft-tissue wound healing, and bioelectronics, non-swelling hydrogels play very important functions owing to their stable macroscopic dimension and physical performance in physiological environment. Moreover, the negative swelling behavior (i.e., shrinkage) of hydrogels can be exploited to drive noninvasive wound closure, and achieve resolution enhancement of hydrogel scaffolds. In addition, it can help push out the entrapped drugs, thus promote drug release. However, there still has not been a general review of the constructions and biomedical applications of hydrogels from the viewpoint of swelling-shrinkable properties. Therefore, this review summarizes the tactics employed so far in tailoring the swelling-shrinkable properties of hydrogels and their biomedical applications. And a relatively comprehensive understanding of the current progress and future challenge of the hydrogels with different swelling-shrinkable features is provided for potential clinical translations.

Abstract
Supramolecular hydrogels self-assembled from naturally occurring small molecules (e.g., glycyrrhizic acid, GA) are promising materials for controlled bioactive delivery due to their facile fabrication processes, excellent biocompatibility, and versatile stimuli-responsive behaviors. However, most of these natural hydrogels suffer from poor mechanical strength and processability for practical applications. In this work, through adopting a multicomponent gel approach, we developed a novel mechanically robust GA-based hydrogel with an interpenetrating double network (DN) that is composed of a Ca2+-enhanced hydrogen-bond supramolecular GA nanofibril (GN) network and a Ca2+cross-linked natural polysaccharide sodium alginate (ALG) network. Compared to the single GN network (SN) hydrogel, the GN-ALG hybrid hydrogels (GN-ALG-DN) with the hierarchical double-network structure possess excellent mechanical properties and shaping adaptation, encouraging small and large amplitude oscillatory shear (SAOS and LAOS) rheological performances, better thermal stability, higher resistance to large compression deformations, and lower swelling behaviors. Furthermore, the GN-ALG-DN hydrogels exhibit a pH-responsive and sustained release behavior of nutrients (i.e., vitamin B12, VB12), showing a faster VB12 release rate with a higher swelling ratio in an alkaline condition (pH 7.5) than in an acidic condition (pH 2.5). This is ascribed to the fact that the higher dissociation degree of carboxylic groups in GA and ALG molecules in an alkaline environment induces the erosion and looseness of the self-assembled GN network and the ionic-cross-linked ALG network, which can lead to the decomposition of the hybrid hydrogels and thereby increases the release of nutrients. Cytotoxicity tests further demonstrate the excellent biocompatibility of the GN-ALG-DN hydrogels. This study highlights the design of robust shaped and structured supramolecular hydrogels from natural herb small molecules, which can serve as solid, edible, and stimuli-responsive active cargo delivery platforms for food, biomedical, and sustainable applications.

Abstract
This work describes the preparation of new eco-friendly adsorbents with a simple method. Gel beads of coffee grounds cellulose (CGC) and sodium alginate (SA) were prepared for wastewater treatment. Upon their synthesis, the physicochemical properties, performances and efficiency were analyzed by means of various structural and morphological characterizations. Kinetic and thermodynamic adsorption approaches evaluated the removal capacity of these beads which reached equilibrium in 20 min for Methylene Blue (MB) and Congo Red (CR). Also, the kinetics shows that the results can be explained by the pseudo-second-order model (PSO). Furthermore, the isotherm assessments showed that Langmuir-Freundlich can fit the adsorption data of both contaminants. Accordingly, the maximum adsorption capacities reached by the Langmuir-Freundlich model are 400.50 and 411.45 mg/g for MB and CR, respectively. It is interesting to note that the bio-adsorption capabilities of MB and CR on bead hydrogels decreased with temperature. Besides, the results of the thermodynamic study evidenced that the bio-adsorption processes are favorable, spontaneous and exothermic. The CGC/SA gel beads are therefore outstanding bio-adsorbents, offering a great adsorptive performance and regenerative abilities.

Abstract
Water pollution is a dreadful affair that has incessantly aggravated, exposing our planet to danger. In particular, the persistent nitro aromatic compound like nitrophenols causes anxiety to the researchers due to their hazardous impacts, excessive usage, and removal difficulty. For this purpose, a novel multi-featured composite was constructed based on κ-Carrageenan (κ-Carr), MOF (MIL-125(Ti)), and magnetic Fe3O4 for efficient adsorptive removal of o-nitrophenol (o-NP). Interestingly, BET measurements revealed the high surface area of Fe3O4-κ-Carr/MIL-125(Ti) of about 163.27 m2/g, while VSM showed its excellent magnetic property (20.34 emu/g). The comparison study pointed out the synergistic effect between Fe3O4, κ-Carr, and MIL-125(Ti), forming a composite with an excellent adsorption performance toward o-NP. The adsorption data obeyed pseudo-second-order kinetic model, and Freundlich isotherm model was better fitted than Langmuir and Temkin. Furthermore, Langmuir verified the supreme adsorption capacity of o-NP onto Fe3O4-κ-Carr/MIL-125(Ti) since the computed qmax reached 320.26 mg/g at pH 6 and 25 °C. Furthermore, the XPS results postulated that the adsorption mechanism pf o-NP proceeded via H-bonding, π-π interaction, and electron donor-acceptor interactions. Interestingly, Fe3O4-κ-Carr/MIL-125(Ti) composite retained good adsorption characteristics after reusing for five cycles, suggesting its viable applicability as an efficient, renewable, and easy-separable adsorbent for removing nitro aromatic pollutants.

Abstract
The mitigation of wastewater exploiting biopolymers/natural gums-based composites is an appealing research theme in today's scenario. The following review presents a comprehensive description of the polysaccharides derived from biopolymers (chitosan, collagen, cellulose, starch, pectin, lignin, and alginate) and natural gums (guar, gellan, carrageenan, karaya, moringa oliefera, tragacanth, and xanthan gum). These biopolymers/natural gums-based composites depicted excellent surface functionality, non-toxicity, economic and environmental viability, which corroborated them as potential candidates in the decontamination process. The presence of -OH, -COOH, and -NH functional groups in their backbone rendered them tailorable for modification/functionalization, and anchor an array of pollutants via electrostatic interaction, hydrogen bonding, and Van der Waals forces. Further, due to these functional moieties, these bio-based composites revealed an excellent adsorption capacity than conventional adsorbents. This review provides an overview of the classification of biopolymers/natural gums based on their origin, different ways of their modification, and the remediation of dye-contaminated aqueous environments employing diverse bio-based adsorbents. The isotherm, kinetic modelling along with thermodynamics of the adsorption process is discussed. Additionally, the reusable efficacy of these bio-adsorbents is reviewed.

Abstract
The objective of this research was to investigate the effect of ultrasonication on citronella oil encapsulation using alginate/carrageenan (Alg/Carr) in the presence of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). The functional groups of microparticles were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), and the beads’ morphologies were observed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The FTIR results showed that the ultrasonication process caused the C-H bonds (1426 cm−1) to break down, resulting in polymer degradation. The SEM results showed that the ultrasonication caused the presence of cavities or pores in the cracked wall and a decrease in the beads’ size. In this study, the use of ultrasound during the encapsulation of citronella oil in Alg/Carr enhanced the encapsulation efficiency up to 95–97%. The kinetic evaluation of the oil release of the beads treated with ultrasound (UTS) showed a higher k1 value of the Ritger–Peppas model than that without ultrasonication (non-UTS), indicating that the oil release rate from the beads was faster. The R/F value from the Peppas–Sahlin model of the beads treated with UTS was smaller than that of the non-UTS model, revealing that the release of bioactive compounds from the UTS-treated beads was diffusion-controlled rather than due to a relaxation mechanism. This study suggests the potential utilization of UTS for controlling the bioactive compound release rate.

Abstract
Hydrogel nanocomposites are attracting increasing attention in field of biology owing to their unique properties. The present work focuses on the fabrication and characterization of novel hydrogel nanocomposite systems in which silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are embedded in a carrageenan (κ-CGN)-sodium alginate (SA) hydrogel. The performance of the prepared κ-CGN-SA hydrogel and κ-CGN-SA/AgNPs hydrogel nanocomposite was determined by UV-visible spectroscopy, FTIR, XRD, SEM, EDX spectrum, EDX mapping, and TEM analysis. Surface plasmon resonance at 428 nm confirmed the presence of AgNPs in the κ-CGN-SA hydrogel. The results indicate that AgNPs with an average diameter of 30 nm were uniformly dispersed in the κ-CGN-SA hydrogel matrix. The amount of Ag+ ion release kinetic from the κ-CGN-SA hydrogel matrix is very low, showing that AgNPs were well trapped within the κ-CGN-SA/AgNPs hydrogel nanocomposite. The high antibacterial activity of the κ-CGN-SA/AgNPs hydrogel nanocomposite was found to be 89.6 ± 1.4% and 91.4 ± 2.3% against the gram-positive S. aureus and the gram-negative E. coli, respectively. Moreover, the κ-CGN-SA/AgNPs hydrogel nanocomposite showed good biocompatibility by the MTT test. The novel κ-CGN-SA/AgNPs hydrogel nanocomposite low cytotoxicity and antibacterial efficacy is proposed as a potential candidate for biomedical applications.

Abstract
The treatment of antibiotic wastewater pollution is imminent, the studies of double-network hydrogels as adsorbents have gradually increased, it is quite important to develop a non-toxic hydrogel with excellent properties as adsorbent. In this study, a graphene oxide modified κ-carrageenan/sodium alginate (GO-κ-car/SA) gel was prepared by calcium hardening. The addition of GO nanosheets enhances the mechanical strength and anti-swelling property of the double-network hydrogel, making it possible for the application in the fixed-bed column system. The elastic modulus is twice as much as the hydrogel without GO. The maximum adsorption capacity in the experiments of the GO-κ-car/SA gel for CIP and OFL can reach 272.18 mg g-1 and 197.39 mg g-1, respectively. The GO-κ-car/SA gel always remains negatively charged, which means that the adsorption capacity of the gel is better in an acidic environment. In the fixed-bed column system, through Thomas fitting, the maximum adsorption capacity of the simulated OFL wastewater (200 mg L-1) is 83.99 mg g-1. The adsorption mechanism of antibiotics by GO-κ-car/SA gel depends on hydrogen bond, functional groups and electrostatic adsorption. The good hydrophilic properties, excellent adsorption capacity and high mechanical strength, which can ensure that the adsorbent is in full contact with the contaminants without major deformation or damage, makes the study more helpful for the further study on hydrogel in the fixed-bed column system.

Abstract
Magnetic carbon were synthesized from sugarcane bagasse using hydrothermal carbonization followed by thermal activation was converted to solid state as beads (hydrogels SACFe) using sodium alginate and applied as adsorbent in removal sulfamethoxazole in batch and column mode. From adsorption parameter analysis it was confirmed that 0.6 g L-1 SACFe was effective in removing 50 mg L-1 of SMX at pH 6.2. Sorption of SMX on SACFe beads followed Elovich kinetics and Freundlich isotherm. It was further confirmed that sorption occurred on heterogeneous surface of SACFe beads with chemisorption as rate limiting step. Maximum adsorption capacity was obtained as 58.439 mg g-1 pH studies revealed that charged assisted hydrogen bonding, EDA interactions are some of the mechanism that favoured removal of SMX. From column studies it was found that bead height of 2 cm and flow rate of 1.5 mL min-1 found to be best in removing pollutant. Thomas model fitted better the experimental data stating that improved interaction between adsorbent and adsorbate act as major driving force tool in obtaining maximum sorption capacity. Breakthrough curve was completely affected by varied flow rate and bed height. Column adsorption was effective in reducing COD and BOD levels of sewage which are affected by toxic pollutants and miscellaneous compounds. Feasibility analysis showed that SACFe beads could be employed for real-time applications as it is cost, energy effective and easy recovery.

Abstract
Phages can be used successfully to treat pathogenic bacteria including zoonotic pathogens that colonize the intestines of animals and humans. However, low pH and digestive enzyme activity under harsh gastric conditions affect phage viability, thereby reducing their effectiveness. In this study, alginate (ALG)/κ-carrageenan (CG) microcapsules were developed to encapsulate and release phage under simulated gastrointestinal conditions. The effects of ALG and CG concentrations on the encapsulation and loading efficiency of microcapsules, as well as the release behavior and antibacterial effects of microcapsules in simulating human intestinal pH and temperature, were investigated. Based on various indicators, when the concentration of ALG and CG were 2.0 and 0.3%, respectively, the obtained microcapsules have high encapsulation efficiency, strong protection, and high release efficiency in simulated intestinal fluid. This effect is attributed to the formation of a more tightly packed biopolymer network within the composite microcapsules based on the measurements of their microstructure properties. Bead-encapsulation is a promising, reliable, and cost-effective method for the functional delivery of phage targeting intestinal bacteria.

Abstract
Herein, we report the synthesis and characterization of gelatin/κ-carrageenan crosslinked polyacrylic acid hydrogel (GT-CAG-cl-polyAA) and graphene oxide incorporated hydrogel nanocomposite (GOHNC) through a free radical crosslinking pathway. Under optimized reaction conditions, GT-CAG-cl-polyAA displayed 486 % maximum swelling percentage. TEM image depicted wrinkled silk veil wave-type surface morphology of graphene oxide (GO), whereas, the SEM analysis indicated the porous nature of the GT-CAG-cl-polyAA and GOHNC capable of accumulating a large number of water/dye molecules. GT-CAG-cl-polyAA exhibited 96.11 % and 82.16 % dye removal potential for the adsorption of methylene blue (MB) and coomassie brilliant blue (CB), respectively under optimized conditions. GOHNC enhanced the % dye removal efficiency (98.39 % for MB and 94.50 % for CB). The maximum adsorption capacity of GOHNC for the removal of CB and MB was 312.7 mg/g and 94.9 mg/g, respectively. The adsorption of CB and MB exhibited best fitting with Flory-Huggins adsorption isotherms data. The negative values of ΔG° and positive values of ΔS° which were obtained from the adsorption isotherm plot suggested the thermodynamic feasibility of the adsorption. Also, the samples were reusable for up to five consecutive cycles without any degradation and hence suggested a considerable pathway for the separation of textile dyes.

Abstract
Hydrogels are ideal for various food applications because of their softness, elasticity, absorbent nature, flexibility, and hygroscopic nature. Polysaccharide hydrogels are particularly suitable because of the hydrophilic nature, their food compatibility, and their non-immunogenic character. Such hydrogels offer a wide range of successful applications such as food preservation, pharmaceuticals, agriculture, and food packaging. Additionally, polysaccharide hydrogels have proven to play a significant role in the formulation of food flavor carrier systems, thus diversifying the horizons of newer developments in food processing sector. Polysaccharide hydrogels are comprised of natural polymers such as alginate, chitosan, starch, pectin and hyaluronic acid when crosslinked physically or chemically. Hydrogels with interchangeable, antimicrobial and barrier properties are referred to as smart hydrogels. This review brings together the recent and relevant polysaccharide research in these polysaccharide hydrogel applications areas and seeks to point the way forward for future research and interventions. Applications in carrying out the process of flavor carrier system directly through their incorporation in food matrices, broadening the domain for food application innovations. The classification and important features of polysaccharide-based hydrogels in food processing are the topics of the current review study.

Abstract
In this study, we investigate the ability of barium titanate/silver nanoparticles (BaTiO3/AgNPs) composites deposited on a fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO) glass using tape-casting method to produce piezoelectric thin film (FTO/BaTiO3/AgNPs) for piezocatalytic, photocatalytic, and piezo-photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue (MB) and ciprofloxacin (CIP) in wastewater. The prepared piezoelectric materials (BaTiO3 and BaTiO3/AgNPs) were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, UV-DRS, TGA, PL, BET, EIS, and chronoamperometry. The UV-DRS showed the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) of Ag nanoparticles on the surface of BaTiO3 at a wavelength of 505 nm. The TEM images revealed the average Ag nanoparticle size deposited on the surface of BaTiO3 to be in the range of 10-15 nm. The chronoamperometry showed that the photoreduction of silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) onto BaTiO3 (BTO) resulted in a piezo-electrochemical current enhancement from 0.24 to 0.38 mA. The composites (FTO/BaTiO3/AgNPs) achieved a higher degradation of MB and CIP when the photocatalysis and piezocatalysis processes were merged. Under both ultrasonic vibration and UV light exposure, FTO/BTO/AgNPs degraded about 72 and 98% of CIP and MB from wastewater, respectively. These piezoelectric thin films were shown to be efficient and reusable even after five cycles, suggesting that they are highly stable. Furthermore, the reactive oxygen species studies demonstrated that hydroxyl radicals (·OH) were the most effective species during degradation of MB, with minor superoxide radicals (·O2 -) and holes (h+). From this study, we were able to show that these materials can be used as multifunctional materials as they were able to degrade both the dye and pharmaceutical pollutants. Moreover, they were more efficient through the piezo-photocatalytic process.

Abstract
The swelling ability of kappa-carrageenan (KC) hydrogels was investigated in simulated body fluid (SBF). The SBF mimics the ionic concentrations in the vasa deferentia of human males. The study clarifies if these hydrogels can be adjusted to occlude the vasa deferentia by swelling. For this purpose, swelling to twice the initial volume is desirable. In this study, hydrogels of different primary potassium concentrations, biopolymer concentrations and ethanol-exchanged gels, were immersed in SBF either directly or after drying (pre-dried). We measured the absolute and relative swelling degree, and the swelling rates of the gels. Extensive pre-drying leads to irreversible gel densification and absolute swelling magnitudes decrease. We found that immersion into the SBF also leads to potassium ion accumulation, and network restructuring in the hydrogels. This markedly increases the storage moduli of the gel networks. The ion content in the gel structures also directly affects the swelling speed, the fastest swelling occurred in ethanol-exchanged and pre-dried gels. We found that by pre-drying and potassium content adjustment, swelling of the hydrogels is sufficient to render KC hydrogels as a possible candidate for the occlusion of the vasa deferentia.

Abstract
Agarose/fish gelatin (AR/FGA) double-network hydrogels (DNs) were fabricated via a one-step heating-cooling method. The structure, mechanical and textural properties, water-holding capacity, swelling behavior and sensory characteristics of the DNs were analyzed and compared with the corresponding single-network hydrogels (SNs) and beef tendons. An increase in FGA concentration (10-40 wt%) significantly enhanced the mechanical strength and toughness of DNs, while a moderate increase in AR concentration (0.5-1.5 wt%) only improved their mechanical strength. The 1.5 wt% AR/40 wt% FGA DNs attained excellent fracture stress and strain compared with the single AR and single FGA gels. This can be attributed to the energy dissipation effect, intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions and higher entanglement density of molecule chains. Furthermore, AR/FGA DNs attained a higher hardness, water holding capacity and lower swelling rate compared with SNs. The principal component analysis and correlation analysis showed that the 1.5 wt% AR/30 wt% FGA DNs displayed the most comparable correlation with beef tendons, which was consistent with the results of the sensory evaluation, showing great potential as artificial beef tendons. Our findings provide guidance for the modulation of gel properties and development of artificial foods.

Abstract
This study reviews the recent advances and innovations in the application of additives to improve biomethane and biohydrogen production. Biochar, nanostructured materials, novel biopolymers, zeolites, and clays are described in terms of chemical composition, properties and impact on anaerobic digestion, dark fermentation, and photofermentation. These additives can have both a simple physical effect of microbial adhesion and growth, and a more complex biochemical impact on the regulation of key parameters for CH4 and H2 production: in this study, these effects in different experimental conditions are reviewed and described. The considered parameters include pH, volatile fatty acids (VFA), C:N ratio, and NH3; additionally, the global impact on the total production yield of biogas and bioH2 is reviewed. A special focus is given to NH3, due to its strong inhibition effect towards methanogens, and its contribution to digestate quality, leaching, and emissions into the atmosphere.

Abstract
Rapid industrial development is associated with high discharge of toxic pollutants into the environment. The industries discharge their wastewater containing organic pollutants directly into the water system without treating them that has posed many serious threats to environmental protection. The use of bioadsorbents for the removal of such toxic pollutants from the waste water due to its simple synthesis, easy operation, effectiveness, and economic viability have emerged a new dimension in the wastewater treatment approaches. Various adsorbents have been prepared to examine their adsorption capacity against different adsorbates, but, to attain sustainability, biocompatibility, and biodegradation, bio-adsorbents have been found to won the battle. Seaweed derived polysaccharide; Carrageenan (CR) has been proven to be an excellent adsorbent for the wastewater treatment. It has been successfully modified with various components to form CR based-magnetic composites, hydrogels, nanoparticle modified CR composites and many others to enrich and diversify its properties. In this review, we have explained the adsorption behaviour of various carrageenan based adsorbents for the removal of different dyes. The influence of various parameters such as the effect of initial concentration, adsorbent dosage, contact time, pH, temperature, and ion concentration on dye adsorption is well explained. This paper also summarizes the structure, morphology, swelling ability, and thermal stability of carrageenan. The data also expounds on the adsorption capacity, kinetic model, isotherm model, and nature of the adsorption process. Different types of solvents are used for the regeneration and reusability of carrageenan adsorbents and their regeneration studies and desorption efficiency is well-explained. The adsorption mechanism of dyes onto carrageenan based adsorbents has been well described in this review. This review provides a deep insight about the use of carrageenan based adsorbents for the wastewater treatment.

Abstract
This study concerns the preparation of novel adsorbent prepared from calcium alginate bead modified with polyethyleneimine (PEI-CaAlg). The adsorption capacity of the PEI-CaAlg was examined by Remazol Brilliant Blue R (RBBR) and phosphate adsorption. PEI-CaAlg showed high removal efficiencies for RBBR (90.48%) and phosphate (88.10%). The removal of both RBBR and phosphate onto the PEI-CaAlg followed the Freundlich isotherm and the second-order model. The adsorption was studied in terms of thermodynamic and found to be feasible and spontaneous in nature. The reusability of the modified alginate beads was also examined up to five cycles. The removal efficiency was 90.48% at the first cycle and decreased to 75.15% at the end of the fourth cycle. The adsorption of color and phosphate from real textile wastewater was also instigated. The removal efficiencies for color and phosphate ions reached 80.24% and 90.00%, respectively. Therefore, the prepared PEI-CaAlg can be considered as a novel, eco-friendly, and cost-effective adsorbent for simultaneous dye and phosphate adsorption. PRACTITIONER POINTS: This study aims to modify the surface of calcium alginate beads with polyethyleneimine (PEI). The adsorption of RBBR and phosphate by the modified alginate beads (PEI-CaAlg) was investigated. PEI is an organic polymer with a linear/branch shape, which can increase the active sites on the adsorbent surface. PEI has one nitrogen atom in every three atoms provides a positive charge that can complex with the negatively charged molecules. The adsorption of RBBR and phosphate were carried out onto PEI-CaAlg.

Abstract
Conductive hydrogels with stretchable, flexible and wearable properties have made significant contributions in the area of modern electronics. The polyacrylamide/alginate hydrogels are one of the potential emerging materials for application in a diverse range of fields because of their high stretch and toughness. However, most researchers focus on the investigation of their mechanical and swelling behaviors, and the adhesion and effects of the ionic liquids on the conductivities of polyacrylamide/alginate hydrogels are much less explored. Herein, methacrylated lysine and different alkyl chain substituted imidazole-based monomers (IMCx, x = 2, 4, 6 and 8) were introduced to prepare a series of novel pAMAL-IMCx-Ca hydrogels. We systematically investigated their macroscopic and microscopic properties through tensile tests, electrochemical impedance spectra and scanning electron microscopy, as well as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and demonstrated that an alkyl chain length of the IMCx plays an important role in the designing of hydrogel strain sensors. The experiment result shows that the hexyl chains of IMC6 can effectively entangle with LysMA through hydrophobic and electrostatic interactions, which significantly enhance the mechanical strength of the hydrogels. Furthermore, the different strain rates and the durability of the pAMAL-IMC6-Ca hydrogel were investigated and the relative resistance responses remain almost the same in both conditions, making it a potential candidate for wearable strain sensors.

Abstract
The proliferating demand for sustainable, biodegradable, and biologically safe materials has triggered the development of polysaccharide-based hydrogels. The translation of research on single polysaccharide-based hydrogels into their desired clinical or industrial application is minimal. This is attributable to their lack of mechanical strength, inadequate stability, and constrained the possibility of their modulation to obtain the desired property. Polysaccharide-based composite hydrogels (PCHs) have proven their mantle to counteract this issue while expanding the horizons for their applications. PCHs can be fabricated by physical and/or chemical interlinking techniques, which entails the association of macromolecular chain linkages. The resulting composites can impart remarkably higher stability and elevate the suitability and efficiency of the system. Owing to these advantages, the research on PCHs has been gaining momentum. They are emerging as a lucrative alternative for the conventional molecules used for the fabrication of such materials. The review would initially focus on providing a detailed outlook for the various physical/chemical techniques involved in the preparation of PCHs. Subsequently, the characterization techniques used to understand the structural and chemical behavior of PCHs would be discussed. The article would also elaborate on the various fields of application and the possible areas for future research of PCHs.

Abstract
Hydrogel beads based on the husk of agarwood fruit (HAF)/sodium alginate (SA), and based on the HAF/chitosan (CS) were developed for the removal of the dyes, crystal violet (CV) and reactive blue 4 (RB4), in aqueous solutions, respectively. The effects of the initial pH (2–10) of the dye solution, the adsorbent dosage (0.5–3.5 g/L), and contact time (0–540 min) were investigated in a batch system. The dynamic adsorption behavior of CV and RB4 can be represented well by the pseudo-second-order model and pseudo-first-order model, respectively. In addition, the adsorption isotherm data can be explained by the Langmuir isotherm model. Both hydrogel beads have acceptable adsorption selectivity and reusability for the study of selective adsorption and regeneration. Based on the effectiveness, selectivity, and reusability of these hydrogel beads, they can be treated as potential adsorbents for the removal of dyes in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
Biocompatible dicalcium phosphate (DCP) cements are widely used as bone repair materials. In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of different amounts of sodium alginate (SA) on the microstructural, mechanical, and biological properties of DCP cements. Beta-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) was prepared using a microwave-assisted wet precipitation system. Lattice parameters of the obtained particles determined from X-ray diffraction (XRD), were in good match with a standard phase of β-TCP. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) examination revealed that the particles were in globular shape. Furthermore, all functional groups of β-TCP were also detected using Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra. DCP cement (pure phase) was synthesized using monocalcium phosphate monohydrate (MCPM)/β-TCP powder mixture blended with 1.0 mL of water. SA/DCP cement composites were synthesized by dissolving different amounts of SA into water (1.0 mL) to obtain different final concentrations (0.5%, 1%, 2% and 3%). The prepared cements were characterized with XRD, SEM, FTIR and Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). XRD results showed that pure DCP and SA/DCP cements were in a good match with Monetite phase. SEM results confirmed that addition of SA inhibited the growth of DCP particles. Setting time and injectability behaviour were significantly improved upon increasing the SA amount into DCP cements. In vitro biodegradation was evaluated using Simulated body fluid (SBF) over 21 days at 37 °C. The highest cumulative weight loss (%) in SBF was observed for 2.0% SA/DCP (about 26.52%) after 21 days of incubation. Amount of Ca2+ ions released in SBF increased with the addition of SA. DCP and SA/DCP cements showed the highest mechanical strength after 3 days of incubation in SBF and declined with prolonged immersion periods. In vitro cell culture experiments were conducted using Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs). Viability and morphology of cells incubated in extract media of DCP and SA/DCP discs after 24 h incubation was studied with MTT assay and fluorescence microscopy imaging, respectively. All cements were cytocompatible and viability of cells incubated in extracts of cements was higher than observed in the control group. Based on the outcomes, SA/DCP bone cements have a promising future to be utilized as bone filler.

Abstract
A novel macro-architectures material Fe3O4-N-GO@sodium alginate (SA) gel film was successfully produced, which was used to remove series azo dye wastewater. The optimal adsorption rates were attained, which achieved the maximum removal efficiency of 74.22%, 45.72%, 37.75% for Congo Red, Acid Orange 7 and Amino Black 10B respectively, under the condition that the mass ratio of Fe3O4-N-GO to sodium alginate was 0.11. The optimal adsorption temperature for three dyes was 30 ℃ and the adsorption equilibrium was reached at 150 min. The adsorption kinetic model of Fe3O4-N-GO@SA for the three azo dyes conformed to the quasi-second-order reaction model, and the adsorption isotherm was more in line with the Freundlich adsorption. The adsorption mechanism was multi-layer heterogeneous adsorption under the combined action of physical adsorption and chemisorption, and chemisorption was the main step of controlling the speed. The study would provide theoretical basis for the application of macro-architectures material in environment.

Abstract
This study aimed to enhance the properties of CaCl2 crosslinked sodium alginate/k-carrageenan (SA/KC) incorporated with clove essential oil (CEO). An evaluation of the modification effects on physicochemical, morphological, antioxidant, and antibacterial properties was performed. The properties were observed at various SA/KC ratios (10/0 to 1.5/1), CEO (1.5% to 3%), and CaCl2 (0% to 2%). The surface morphology was improved by addition of KC and CaCl2. The Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) result showed insignificant alteration of film chemical structure. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) result confirmed the increased crystallinity index of the film by CaCl2 addition. On physicochemical properties, a higher proportion of SA/KC showed the declined tensile strength, meanwhile both elongation at break and water solubility were increased. The incorporated CEO film reduced both tensile strength and water solubility; however, the elongation at break was significantly increased. The presence of Ca2+ ions remarkably increased the tensile strength despite decreased water solubility. Overall, the addition of KC and CaCl2 helped in repairing the mechanical properties and flexibility. CEO incorporation showed the effectiveness of profiling the antioxidant and antimicrobial activity indicated by high 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity up to 90.32% and inhibition zone of E. coli growth up to 113.14 mm2.

Abstract
In this study, a novel strategy to prepare sodium alginate (SA)/nano fibrillated cellulose (NFC) double network (DN) hydrogel beads with the aid of graphene oxide (GO) was developed. In comparison with the multi-step freezing-thawing method, this study employs a facile one-step freeze drying method with the presence of GO sheets. The crucial roles of GO were highlighted as an efficient nucleating agent of NFC and a reinforcer for the hydrogel. The adsorption property of the DN hydrogel towards crystal violet (CV) was also studied. Results indicated that the introduction of GO could greatly facilitate the formation of double networks. Furthermore, the as-prepared DN hydrogel beads exhibited an efficacious adsorption property towards CV. The maximum adsorption capacity of the hydrogels for CV was observed as 665 mg g-1. Therefore, our approach here represents a facile method for the preparation of crystalline polymer based DN hydrogels to replace the awkward freezing-thawing process, giving inspiration for DN hydrogels design and preparation. Moreover, due to its efficient adsorption capacity, the hydrogels hold great promise for the water pollution control materials.
