On the Cover Biomass valorization is conventionally associated with the production of green biofuels. However, this could extend well beyond the conventional perception of biomass application into other domains, such as biomedical sciences. Acid condensate, also known as wood vinegar or pyroligneous acid obtained from biomass pyrolysis, promises a good potential for biomedical applications, notably for its antimicrobial, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties. Exploring these potentials, in the September 2022 Issue of Biofuel Research Journal, a team of Malaysian researchers attempted to use acid condensate as a wound healing agent and scrutinized the underlying mechanism. Through this study, they observed faster wound closure when treated with phenolic-rich acid condensate, attributing the enhanced wound healing activity to the increase in protein activation of Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and Protein kinase B, related to the common wound healing signaling pathway. This study highlights the untapped biomedical potential of acid condensate, the aqueous fraction from the biomass pyrolysis process (DOI: 10.18331/BRJ2022.9.3.2). Cover art by BiofuelResJ. ©2022. |
Biofuel Research Journal (BRJ) publishes high-quality original articles, review articles, case studies, book reviews, short communications, and hypotheses on the fundamentals, applications, processing, and management of biofuel and bioproduct research and technologies:
Moreover, novel and integrated biofuel & bioproduct processing and hybrid systems as well as energy audit for biofuel & bioproduct production plants are of interest. The journal also seeks to publish articles with a focus on the application of artificial photosynthesis for biofuels production, carbon footprint analysis, strategies for limiting green house gas (GHG) emissions, life cycle assessment (LCA) and exergy analysis of biofuel & bioproduct production/application pathways, compliance with the international standards (such as PAS 2050:2011 and ISO 14040:2006), technoeconomic analysis of biofuel & bioproduct production/application, impacts of biofuel & bioproduct production/consumption on climate change, futuristic pathways for biofuel & bioproduct production, and promotion of biofuel & bioproduct applications in the developing world for indigenous development. In addition to the above, BRJ also considers articles with a focus on biofuels & bioproducts in Circular Economy as well as biofuels & bioproducts finance.
Biofuel Research Journal is indexed in Scopus and Web of Science.
BRJ does not charge any submission or publication fees.
