Abstract: The present invention discloses an improved catalyst free process for synthesis of alkyl carbamates in an integrated system comprising a tubular reactor and a striper. The process comprises reacting urea and an alcohol in said tubular reactor under autogeneous pressure; wherein said process provides >90% selectivity towards alkyl carbamate. The mixture of urea and alcohol is N fed to the tubular reactor at a particular feed rate. The tubular reactor is heated externally under autogeneous pressure to carry out a synthesis reaction producing alkyl carbamate and ammonia. The ammonia is removed from the tubular reactor by the striper. The tubular reactor and the stripper are arranged in series to reduce the equilibrium limitations of the reaction and drive the reaction in forward direction.

Abstract: An automated method for remote computing of molecular docking and dynamics from one or more jobs in a network of plurality of users. The invention employs a system to execute the method comprising at least one user device, a remote computing server and a remote database. The job defining action tags are received and scanned by the remote server. A semantic analysis is performed on the jobs to distinguish between customized and non-customized tasks. A data analysis of the jobs is packaged in a compressed format. The user is continually updated of the job status. A public link is generated and sent to the user to download the results. The link is disabled after the downloading of the results to ensure the security of the data. The method avoids any duplication of jobs and can be performed even when the user is offline.

Abstract: The invention relates to the development of a simple and eco-friendly process of extraction of sweet glycosides: steviosides from the leaves of Stevia rebaudiana. In particular, certain embodiments provide enhanced isolation of steviosides by enzyme assisted extraction, in combination with metal salts, followed by pressurized aqueous extraction. Thus obtained stevia extract was further processed for clarification and purification using multi-stage membrane filters (micro-filtration, ultra-filtration and nano membrane filtration) to obtain high purity steviosides from the Stevia leaves. This improved process confirms the isolation of high purity steviol glycosides i.e., Stevioside and Rebaudioside-A as the final products, with improved organoleptic properties. Thus, this superior process helps in obtaining pure steviosides from the Stevia leaf extract, without impurities and obnoxious residues, using easy operational technology without any damage to the environment.

Abstract: The present invention involves the isolation of plant based CNCs from the leaves of S. cumini. For the formation of NCs, a novel greener approach using S. cumini LE as reducing agent for in situ impregnation of AgNPs as fillers into CNCs as matrix is reported. The silver nitrate solution in three different concentrations of 1 mM, 5 mM and 10 mM was used to form NCs where AgNPs have been incorporated into CNCs matrix. The CNCs and NCs were characterized using SEM, TEM, XRD, Zeta potential, FT-IR, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. NCs developed in the form of film and ointment showed strong antimicrobial activity against both gram negative and gram positive bacteria. NCs wound dressing is capable of regulating wound exudates and providing moisture to wound responsible for faster healing of acute wounds. The observations from histopathological and biochemical assays confirmed that NCs enhance healing because of lesser inflammation, rapid angiogenesis, early collagen formation and enhanced rate of reepithelization.
