Investigation of Multifunctionality of Electrospun Poly(vinyl alcohol) Nanofiber Membranes Incorporating Boric Acid and Nanoencapsulated Curcumin: Filtration Performance, Antibacterial Activity, and Environmental Impact
**Concise version for citation:** Bead-free electrospun PVA and PVA/boric acid nanofiber membranes incorporating nanoencapsulated curcumin were developed for air filtration. Increased curcumin content enhanced fiber thickness, mechanical strength, filtration efficiency, and antibacterial activity. The membranes achieved ~100% filtration for 0.3 μm particles and >96% bacterial filtration against *S. aureus*, with stronger effects on *E. coli*. Biodegradability decreased with BA but improved with higher curcumin levels, highlighting these green nanofibers as promising eco-friendly air filters for chemical and microbial contaminants.
Optimization of Mangiferin from Mango (Mangifera indica L.) Leaves Using Response Surface Methodology
Mangifera indica L. (mango) is a rich source of mangiferin, a bioactive compound with diverse therapeutic properties. This study optimized mangiferin extraction from mango leaves using the dynamic maceration method and Box–Behnken design. Four parameters—extraction time, solvent concentration, temperature, and solvent-to-powder ratio—were evaluated. Optimal conditions (66% ethanol, 54°C, 88 min, 1:19 ratio) yielded 50.68 ± 0.65 mg/g of mangiferin. The results highlight the efficiency of dynamic maceration for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical applications.
