Valorization of cheese whey: closing the loop from protein extraction to whey protein film composting
(RSC, 2024)
Whey protein extracted from cheese-making by-products was analysed as a potential alternative for both food waste valorisation and food packaging waste reduction. Whey protein was ultrafiltered from local cheese whey and ...
Closing the loop: Waste valorisation from vegetal sources to develop fruit active films
(Elsevier, 2024-07)
Cellulose-rich residue after agar extraction was incorporated into gelatin film forming formulations in order to revalorize it and improve film properties. This revalorized cellulose was compared with the commercial sodium ...
Chitin nanowhisker-containing photo-crosslinked antimicrobial gelatin films
(Elsevier, 2024-02)
Nearly 57 Mt of food waste are generated annually in the EU for many reasons, for instance, because of microbial food spoilage. So, actions to reduce food loss and waste are needed and active packaging could offer a new ...
Pectin and pectin/chitosan hydrogel beads as coffee essential oils carrier systems
(Elsevier, 2024-06)
Two pectin fractions extracted from coffee pulp, one high-methoxylated (Coffea arabica pectin, CAP) and other low-methoxylated (chelating agent-soluble pectic fraction, CSP), were used for the development of hydrogel beads ...

Sustainable antibacterial collagen composites with silver nanowires for resistive pressure sensor applications
(Elsevier, 2023-11)
Considering the circular economy and the increasing need of smart materials for the digitalization of society, it is essential that these materials are based on bio-resources. Thus, in order to replace synthetic by natural ...
The versatility of collagen and chitosan: From food to biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
Biodegradable polymers obtained from renewable resources, such as chitosan and collagen, are sustainable alternatives to develop environmentally friendly materials. Due to their abundance, biocompatibility and antimicrobial ...
