Polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) produced from red grape pomace: Effect of purification processes on structural, thermal and antioxidant properties.
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
Red grape pomace was used as a source for poly(3-hydroxybutyrate) (PHB) production, which was then subject to a range of purification processes. The different PHB biopolymers were characterized for chemical structure, ...
Tailoring physicochemical properties of collagen-based composites with ionic liquids and wool for advanced applications
(Elsevier, 2022-06)
Wool, choline dihydrogen phosphate ([Ch][DHP]) or choline serinate ([Ch][Seri) ionic liquids (ILs) were incorporated into native collagen formulations and films were prepared by compression molding. Scanning electron ...
Developing active and intelligent films through the incorporation of grape skin and seed tannin extracts into gelatin
(Elsevier, 2022-09)
To achieve sustainability in the wine industry, by-products from winery operations are being diverted from waste streams and turned into beneficial use. Grape seed tannin (SeedT) and skin tannin (SkinT) extracts were used ...
Effect of gelatin concentration, ribose and glycerol additions on the electrospinning process and physicochemical properties of gelatin nanofibers
(Elsevier, 2022-11)
Rheological properties of gelatin-based solutions containing different concentrations of ribose and/or glycerol were assessed before electrospun mats were manufactured and their properties investigated. Characterization ...
Sustainable Sheep Wool/Soy Protein Biocomposites for Sound Absorption
(MDPI, 2022-12-01)
The wool fibers of the Latxa sheep breed were combined with a soy protein isolate (SPI)
matrix to develop sustainable biocomposites with acoustic properties, adding value to Latxa sheep
wool, which is currently considered ...
Hybrid 3D Printed and Electrospun Multi-Scale Hierarchical Polycaprolactone Scaffolds to Induce Bone Differentiation
(MDPI, 2022-12-19)
Complex scaffolds composed of micro- and nano-structures are a key target in tissue engineering and the combination of sequential 3D printing and electrospinning enables the fabrication of these multi-scale structures. In ...
