Sustainable recovery of a chitin–glucan complex–protein biocomposite from yeast biomass using biocompatible ionic liquids

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Chitin–glucan complex (CGC) is typically extracted from fungal or yeast biomass using harsh alkaline treatments that not only generate high‐salt, organic‐rich effluents, but also negatively impact the structural and functional properties of the recovered copolymer, while wasting the yeast protein fraction, which is discarded.

Preparation and Characterization of Durian Husk Fiber Filled Polylactic Acid Biocomposites

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Polylactic acid (PLA) is biodegradable thermoplastic that made from renewable raw material, but its high cost limited the application. Thus, addition of natural fiber can be effectively reduced the cost of PLA.

Preparation and Evaluation of Biodegradable Film From Zinc Oxide Nanoparticles‐Carboxymethyl Cellulose‐Gelatin Containing Salvia viridis Anthocyanin

Food Chemistry International, EarlyView.
Different percentages of ANT affected the physical and mechanical characteristics of the film. The results indicated that this produced film is a useful tool for monitoring the freshness of food products.. ABSTRACT In recent years, growing environmental concerns have promoted the use of natural and biodegradable polymers in food packaging applications.
