, 2006 De vraag naar bioplastics die geschikt zijn als voedselverpakkingen is de afgelopen jaren sterk gestegen. Dit komt doordat er een sterke interesse is voor alternatieven voor polyethyleen (PE), polypropyleen (PP) en polyethyleentereftalaat (PET),die de negatieve associatie oproepen van afvalbergen, zwerfvuil en milieuvervuiling.

Sorghum Protein: Ethanol‐Based Extraction to Improve Yield and Properties
Sustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.A key barrier to expanding the use of sorghum‐based proteins is the challenge related to protein extraction and utilization via conventional methods. This work evaluated a blended solvent approach (ethanol:alkali) for protein extraction from ground, pearled sorghum and wet‐milled sorghum protein meal to improve yield and properties.

Revisiting acidulation for tall oil and lignin manufacturing
The Canadian Journal of Chemical Engineering, Volume 104, Issue 4, Page 1677-1691, April 2026.Abstract Tall oil is a byproduct of the kraft pulping process when softwood is used as raw material. As the production of softwood‐based pulp is in high demand, the optimization of the tall oil production process needs to be revisited to ensure the highest quality and quantity of tall oil manufacturing. In this work, the process for tall oil production
