Making Sense of the Bioeconomy: A Critical Analysis of EU Policy Narratives and Responses

Environmental Policy and Governance, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The bioeconomy has become an increasingly popular concept in European Union (EU) policy, promising sustainable growth, job creation, and reduced environmental impacts. Yet its meaning remains contested, ambiguous, and politically charged. This study critically examines how EU bioeconomy policy narratives prior to 2025 construct this concept ...

Lycopene‐rich food biomolecules from tomato processing waste: Green recovery, biopolymer‐based stabilisation, functional food applications and health relevance

Food Biomacromolecules, EarlyView.
Abstract Tomato processing waste, particularly peel and pomace, is a sustainable and low‐cost source of lycopene‐rich food biomolecules. Lycopene, a lipophilic carotenoid with an extended conjugated structure, provides intense red colour, antioxidant potential and functional value to tomato‐derived ingredients.

Spruce Bark Biorefinery

, 2013
Norway spruce Picea abies is a key raw material for the forest industry in the Nordic countries. In order to improve the competitiveness of the forest industry by valorising residues and creating value from new products, we have studied the upgrading of spruce bark into transport fuels and chemicals.
