Harnessing Fungal Biowelding for Constructing Mycelium‐Engineered Materials

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Mycelium‐bound composites (MBCs) offer low‐carbon alternatives for construction, yet interfacial bonding remains a critical challenge. This review examines fungal biowelding as a biocompatible adhesive, elucidating mycelium‐mediated interfacial mechanisms and their role in material assembly. Strategies to optimize biowelding are discussed, highlighting

Zein‐Based Adhesives: Sustainable Extraction and Application in Bioadhesive Technologies

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Zein is extracted from corn gluten meal using a simple and scalable process with high yield (~90%). The resulting protein is applied in bioadhesives modified with Ca2+ and Fe3+ ions, exhibiting substrate‐dependent adhesion. The findings demonstrate competitive bonding performance and highlight the role of ionic interactions in tuning adhesion ...

The physicochemical characterization and the bound phenolic profile of melanoidins from dark beer. [PDF]

Food Chem X
Melanoidins are complex Maillard reaction products synthesized during dark beer production. In this study, the molecular weight of melanoidins from dark beer was about 4.8 kDa. Carbohydrates were the main chemical composition with 61.07 ± 2.36 % w/w. Total phenol and flavonoid contents of melanoidins from dark beer were 2.31 ± 0.36 % w/w and 0.86 ± 0 ...
