Development and Characterization of Poly(butylene succinate‐co‐adipate)/Poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydroxyvalerate) with Cowpea Lignocellulosic Fibers as a Filler via Injection Molding and Extrusion Film‐Casting

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 309, Issue 8, August 2024.
This study explores the use of low‐value agricultural residues/fibers from a neglected African crop, cowpea as a filler in a poly(butylene succinate‐co‐adipate)/Poly(3‐hydroxybutyrate‐co‐3‐hydoxyvalerate) (PBSA/PHBV) blend matrix to produce biodegradable plastics.

Preliminary Analysis on Bio-Acidification Using Coffee Torrefaction Waste and Acetic Acid on Animal Manure from a Dairy Farm

open access: yesAgriculture
This study investigates bio-acidification as a method to decrease the pH of animal manure in dairy farms through the application of coffee silverskin (i.e., a coffee torrefaction waste) and acetic acid.

Interest of Coffee Melanoidins as Sustainable Healthier Food Ingredients

open access: yesFrontiers in Nutrition, 2021
Coffee melanoidins are generated by the Maillard reaction during the thermal processes occurring in the journey of coffee from the plant to the cup (during drying and roasting). Melanoidins, the brown pigments formed as the end products of this reaction,

Coffee by-products as sustainable novel foods: Report of the 2nd international electronic conference on foods—“future foods and food technologies for a sustainable world” [PDF]

open access: yes, 2022
The coffee plant Coffea spp. offers much more than the well-known drink made from the roasted coffee bean. During its cultivation and production, a wide variety of by-products are accrued, most of which are currently unused, thermally recycled, or used ...

Valorization of spent coffee ground by mixing with various types of residual biomass for pellet production: evaluation of solid biofuel properties at different mixtures

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 18, Issue 4, Page 968-989, July/August 2024.
Abstract Coffee consumption is a daily habit for the majority of people worldwide, resulting in consistently large amounts of residue. Spent coffee ground (SCG) is the residue obtained during the brewing process. It represents an abundant source of energy biomass, or raw material for added value products but it is still largely unexploited.

Mycelium Agrowaste‐Bound Biocomposites as Thermal and Acoustic Insulation Materials in Building Construction

open access: yesMacromolecular Materials and Engineering, Volume 309, Issue 6, June 2024.
3D mycelium biocomposites are developed from Pleurotus ostreatus fed with coffee silverskin. They present low thermal conductivity and good sound absorption. Such components require minimal energy for their growth and are fully compostable in the end of their lifespan.

Valorization of coffee silverskin by cascade extraction of valuable biomolecules: preparation of eco‐friendly composites as the ultimate step

open access: yesBiofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 18, Issue 2, Page 524-542, March/April 2024.
Abstract This study presents a multidisciplinary approach for dealing with the environmental problems related to agro‐industrial coffee residues. The exploitation of these residues allows biomolecules to be obtained from renewable sources and enables the preparation of CO2‐neutral biocomposites, with the advantages of reducing fossil depletion ...

Investigation of antioxidant and sensory properties and in vitro bioaccessibility of low‐fat functional cookies substituted with wheat germ flour and coffee silverskin

open access: yesJournal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, Volume 104, Issue 3, Page 1322-1334, February 2024.
Abstract BACKGROUND This study aimed to produce new functional cookies with high nutritional properties and low calorie content. It investigated the effects of incorporating wheat germ flour (WGF) at levels of 10–30% as a substitute for whole wheat flour (WWF), along with coffee silver skin (CSS) in the same proportions, serving as natural functional ...
