A Multi-Functional Prebiotic Strategy: Crosslinked 2′-Fucosyllactose-Potato Protein Hydrolysate Conjugates Encapsulating Resveratrol for Co-Delivery to Beneficial Gut Bacteria

Foods
Prebiotics are predominantly indigestible carbohydrate-based substrates selectively-utilized by beneficial gut-microbes to support host-health. We previously developed protein-containing prebiotics that co-deliver carbohydrate and protein substrates to ...

Laser‐Induced Graphene from Waste Almond Shells

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Almond shells, an abundant agricultural by‐product, are repurposed to create a fully bioderived almond shell/chitosan composite (ASC) degradable in soil. ASC is converted into laser‐induced graphene (LIG) by laser scribing and proposed as a substrate for transient electronics.

Biopolymers from food wastes [PDF]

, 2022
The natural biopolymers can be produced from polysaccharides, such as starch (rice, potato, wheat and corn), cellulose (straw and wood), chitin (crustaceans and insects), lignin (various plants) and, also, from proteins such as collagen (pig and cattle ...

Composites of Shellac and Silver Nanowires as Flexible, Biobased, and Corrosion‐Resistant Transparent Conductive Electrodes

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Shellac, a centuries‐old natural resin, is reimagined as a green material for flexible electronics. When combined with silver nanowires, shellac films deliver transparency, conductivity, and stability against humidity. These results position shellac as a sustainable alternative to synthetic polymers for transparent conductors in next‐generation ...

Utilization of food waste streams for the production of biopolymers [PDF]

Heliyon, 2020
Uncontrolled decomposition of agro-industrial waste leads to extensive contamination of water, land, and air. There is a tremendous amount of waste from various sources which causes serious environmental problems. The concern in the disposal problems has stimulated research interest in the valorization of waste streams.
