Biological Degradation of Spent Coffee Grounds by White Rot Fungi

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, Volume 15, Issue 3, June 2026.
Spent coffee grounds (SCG) are an extensively generated byproduct of coffee production and consumption. This study demonstrates the ability of white rot fungi to degrade SCG, achieving more than 40% carbohydrate reduction and producing active lignocellulose‐degrading enzymes, highlighting a potential biological approach for the valorization of this ...

Lupin Species and Protein Fraction Type Affect the Conformational State and Functional Performance of the Proteins

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Defatted white and blue lupin seed flours were each sequentially fractionated into albumin, globulin, and glutelin followed by structure and function evaluation. The albumins had the best solubility profile, globulins produced emulsions with smallest oil droplet sizes, while glutelins had the highest foaming capacity.

Fibril Synthesis From Food Processing By‐Products and Strategies for Structure–Function Stabilization for Food Applications

open access: yesSustainable Food Proteins, Volume 4, Issue 2, June 2026.
Protein fibrils can be synthesized from both conventional and by‐product protein sources, each having distinct advantages. Stabilization through polysaccharides and polyphenols can enhance fibril functional properties, such as gelling, foaming, and emulsification, thus furthering their application in food and non‐food materials.

Superior Impact‐Resistant Composite Hydrogels Through an Ionic Coupling Strategy

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, Volume 38, Issue 26, 8 May 2026.
An ionic coupling strategy is developed to simultaneously reinforce networks and interfaces in composite hydrogels. Sodium citrate acts as a single multifunctional ionic coupler to strengthen the poly(vinyl alcohol) matrix via the Hofmeister effect, reinforce the chitosan–sodium alginate nanofiber network via desolvation and electrostatic crosslinking,
