Proteins for a sustainable future

Nature Reviews Materials
Modern industries exhibit a systemic disconnect in the management of carbon resources across sectors that contributes to disproportionately high greenhouse gas emissions. The food sector, for example, discards protein-rich side streams and carbohydrate-rich waste that could be converted into renewable carbon feedstocks, whereas the manufacturing sector

Sustainable protein regeneration in encapsulated materials

Cell Systems
Zhu et al. introduce MELG (materials engineered by living grafting), combining engineered microbes with non-living scaffolds for functional protein regeneration within. These MELGs can be used for long-term controlled release, enzyme-mediated biocatalysis, and DNA purification.

Sustainable Protein Production and Consumption: Pigs or Peas?

2006
Sustainable Protein Production and Consumption: Pigs or Peas? is a book that presents and explores the PROFETAS programme for development of a more sustainable food system by studying the feasibility of substituting meat with plant based alternatives. The emphasis is on improving the food system by reducing the use of energy, land, and freshwater, at ...

Sustainability by design for recombinant protein therapeutics

Drug Discovery Today
Recombinant protein therapeutics play a vital role in pharmacology, offering precise and effective treatments. However, their development faces sustainability challenges, including high attrition rates, resource-intensive processes, and complex supply chains, leading to waste, emissions, and high costs.

Mineralized cyclodextrin nanoparticles for sustained protein delivery

Carbohydrate Polymers, 2013
The extensive therapeutic potential of protein drugs has been severely limited by their instability and short biological half-lives in vivo. To prolong their therapeutic effects, a sustained delivery system is required. In this study, cyclodextrin-based polymeric nanoparticles (CD-NPs), mineralized by calcium phosphate as the diffusion barrier, were ...

Sustainable Alternatives to Conventional Proteins

Food Studies: An Interdisciplinary Journal
<p>Proteins are macronutrients that provide mechanical support and immune protection, generate movement, and control growth. Animal proteins are the most widely used protein source, containing all essential amino acids necessary for the human body.

Crickets: A Sustainable Source of Protein

Abstract Book of the 1st International Online Conference on Innovations in Food Science and Technology, INNOFOOD 2025
Food is vital for human survival, and over time, its variety has grown exponentially to meet diverse consumer needs, requirements, and expectations. Public health, environmental, and economic factors increasingly influence food design. Gastronomy plays a key role in this process, leveraging expertise in transformation techniques, food composition, and ...

Environmentally Sustainable Fibers from Regenerated Protein

Biomacromolecules, 2008
Concerns for the environment and consumer demand are driving research into environmentally friendly fibers as replacements for part of the 38 million tonnes of synthetic fiber produced annually. While much current research focuses on cellulosic fibers, we highlight that protein fibers regenerated from waste or byproduct sources should also be ...

Polymers for the sustained release of proteins and other macromolecules

Nature, 1976
SINCE the first demonstration that silicone rubber1 could be used as an implantable carrier for sustained delivery of low molecular weight compounds in animal tissues, various drug delivery systems have been developed. But except for the reports of Davis2,3 and Girnbrone et al.4, there has been little success in the development of slow release agents ...
