Supply Chain Innovations for Food Waste and Loss: Systematic Literature Review and Future Research Agenda

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Food waste and loss (FWL) remains a critical challenge across food supply chains (SCs) globally, with approximately one‐third of all food produced for human consumption discarded or lost each year. This study systematically reviews how supply chain innovation (SCI) can mitigate FWL.

Changes in microbial community structure during adaptation of kombucha symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast to fermentation of sweet and acid whey

Journal of Dairy Science
: Whey is a liquid byproduct from the dairy industry that is not fully utilized and can be problematic to dispose of. Based on its composition, there is potential to upcycle whey into fermented beverages for human consumption. Most focus to date has been

Enzymatic recycling and microbial upcycling for a circular plastics bioeconomy.

Current Opinion in Biotechnology
Since the 1950s, plastics have become commodity materials that are present in virtually every aspect of our daily lives. However, the current economic model of plastics is fundamentally linear, with less than 10% of plastics returning to the value chain ...
