Emerging Non-thermal Processing of Food Waste and by-Products for Sustainable Food Systems - Selected Cases
(Springer Nature Switzerland AG, 2022)
Food waste and by-products are generated in all stages of food supply chain and it is estimated that third of all produced food is wasted. The goal is to minimise avoidable waste, to recover resources in sustainable way ...
The Realm of Smart Biomass Degrading Enzymes in Low-Carbon Fuels and Chemicals Production
(Cham : Springer, 2024)
Due to the depletion of fossil fuel sources and the issues posed by climate change, there is an increasing demand for renewable and sustainable fuel alternatives. Biofuels are a viable replacement for fossil fuels since ...
Semi-interpenetrating networks based on (Meth)acrylate, itaconic acid, and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) hydrogels for biomedical applications
(Springer Singapore, 2020)
In this study, three series of semi-interpenetrating networks were synthesized based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (HEA), itaconic acid (IA), and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) as interpenetrating ...
Encapsulation of Plant Extracts
(Taylor and Francis, 2022)
Food technology has adopted new principles and practices that are rapidly changing the food sector. New foods are now available under more uniform standards and better quality control. Globalised food market offers ...
Microbiota changes throughout life - an overview
(Elsevier, 2022)
Over the course of human evolutionary path, our microbiota has co-evolved to achieve a solid relationship with the human host in various body sites. The most densely populated site is the distal gut and gut microbiota is ...
Antimicrobial properties of (meth)acrylate based hydrogels
(An Introduction to Antibacterial Properties, 2020)
The rapid emergence of antibiotic-resistant pathogens is becoming an imminent global public health problem. The development of novel antimicrobial materials aiming to prevent or control infections caused by these pathogens ...
Hemp-Based Materials for Applications in Wastewater Treatment by Biosorption-Oriented Processes: A Review
(Singapore : Springer Nature, 2022)
Treatment of wastewater pollution is a critical issue in the context of growing population and industrialization. Actual treatment methods are expensive and not fully effective and rely on fossil fuel-derived chemicals, ...
Chemical Modifications of Jute Fiber Properties for Lifecycle Enhancement by Utilization in Wastewater Treatment
(New York : Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2022)
The increased demand for cheap, biodegradable, renewable, and recyclable fibers with exceptional properties positioned jute (Corchorus capsularis L. and Corchorus olitorius L.) in the second place (after cotton) in the ...
Nanotechnology in Delivery and Targeting of Phytochemicals for Lifestyle Diseases
(Singapore : Springer, 2024)
In many cases, conventional therapeutics are not able to cure diseases in a proper and safe manner. Conversely, plants and their derivatives have been successfully used for the treatment of numerous diseases and disorders ...
A Life Cycle Energy Assessment for Biogas as Energy Carrier
(Springer International Publishing, 2023)
This chapter aims to evaluate energy flows in the life cycle of biogas utilization (i.e., production of thermal energy, cogeneration, traffic, and production of hydrogen), starting from feedstock and anaerobic digestion, ...
