Biocomposites from porcine plasma protein and urban parks and gardens green waste
(Elsevier, 2023-08)
Biorefinery was used to transform two organic wastes, i.e. urban park & garden green waste and porcine plasma (PPP), into raw materials for biocomposite production. The effect of the nature, size and content of the filler ...

Strengthening of Porcine Plasma Protein Superabsorbent Materials through a Solubilization-Freeze-Drying Process
(MDPI, 2021-02)
The replacement of common acrylic derivatives by biodegradable materials in the formu lation of superabsorbent materials would lessen the associated environmental impact. Moreover, the use of by-products or biowastes from ...
Artículo
Proteins from Agri-Food Industrial Biowastes or Co-Products and Their Applications as Green Materials
(MDPI, 2021-02)
A great amount of biowastes, comprising byproducts and biomass wastes, is originated yearly from the agri-food industry. These biowastes are commonly rich in proteins and polysaccharides and are mainly discarded or used ...
Artículo
Biorefinery concept in the meat industry: From slaughterhouse biowastes to superaborbent materials
(Elsevier, 2023-09)
The expansion of food production has a large environmental impact in many ways. More specifically, 30–40% of total food production is lost as wastes and/or by-products before it reaches the market. In this sense, blood is ...
