  1. 1. Sustainable food packaging based on polyhydroxyalkanoate

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Safana Al-Ashor; [2024]
    Keywords : Biopolymers; Sustainable food packaging; Circular economy; Biobased and biodegradable materials; Food packaging; Processing technologies; Food quality; Shelf-life;

    Abstract : The Norwegian Food Research Institute (Nofima) and the University of Borås worked together to develop this project. The commonly used packaging materials pose a serious threat to the environment, as they are produced from nonrenewable crude oil and cannot decompose naturally. READ MORE

  3. 2. Evaluating the feasibility of chitosan as an adhesive for wood laminates and as a matrix for transparent wood

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Nihar Sakhadeo; [2023]
    Keywords : Transparent wood; Chitosan; Biobased adhesives; Biopolymers; Laminate; Transparent trä; Kitosan; Biobaserad adhesiv; Biopolymer; Laminat;

    Abstract : En av grundpelarna i alla hållbara system är införandet av en cirkulär ekonomi, som främjar återanvändning och återvinning av material. Plast är en av i utmaning i detta avseende på grund av den stora produktionsvolymen variation i sorter och långsamma nedbrytn. READ MORE

  4. 3. Biopolymers processed and used as enzyme carriers

    University essay from KTH/Fiber- och polymerteknologi

    Author : Dániel Mészáros; [2023]
    Keywords : Biobased materials; plasticized sodium alginate; water stability; extraction kinetics; enzyme carrier; Biobaserade material; Mjukgjort natriumalginat; Vattenstabilitet; extraktionskinetik; Enzymbärare;

    Abstract : Syftet med detta masterprojekt var att undersöka möjligheten att använda biobaserat, mjukgjort natriumalginat (NaAlg) som enzymbärare. Alginaterna görs traditionellt bearbetbara genom att tillsätta olika mjukgörare, såsom polyoler (glycerol, sorbitol, etc.), i detta arbete användes glycerol. READ MORE

  5. 4. Green Coacervates for Pharma and Food

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Livsmedelsteknik och nutrition (master)

    Author : Izabella Imets; Andreas Vallin; [2022]
    Keywords : MSc; coacervate; biosurfactant; biopolymer; SAXS; DLS; elliposometry; pharmaceutical technology; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : Anionic biosurfactant-cationic biopolymer systems were investigated to identify and characterize a coacervation window. The characterization of the systems was performed with dynamic light scattering, small angle x-ray scattering and in-situ ellipsometry. READ MORE

  6. 5. Production of biocomposite materials from filamentous fungi grown on apple pomace

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Angela Sabbagh; Susanna Bahari; [2022]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Managing and reducing food waste has increasingly become a global problem in later years, including food waste in the form of fruit pulp from the juice and beverage production industries. Another current urgent issue is the need for a replacement of fossil fuel-based plastics with more sustainable biopolymers. READ MORE
