Starch has attracted a lot of attention because it is biodegradable, renewable, nontoxic and
low cost. By adding antibacterial substances to starch, starch-based materials have …

This study proposed an efficient valorization of orange peel waste (OPW) thorugh a multi-
product cascade biorefinery approach. In a first step, polyphenolic-rich bioactive extract was …

The ecological problems emerging due to accumulation of non-biodegradable plastics are
becoming more and more urgent. This problem can be solved by the development of …

This study aims to prepare natural biomass-based nonionic antimicrobial polymers with
excellent biocompatibility, nonleachability, antimicrobial activity, and polymer miscibility …

Natural fibers are an important source for producing polymers, which are highly applicable
in their nanoform and could be used in very broad fields such as filtration for …

To date, approximately 30–50% of food is wasted from post-harvesting to consumer usage.
Typical examples of food by-products are fruit peels and pomace, seeds, and others. A large …

The cellulose nanofiber (CNF) is characterized by the nano-sized (fibers with a diameter
between 5 and 20 nm and a length between 2 and 10 μm), flexible and cross-linked …

Bio-based materials offer tremendous contributions by replacing conventional fossil-based
products for a more sustainable society. The aim of the current study was to study the effect …
