Cascade valorisation of spent pectin biomass into functional cosmetic ingredients and growing-media components
Plinius Labs proposes a two-step cascade to valorise spent pectin fibre from the fruit-processing industry. Mild fractionation recovers pectin and hemicellulose-rich polysaccharides for cosmetic applications such as thic...
Rhinifilm botanica: botanical nasal spray for allergen protection
RhiniFilm Botanica is an innovative nasal spray that forms a protective biofilm upon contact with the nasal mucosa. Utilizing natural polysaccharides, it offers a non-pharmacological barrier against allergens and irritan...
Solvent-soluble lignin oligomers for UV protection in agrochemical sprays
Innovative lignin oligomers sourced from biomass offer broad-spectrum UV protection (280–420 nm) in agrochemical sprays. These biocompatible, oil-soluble lignins prevent photodegradation of active ingredients, supporting...
Efficient hexanal quantification in dry protein matrices via static headspace GC
Developing a static headspace gas chromatography (GC) method for accurate hexanal quantification in dry animal proteins. This efficient approach requires minimal sample preparation and no additional solvents, providing h...
