The most recent strategies available for upcycling agri‐food losses and waste (FLW) into
functional bioplastics and advanced materials are reviewed and the valorization of food …

Cutin is the main component of plant cuticles constituting the framework that supports the
rest of the cuticle components. This biopolymer is composed of esterified bi-and trifunctional …

A method consisting of the alkaline hydrolysis of tomato pomace by-products has been
optimized to obtain a mixture of unsaturated and polyhydroxylated fatty acids as well as a …

During the transition towards sustainable practices, cork has emerged as a pivotal material.
Its distinctive cellular structure and chemical composition, encompassing suberin, lignin …

This review succinctly describes the recent progress in the design and development of metal-
containing ionic liquids or liquid metal catalysts. This review only includes ionic liquid …

Bioplastics were prepared from the fatty fraction (ie, unsaturated and polyhydroxylated fatty
acids) of tomato pomace agro-wastes. Aliphatic polyesters were synthesized at different …

The plant cuticle is a hydrophobic barrier membrane found mainly on leaf surfaces and fruit
skin. This work presents the structural and barrier properties of cuticle-inspired poly …

Green chemistry is a key opportunity in chemistry and chemical engineering today because
it can potentially preserve the environment and human health. It entails the choice of natural …

Green chemistry protocols are proposed to produce high-value chemicals from waste
tomatoes. Long-chain hydroxy fatty acids (called cutin acids), in particular the 10, 16 …

Good water barrier properties and biocompatibility of long-chain biopolyesters like cutin and
suberin have inspired the design of synthetic mimetic materials. Most of these biopolymers …
