Petroleum-based plastics have come under a lot of scrutiny in the past decade owing to the
properties that made them ubiquitous items; their durability and expendability. The …

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a potential replacement for some petrochemical-based
plastics. PHAs are polyesters synthesized and stored by various bacteria and archaea in …

Regardless of considerable progress in synthetic plastic or polymer-based industry, its low
biodegradability is a critical issue. Nevertheless, natural “biopolymers” are gradually …

Bio-based polymers, obtained from natural biomass, are nowadays considered good
candidates for the replacement of traditional fossil-derived plastics. The need for substituting …

Uncontrolled waste generation and management difficulties are causing chaos in the
ecosystem. Although it is vital to ease environmental pressures, right now there is no such …

Environmental sustainability has gained serious concern worldwide due to rapid depletion
of natural resources and simultaneous increase of carbon footprint. Disposing of waste …

This study explores the potential of date seeds as natural stabilizers in nanoemulsion-based
functional foods. Six pre-treatments (control, overnight stirring, high-speed homogenization …

Nature holds a great potential of complex valuable compounds that either are important
precursor structures for derivatization in chemistry or pharmacy or are in itself structures or …

The escalating demand for sustainable alternatives to conventional plastics has inspired
extensive research into bioplastic production. This study aims to help meet the demand for …

The production of environmentally friendly biocomposites can be based on attractive and
low-cost vegetable pomace, a waste product from oil production. In the present study …
