Advanced Screening Methodologies for the Comprehensive Monitoring of Intentionally & Non-Intentionally Added Substances in Next Generation Food Contact Materials
(Corresponding) Kanakaki C., Mermingi E., Nikolaos T.
Topic:
Bioplastics
The increasing importance of sustainability promotes the development of food contact materials (FCMs) that are safe for the consumers and environmentally friendly. The progressive replacement of ‘‘conventional’’ plastic materials with recycled plastics as well as bio-based and biodegradable...Read more
Designing sustainable processes for the valorization of industrial and environmental waste streams towards industrializable polyhydroxyalkanoates
(Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Antonopoulou G., Kokkinopoulou I., Ladakis D., Tragoulias K., Zhang Y., Yan Q., Nan J., Pissaridi K., Spiliotis V., Ladikos D., Moutsatsou P., Koutinas A., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
In the present study different environmental and industrial waste streams are assessed as feedstock for the production of bioplastics adequate to be used for food packaging applications or for the formation of fully biodegradable garbage bags. For the production of bioplastics i.e...Read more
Acclimation of microbial consortia on acidogenic effluents for enhanced production of polyhyrtoxyalkanoates.
Rokizas S., Kora E., Kalogirou T., Antonopoulou G., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
The aim of the present study was to develop efficient MMCs via their acclimation to a mixture of volatile fatty acids, sugars, and lactate i.e. the acidogenic effluents of a hydrogen-generating bioreactor processing food wastes. Acclimation was conducted under sequential carbon (C) and nitrogen (N...Read more
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) Production from the Liquid Fraction of dried/shredded Food Waste
Filippou K., Bouzani E., Kora E., Ntaikou I., (Corresponding) Papadopoulou K., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
An enriched culture of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs)-forming bacteria was developed using the liquid fraction (condensate) which is generated during drying and shredding of food waste. A mixed enriched culture was used for the production of PHAs, in two Draw-Fill Reactors (DFRs). The culture was...Read more
PLA based nanocomposites with Cellulosic and Lignocellulosic nanofibers as a biodegradable solution for green food packaging
(Corresponding) Tsaousis P., Andrikopoulos K., Mathioudakis G., Beobide A., Sideri S., Deze E., Voyiatzis G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
The HIPERION project aims at the sustainable production of various types of nanocellulose, such as microfibrillated cellulose (MFC), cellulose nano-fibrils (CNF), nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), for the development of high-performance industrial materials for...Read more
