Assessment of yields and properties of bioplastics production from acidified sugary wastewaters via mixed microbial cultures
Kora E., Tsaousis P., Andrikopoulos K., Chasapis C., (Corresponding) Ntaikou I., Voyiatzis G., Lyberatos G.
Topic:
Bioplastics
A mixed microbial culture (MMC) of poly-hydroxy-alkanoates (PHAs) producers was developed in a draw- fill reactor (DFR) subjected to sequential nitrogen/carbon limitation stress using short chain fatty acids (SCFAs) as carbon source. The distribution of microorganisms was analyzed in the beginning...Read more
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
