Isolation of pectin from the cell wall of plant-based side streams using conventional and innovative extraction technologies KU Leuven
In the frame of circular economy and bio-based thinking, increased attention is given towards the valorization of food waste, preferably by producing new products/ingredients thereof with high added value. In this context, the doctoral project will investigate different sequences of unit operations to stabilize and disrupt plant-based biomass to have an optimal extraction yield of cell wall polysaccharides with a proper technological ...
