Valorization of waste proteins via partial hydrolysis and catalytic hydrogenation for incorporation into polymers. KU Leuven
The use of fossil feedstocks for the production of fuels and chemicals has led and still leads to growing environmental damage and concerns. Therefore, technologies are now developed for using bio-based feedstocks to replace the fossil counterparts. Especially the valorization of lignocellulosic biomass into chemicals has received much attention, whereas the use of proteins as feedstock is much less investigated. Nevertheless, proteins are ...
