An optimal biorefinery development for pectin and biofuels production from orange wastes without enzyme consumption Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Orange wastes, including peel and pulp, were used as a biorefinery feedstock to produce pectin, ethanol, and biogas. The orange wastes were subjected to dilute acid treatment with sulfuric acid (1% w/v) at 94, 100, 140, and 180 °C for 60, 30, and 0 min. The sulfuric acid treatment was performed for pectin extraction, sugars hydrolysis, and lignocellulose pretreatment. The pectin was extracted from the hydrolysate, the liquor was used to ...

Evaluation of apple pomace biochemical transformation to biofuels and pectin through a sustainable biorefinery Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The waste apple pomace, rich in free sugars and structural carbohydrates, can prove to be a good feedstock for biofuels and value-added chemicals production. In this work, apple pomace was used for the production of pectin and biofuels by applying dilute sulfuric acid (1% w/v) treatment. The treatment factors, i.e., temperature and residence time, were optimized to maximize the pectin and biofuels (bioethanol and methane) yields. The solid ...

Different thickening complexes with pectin in infant anti-regurgitation formula Vrije Universiteit Brussel
AIM: To summarise the results from four clinical trials assessing the efficacy and safety of a thickening complex in the management of regurgitation in infants.
METHODS: Infants (n = 392) younger than 5 months presenting with at least five regurgitations per day were recruited in four open-label, interventional, single-group, multi-centric clinical trials sharing an identical design. The efficacy of four different formulae thickened ...
