Biocomposite Films for Food Packaging – An Important Proponent of Biorefineries
The traditional biodiesel sector could be reconfigured into a unique biorefinery that produces protein isolates and antioxidants using sunflower meal (SFM) and fermented goods from crude glycerol, like bacterial cellulose (BC). The expansion of biorefineries will only be viable if commercially viable bio-based goods that can rival petroleum-based analogs are produced.
