An increasing number of industrial plants integrate the anaerobic digestion (AD) of the organic fraction of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) with a subsequent composting phase. To improve the plant productivity, a fraction of OFMSW digestate can be conv...
Solid-State Fermentation (SSF) offers a valuable process for converting agri-food by-products (AFBP) into high-value metabolites, with Yarrowia lipolytica 2.2ab (Yl2.2ab) showing significant potential under laboratory-scale controlled conditions; how...
Water hyacinth is an invasive weed that can valorize through the production of hydrolytic enzymes via solid-state culture. This study explores the application of Trichoderma harzianum in producing xylanases and endoglucanases on water hyacinth beds....
Vanillin is the compound widely used in the food industry as a flavoring agent. Currently, chemically synthesized vanillin provides the majority of the world’s supply. Due to the increase in consumer awareness, there is a change in preferences...
Winery wastewater (WWW) handling strategies often include co-treatment at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Despite this, definitive information regarding oxidation kinetics and process and performance impacts due to co-treatment is lack...
The best possible use of natural resources and the large amounts of trash produced by industrial and human activity is necessary for sustainable development. Due to the threat of global climate change and other environmental challenges, waste managem...
Despite many wineries being equipped with onsite wastewater treatment, winery wastewater (WWW) co-treatment at municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) remains a common practice in wine-making regions. The complex and highly variable nature of W...
Designing biomaterials for bone-substitute applications is still a challenge regarding the natural complex structure of hard tissues. Aiming at bone regeneration applications, scaffolds based on natural collagen and synthetic nanohydroxyapatite were...
Bone tissue engineering (BTE) emerged as a practical approach to tackle prosthetic industry limitations. We merge aspects from developmental biology, engineering and medicine with the aim to produce fully functional bone tissue. Mesenchymal stem cell...
