Biobased Materials from Microbial Biomass and Its Derivatives

This review explores how scientists are creating environmentally friendly materials using microorganisms like yeast, fungi, and bacteria instead of petroleum. These microbial-based materials can form flexible films suitable for food packaging and other applications. They are biodegradable, renewable, and can even be made from waste products generated by brewing and other industries. This approach offers a sustainable solution to plastic pollution while supporting a circular economy.

Enhancing Viability of Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG and Total Polyphenol Content in Fermented Black Goji Berry Beverage Through Calcium–Alginate Encapsulation with Hydrocolloids

Researchers developed a special technique to protect beneficial bacteria (Lactobacillus rhamnosus GG) in black goji berry juice so they survive the harsh conditions of the stomach and intestines. They used a coating made from alginate combined with ingredients like carrageenan or gelatin, which created a protective shield around the bacteria and helpful plant compounds. When this coated juice was taken with milk, the bacteria survived even better, making it a promising new way to deliver probiotics through plant-based beverages instead of traditional dairy products.
