Recovery and characterisation of high value functional proteins from leaf and vegetable sources for applications in the food sector

该项目探索应用创新的加工技术(包括微波和超临界二氧化碳)，将超临界水和可再生资源，如木质纤维和农业残渣转化为高价值化学品。将生物精炼模型应用于一系列生物资源将产生一系列有用的化学品，包括糖、蛋白质、平台分子和单体构件(用于聚合物生产，如PHA、二元酸等)。该项目将把知识提升到新的加工方法中，并探索如何将其应用于可再生资源。

The project explores the application of innovative processing technologies (including microwaves and scCO2) to convertUFSCW and renewable resources e.g lignocellulosic and agricultural residues into high-value chemicals. Application of abiorefinery model to a range of bioresources will yield a portfolio of useful chemicals including sugars, proteins, platformmolecules and monomeric building blocks (for polymer production e.g PHAs, di-acids etc).The project will advanceknowledge into novel processing methodologies and explore how they can be applied to renewable resources.
