Functional Amyloids: The Biomaterials of Tomorrow?

Advanced Materials, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 36(18)

Published: Feb. 2, 2024

Abstract Functional amyloid (FAs), particularly the bacterial proteins CsgA and FapC, have many useful properties as biomaterials: high stability, efficient, controllable formation of a single type amyloid, easy availability extracellular material in biofilm flexible engineering to introduce new properties. particular has already demonstrated its worth hydrogels for stable gastrointestinal colonization regenerative tissue engineering, cell‐specific drug release, water‐purification filters, different biosensors. It also holds promise catalytic amyloid; existing weak unspecific activity can undoubtedly be improved by targeted benefit from repetitive display active sites on surface. Unfortunately, FapC remains largely unexplored no application is described so far. Since shares common features with CsgA, this opens window development functional scaffold. The multiple imperfect repeats form platform novel properties, e.g., connecting linkers variable lengths. While exploitation potential still at an early stage, thorough understanding their molecular will pave way multifunctional fibrils which contribute toward solving societal challenges, ranging CO 2 fixation hydrolysis plastic nanoparticles.

From Soy Waste to Bioplastics: Industrial Proof of Concept

Biomacromolecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 25(3), P. 2033 - 2040

Published: Feb. 8, 2024

The global plastic waste problem is pushing for the development of sustainable alternatives, encouraged by stringent regulations combined with increased environmental consciousness. In response, this study presents an industrial-scale proof concept to produce self-standing, transparent, and flexible bioplastic films, offering a possible solution pollution resource valorization. We achieve combining amyloid fibrils self-assembled from food methylcellulose glycerol. Specifically, soy whey okara, two pivotal protein-rich byproducts tofu manufacturing, emerge as versatile precursors fibril formation development. An exhaustive feasibility involving transformation 500 L into ∼1 km (27 kg) films underscores potential technology. To extend practicality our approach, we further processed running kilometer film at industrial scale transparent windows paper-based packaging. mechanical properties water interactions novel are tested compared those commercially used films. By pioneering large-scale production biodegradable bioplastics sourced byproducts, work not only simultaneously addresses dual challenges but also practically demonstrates biopolymeric building block valorization materials in real-world scenarios.

Konjac glucomannan films incorporated pectin-stabilized Mandarin oil emulsions: Structure, properties, and application in fruit preservation

International Journal of Biological Macromolecules, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 267, P. 131292 - 131292

Published: April 4, 2024

To enhance the water-resistance and antibacterial properties of KGM films, mandarin oil (MO), was directly emulsified by pectin then dispersed to matrix. The effect MO concentration (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2 wt%) on performance film-forming emulsions as well emulsion films investigated. results revealed that could encapsulate protect MO, film matrix further contributed high stability emulsions. FT-IR, XRD, SEM suggested stabilized uniformly distributed in compatibility good interaction between highly dense compact structure. Furthermore, increasing effectively improved water-resistance, oxygen barrier, antimicrobial activity based films. 1.5 wt% loaded had highest tensile strength (72.22 MPa) water contact angle (θ = 95.73°), reduced WVP permeability about 25.8 % 32.8 times, respectively, prolonged shelf life strawberries for 8 days. As demonstrated, MO-loaded has considerable potential high-performance natural biodegradable active ensure food safety reduce environmental impacts.
