Abstract This study focuses on the development of bioactive packaging materials by incorporating grape pomace and copper particles into polylactic acid (PLA) composites. The goal is to increase shelf life packaged foods while benefiting health consumers through use these active materials. 6 recipes composite based Proviplast 2624 plasticizer were obtained. additives added were: pomace, at 0.5%, 1% 1.5%, particles, formed using PEG 600 + CuSO₄, 2%, 5% 8%. Material characterization techniques: FTIR Spectroscopy, used chemical structure. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC): examined thermal transitions such as glass transition melting temperatures. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) differential thermogravimetry (DTG): evaluated stability degradation Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) atomic force (AFM): analyzed surface morphology Mechanical tests: tensile strength, elongation break flexibility. Thermal property analyzes revealed that acted plasticizers, reducing intermolecular forces between PLA chains, which decreased temperature (Tg), cold crystallization (Tcc) (Tm). addition composites, indicating a slight reduction in stability. transformation temperatures changed nature (exothermic or endothermic) varied with additive concentrations. properties indicated strength increasing concentration. Elongation longitudinal modulus elasticity increased significantly, especially improving flexibility PLA. These changes indicate material can absorb more energy before breaking, making it ductile suitable for flexible applications. Increased improved resistance ensure withstand demands packaging, handling shipping. combination flexibility, moderate makes PLA-based composites incorporated enhance aspect sustainability recycling agricultural waste, both ecological functional, viable option food packaging.

Rise in population, urbanisation, and socioeconomic growth have led to amplified food consumption, globally. Increased consumption of vegetable oil for frying cooking various items households, restaurants, cafeterias instigates the generation millions tons waste (WCO) across jurisdictions. Inappropriate disposal hazardous WCO blocks drainages, contaminates waterbodies, exacerbates environmental degradation. Conversion into valuable products remains a realistic sustainable strategy management. This review delves recent advances deployment as low-cost feedstock non-fuel such biolubricant, bioplasticizer, bioasphalt, 3D printing resin. In this regard, work describes generation, collection, pretreatment, characterisation products. addition, major challenges future research directions conversion are highlighted before conclusion.

Under dual pressures of energy scarcity and environmental pollution, the biobased polyester poly(ethylene furanoate) (PEF) is poised to dominate industry in future, overtaking conventional petroleum-based polyesters. Nonetheless, PEF discoloration a critical impediment its commercial success. Esterification reaction 2,5-furandicarboxylic acid (FDCA) ethylene glycol (EG) was developed at varying temperatures, yielding esterified products exhibiting degrees discoloration. The main compounds minor impurities all samples were accurately separated identified using ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography/high-definition mass spectrometry (UPLC-HDMS) techniques. chemical structure yellowing component determined by secondary (MS/MS), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometer. It can be concluded that different forms decarboxylated byproducts produced during esterification polycondensation, which resulted PEF. At same time, also present alcoholysis brown chips but absent white PET chips. These results clearly demonstrate direct relationship between decarboxylation. Overall, this work offers theoretical support insights for future research into discoloration, establishing solid foundation further development application.
