Lemon waste yields bioplastic more flexible than commercial counterpart, study finds

A new research article published in Polymers explores an innovative way to turn lemon processing residues into biopolymers. Authored by ANIPH's coordinator, CETEC, together with partners from companion projects Viss and PHAntastic, the study investigated the use of lemon industry byproducts as carbon sources for PHBV production using the halophilic archaeon Haloferax mediterranei.
