Adriana M. Aguilar-Torres, PhD student, was
co-funded by CiFOOD (1/3 rd; other funding sources
are AUFF and GSTS). The subject of her PhD
project is on the identification of building blocks for
the design of packaging materials that will close the
loop of circularity in a post-fossil fuel economy.
Plant polysaccharides from food and agricultural
waste constitute the main source of renewable and
biodegradable polymers (or polymeric networks).
The growth in the use of plastics has brought
millions of tons of plastic accumulation in the oceans
and landfills and it is therefore paramount to design
renewable-based biodegradable materials with
adequate permeability and mechanical properties.
This project aims at understanding the
supramolecular structure of food and agricultural
by-products, the isolation of valuable
polysaccharides, the investigation of their molecular
architecture, and their performance as food
packaging materials.
