A review on poly lactic acid (PLA) as a biodegradable polymer

Nur-Azzah Afifah Binti Taib et al.

Summary: Biodegradable plastics, particularly poly lactic acid (PLA), have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional petroleum-based plastics, due to their wide availability, safe decomposition, and comparable properties to traditional plastics. The demand for PLA has led to a steady growth in the global market, making it a popular choice in various industries.

Growth of marine macroalgaeEctocarpussp. on various textile substrates

Stefan Seboek et al.

Summary: Marine macroalgae cultivation has diverse applications and does not compete with land-based food crops. New technologies allow cultivation on land and not just in coastal or offshore areas. However, providing ideal conditions and economically sustainable harvesting remains a challenge.

Pilot scale photobioreactor system for land-based macroalgae cultivation

Tonia Annick Schmitz et al.

Summary: Marine macroalgae like Ulva intestinalis have potential as feedstock for cosmetics and pharmaceuticals, but the variability in quantity and quality of naturally grown algae limits their exploitability. The expansion of marine or shore-based cultivation systems in Europe is unlikely due to potential sites being in fishing zones, recreational areas, or natural reserves.

Sustainability of Vertical Farming in Comparison with Conventional Farming: A Case Study in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, on Nitrogen and Phosphorus Footprint

Jiarui Liu et al.

Summary: Vertical farming (VF) has lower environmental impact compared to conventional farming due to reduced nutrient requirements. This study evaluated the environmental impacts of VF in a case study of vegetable VF in Miyagi Prefecture, Japan, and quantified the potential reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus emissions. The results showed that VF can decrease nitrogen and phosphorus footprints and reduce dependence on imports.

Chitin Isolation and Chitosan Production from House Crickets (Acheta domesticus) by Environmentally Friendly Methods

Marios Psarianos et al.

Summary: Alternative methods for chitin isolation from Acheta domesticus were evaluated. The study found that the alternative process, combining L. lactis fermentation with bromelain deproteinization, can replace the chemical process and produce chitosan with similar properties in terms of chitin content, antioxidant activity, and degree of deacetylation.

Safety of frozen and dried formulations from whole house crickets (Acheta domesticus) as a Novel food pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283

Dominique Turck et al.

Summary: The novel food derived from house crickets consists mainly of protein, fat, and fiber, available in frozen and dried forms. The safety of the novel food is ensured if it complies with the proposed specification limits and it is stable throughout its shelf-life. Consumption of the novel food is not found to be disadvantageous nutritionally for the general population.

Current Status of the Algae Production Industry in Europe: An Emerging Sector of the Blue Bioeconomy

Rita Araujo et al.

Summary: The EU Bioeconomy Strategy is aimed at supporting the sustainable growth of EU bio-based sectors, including algae production. This study reveals significant gaps in knowledge about algae production in Europe, but also highlights the potential of the sector. Algae and Spirulina biomass is primarily used for food and food-related applications, with technological, regulatory, and market barriers limiting further development despite the considerable potential for sustainable growth in the European algae sector.

A Critical Appraisal of the Evidence Supporting Consumer Motivations for Alternative Proteins

Rachel Tso et al.

Summary: Alternative proteins are gaining global attention due to their perceived health, environmental, and animal welfare benefits, but lack strong evidence to support these claims. Significant research gaps remain, including longitudinal evidence on the sustained effects of replacing conventional animal-based proteins with alternative sources. Challenges exist in achieving desirable sensory properties akin to animal-based meat for many alternative proteins.

Growth performance of Acheta domesticus and Gryllus bimaculatus production reared under improvised cage system for increased returns and food security

C. A. Ngonga et al.

Summary: The study evaluated the growth performance of Acheta domesticus and Gryllus bimaculatus reared in an improvised cage system, finding that the improvised cage system showed better results in achieving high cricket productivity. Therefore, the focus should be on evaluating egg productivity in scrap blanket in relation to cotton wool and cost effectiveness in the improvised system to inform future farm decisions.

Ulva fenestrata protein - Comparison of three extraction methods with respect to protein yield and protein quality

L. Juul et al.

Summary: The study compares three protein extraction methods on Ulva fenestrata and finds that extraction at pH 8.5 yields the highest protein and best solubility. Alkaline extraction methods result in higher solubility and amino acid cross-links compared to mechanical extraction, but all methods show similar in vitro digestibility.

A 20-year retrospective review of global aquaculture

Rosamond L. Naylor et al.

Summary: The sustainability of aquaculture has been intensely debated since 2000, with major contributions coming from inland aquaculture in Asia. There have been significant advances in feed efficiency and fish nutrition, but reliance on marine ingredients remains a challenge. Molluscs and seaweed have potential for ecosystem services and global nutritional security, but their quantification, valuation, and market development are still underexploited.

Sustainable Large-Scale Aquaculture of the Northern Hemisphere Sea Lettuce, Ulva fenestrata, in an Off-Shore Seafarm

Sophie Steinhagen et al.

Summary: High seedling density is crucial for increasing the total biomass yield of sea-farmed U. fenestrata, while changes in temperature or nutrient additions overall do not have a large effect on the biochemical composition. This study contributes novel insights into the large-scale off-shore cultivation potential of northern hemisphere U. fenestrata.
