During the last decades, increasing ecology in reduction of environmental impact caused by traditional plastics is contributing to growth more sustainable with aim reduce consumption non-renewable resources for their production [...]

The features of the structure and properties raw materials, which are a source biopolymers natural origin presented. main focus theoretical part is paid to study process structuring (proteins polysaccharides). Practical approbation was carried out on example meat-containing meat chopped products semi-finished products.

The term “biopolymers” usually describes polymers produced in a natural way by living species. Their molecular backbones are composed of repeating units of saccharides, nucleic acids, or amino acids and sometimes various additional chemical side chains contributing also to their functionalities. If the largest part of biopolymers is extracted from biomass, such as polysaccharides from cellulose...

The folding of natural biopolymers into unique three-dimensional structures that determine their function is remarkable considering the vast number of alternative states and requires a large gap in the energy of the functional state compared to the many alternatives. This Perspective explores the implications of this energy gap for computing the structures of naturally occurring biopolymers, de...

Biopolymers and their applications have been widely studied in recent years. Replacing the oil based polymer materials with biopolymers in a sustainable manner might give not only a competitive advantage but, in addition, they possess unique properties which cannot be emulated by conventional polymers. This review covers the fabrication of porous materials from natural biopolymers (cellulose, c...
