Development of sustainable strategies for the valorization of whey-derived organic components, with a particular focus on lactose and proteins as renewable feedstocks for advanced materials.

Development of sustainable strategies for the valorization of whey-derived organic components, with a particular focus on lactose and proteins as renewable feedstocks for advanced materials. Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research Chemistry » Other Research is focused on the synthesis of bio-based polyesters from platform molecules generated through lactose hydrolysis and hydrogenation. Activities include the physicochemical characterization of the resulting polymers, assessment of their processing and manufacturing performance, and the...
