Sugar beet pulp fibers show potential for nutritional supplements and sustainable plastic alternatives

Summary

Nutrition label

82% Informative

New technology can separate fibers in sugar beet pulp left over after sugar production.

Part of the fiber can be used as a nutritional supplement due to its anti-inflammatory properties and beneficial effects on our gut flora.

The fibers will be used in composite materials, which can be hard, soft or flexible.

The researchers' initial results show that it is possible to form different types of material from the sugar beet cellulose and that the materials have desirable properties. Intensive work is now underway to show that these materials can be gently disassembled and recycled several times. In addition, new enzymes and techniques have been developed that are expected to have a lasting impact on the gentle processing of plant materials into new products.
