produces and markets PLA (polylactic acid), a bioplastic that can be manufactured from sugarcane or starch. Bio-based PLA can also be recycled and composted. This polymer is suitable for packaging, ...

GAG mimetics were synthesized from cellulose (pSC), starch (SS), and chitin (ChS). pSC has beta-glycosidic linkages, SS has alpha-glycosidic linkages, and ChS has beta-glycosidic linkages and monomers ...

Polymers are either natural or synthetic macromolecules composed of many repeating units (monomers) usually arranged in the form of a chain. Examples of polymers are silk, rubber, silicone, DNA ...

Starch is made of long strings of molecules, or polymers. As they absorb water and swell, the polymers bond with casein and prevent the whey proteins from clustering. The traditional method of ...

This sugar is a substrate for the synthesis of extracellular polymers (EPS), termed glucans, by glucosyltransferases (Gtfs ... the World Health Organization has recommended that the high energy intake ...
