Ecofunco_bbi

the overall objective of ecofunco is to select, extract and functionalise molecules such as proteins, cutin, polysaccharides, polyphenols, carotenoids, and fatty acids from readily available, low-valorised biomass sources. this will be used to develop new bio-based coatings for application on two different substrates, specifically cellulosic and plastic based. this will deliver materials for food and personal hygiene use that will offer better performance than currently-available products, as well as delivering more sustainable end of life options.
