Description
Marianna Ciccone and co-authors free useful polymers from yeast waste in a 2024 study. Yeast cell walls hold beta-glucans and mannoproteins, prized for green food packaging. The tough wall resists extraction, though. The team test physical methods on bakery yeast and brewery spent yeast.
High-pressure homogenization shattered cells fully and freed the most material. Pulsed electric fields mainly poked holes in cell membranes. Heat paired with each method added stress and partial break-up. Beta-glucan yields rose sharply, most of all in brewery yeast. The results chart a cleaner route to packaging polymers from a waste stream that breweries produce in bulk.
