TL;DR: In this article, a new method for high-yield protein extraction from BSG with deep eutectic solvents (DESs) is reported, based on microscopy, it is proposed that the high extraction yield was due to dissolution of proteins insoluble by nature or denatured during the brewing process.

Identification and surface structure of crystalline cellulose studied by atomic force microscopy
TL;DR: In this article, a combination of molecular modelling and atomic force microscopy (AFM) techniques was used to study the surface structure of crystalline cellulose, which enabled the structural analysis of cellulose surfaces at the molecular level, where all biological processes involving cellulose take place.

Emmi Maria Nuutinen,Pia Willberg-Keyriläinen,Tommi Virtanen,Alice Mija,Lauri Kuutti,Raija Lantto,Anna Stiina Jääskeläinen +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, feathers were processed with an aqueous DES to produce a uniform keratin feedstock, which is composed of non-toxic sodium acetate and urea, with a small amount of water.

Jaakko Hiltunen,Lauri Kuutti,Stella Rovio,Eini Puhakka,Tommi Virtanen,Taina Ohra-aho,Sauli Vuoti +6 more
TL;DR: A new low melting mixture composition based in boric acid and choline chloride is presented, and its efficiency in the fractionation of wood-based biomass for the production of non-condensed lignin is demonstrated, suitable for further use in the search for sustainable industrial applications and for the selective conversion of hemicelluloses into valuable platform chemicals.
Extraction of xylan from wood pulp and brewer’s spent grain
Christiane Laine,Katariina Kemppainen,Lauri Kuutti,Antero Varhimo,Sari Asikainen,Antti Grönroos,Marjo Määttänen,Johanna Buchert,Ali Harlin +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentration of alkali and the extraction temperature were studied as parameters for xylan yield and mass balance in the extraction of bleached birch kraft pulp.
