Production of Biological Inks from Food Waste for 3D Printers – | Iranian and world news

In a recent article published in the Nature Food Journal with an impact of 4.1, Morteza Akbashloo, a professor of agricultural faculty at the University of Tehran, has shown that food waste, which is a large environmental and economic problem, can be used to produce a large -scale printing.

Agbashloo, stating that this article, titled “Food Loss and Waste Valorization Offers a Suustainable Source of Biopolymers in Bioinks for 3D Printing” examines 3D printing technology capacities in exploitation of waste and casualties, said: Dietary waste that can be a great environmental and economic problem, can be a great deal of life. Convert the production of biological inks used in 3D printing.

The professor of agricultural faculty, pointing out that in this study, various aspects of the subject, including the technical and mechanical features of biomaterials, printability, economic value added and their role in promoting environmental sustainability were examined, adding that the article emphasizes that the use of foods can lead to nutrients, such as nutrients.

The findings of this article show that smart use of food waste in the form of bio -inks can not only help reduce food waste and greenhouse gas emissions, but also in line with the goals of the UN sustainable development, will play an important role in improving food security, promoting public health and expanding industrial innovation.

In this study, in addition to Dr. Morteza Agbashloo, a professor at the University of Tehran, colleagues from Ireland, China and Malaysia participated.
