Utilization of gamma irradiated emulsified frying oil wastes as a carbon source for sustainable and economical production of bacterial cellulose membrane.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a nanofibrils macromolecule that possesses unique properties and versatile applications in various fields. For commercial production, agro-industrial wastes were used as sustainable and cost effective alternative sources. Annually, a great amount of frying oil wastes are produced worldwide and disposed illegally resulting in huge environmental disasters. In this regard, the study aimed to investigate the effect of different concentration and increasing doses of gamma irradiation on the potential utilization of emulsified FOW as carbon source for BC production. In addition to tracking the behavior of SCOBY and BCM formation process in the presence of FOW.

Methodology

The effect of different factors including; concentrations of FOW, incub
