SKILLEN, N., WELGAMAGE, A., ROBERTSON, P.K.J., IRVINE, J.T.S. and LAWTON, L.A. 2023. Photocatalytic conversion of cellulose into C5 oligosaccharides. Journal of physics: energy [online], 6(1), article number 015002. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1088/2515-7655/ad04f1

Cellulose is made up of linear polymers of glucose monomers that could be a crucial source for valuable chemicals and sustainable liquid fuels. Cellulose is however, very stable and its conversion to a useful fuel or platform chemical products remain... Read More about Photocatalytic conversion of cellulose into C5 oligosaccharides..

Valorisation of whisky distillery waste as a sustainable source of antioxidant and antibacterial properties with neuroprotective potential. (2023)
Journal Article
BLAIKIE, L., WELGAMAGE DON, A., FRANZEN, X., FERNANDEZ, C., FAISAL, N. and KONG THOO LIN, P. [2023]. Valorisation of whisky distillery waste as a sustainable source of antioxidant and antibacterial properties with neuroprotective potential. Waste and biomass valorization [online], Online First. Available from: https://doi.org/10.1007/s12649-023-02292-4

Waste by-products such as pot ale are abundantly produced during the whisky distillation process and are conventionally used as livestock feed, however a significant proportion continues to require land and sea disposal. Here, the novel potential of... Read More about Valorisation of whisky distillery waste as a sustainable source of antioxidant and antibacterial properties with neuroprotective potential..
