🍄This Flav’s Fungi Friday let's talk about chitin (pronounced KITE-in)— the fungi version of plant cellulose, giving them that strong, flexible cell wall! But did you know that you'll also find chitin in insect exoskeletons and shellfish shells too?! Who knew fungi, bugs, and seafood have so much in common?! I love it when food has other applications too- chitin is also disrupting in the sustainability department. One of its derivative is called chitosan. Its biodegradable nature makes it incredibly versatile for eco-friendly innovations such as biodegradable packaging offering, in wound dressings, and even in water purification where it’s used to filter out heavy metals and contaminants. 💦🩹🍄 _ _ #DrFlav #FungiFriday #MushrooomFacts #SustainableEating #FutureOfFood #NutritionScience 

Creating a prototype of edible film from our product carrageenan aligns well with a Blue Ocean Strategy by leveraging carrageenan's unique properties to carve out a new market. Carrageenan, a natural polysaccharide from red seaweed, is widely used as a gelling, thickening, and stabilizing agent. Its biocompatibility, edibility, and sustainability make it an ideal ingredient for innovative edible films. #ediblefilm #biodegradable #instanfoods #blueocean #innovation #packaging

Today's interesting fact about grapes: In 2023, the global vineyard surface area amounted to about 7.2 million hectares. 🌍🍇 So what? This statistic provides a unique perspective. It represents a significant opportunity for a circular economic approach in this sector, leading to products with numerous advantages and applications. Through our lens, we seized this opportunity and created high-quality grapeseed oil suitable for the cosmetics, culinary, and pharmaceutical industries. 🌿✨ Not only that, but we also produce grape biopellets. The takeaway: Embrace the opportunity and implement more green practices! Consider our sustainable grapeseed oil, grown by Green Gold International! 🌱💚 #GrapeSeedOil #CircularEconomy #SustainableBusiness #Sustainability
