Abstract
Description
[0001] SPECIFICATION
[0002] PROBIOTIC BACTERIA AND ALGAE-BASED RAW MATERIAL PRODUCTION
[0003] Technical Area
[0004] The invention in the form of a solution film and granules with the composition Probif / Agar I Agarose I Glycerin I Citric acid relates to the production of probiotic bacteria and algae-based raw materials for the production of food packaging, greenhouse cultivation, meat and cheese packaging, textile materials.
[0005] Background of the invention
[0006] Bio-based products are modem products made from renewable resources found in living organisms such as plants, animals and microorganisms. They are designed to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and harmful synthetic materials, paving the way for a greener, more environmentally friendly future.
[0007] Bio-based products are manufactured using bio-materials derived from living organisms such as plants, animals and microorganisms. These materials serve as raw materials for the production of various goods. The primary goal of bio-based product development is to reduce dependence on non-renewable resources such as fossil fuels and minimize the environmental impact associated with conventional production processes.
[0008] The main advantages of bio-based products lie in sustainability, lower carbon footprint, biodegradability, reduced toxicity and the potential to create diverse markets. By using renewable resources, bio-based products contribute to the preservation of ecosystems and minimize the depletion of finite resources. Their production also tends to emit fewer greenhouse gases and thus mitigates climate change.
[0009] In addition, many bio-based products exhibit biodegradability, allowing them to naturally break down into harmless substances, reducing long-term waste and pollution issues. Because they often contain fewer harmful chemicals and toxins, biobased products offer a safer alternative for consumers and the environment.
[0010] Examples of bio-based products include biodegradable plastics from agricultural crops, biofuels from plant sources, natural personal care products formulated with plant extracts, and bio-based textiles made from materials such as bamboo or hemp. These products find applications in industries ranging from packaging to automotive components and contribute to the sustainable development of our society.
[0011] The growing demand for bio-based products reflects a growing awareness of environmental issues and the need for ecologically responsible solutions. As technology and research continue to advance, the range of bio-based products is expected to expand and offer new opportunities to reduce our ecological footprint and develop a more harmonious relationship between humanity and the environment.
[0012] Bio-based materials use biodegradable matrices and bio-based by-products as fillers.
[0013] The partial replacement of currently petroleum-derived plastics with innovative biobased materials that can be derived from low-cost, renewable natural resources is having a significant impact on the plastics and composites industries.
[0014] Bio-based products derived from renewable resources can have more advanced properties than commercial petroleum-based products. They also have enhanced recycling and biodegradability capacities.
[0015] Invention; Probiotic Bifidobacteria-based biomaterials are easy to biodegrade, beneficial to nature, do not need recycling, as well as the properties of the compounds it contains, such as carbon emission reduction, food preservative, low cost, brings a new non-petroleum raw material approach in agriculture, industry, packaging, packaging, food sectors.
[0016] Probiotic bacteria and algae-based biofilm material is a non-petroleum raw material invention created for the first time. The structural and characteristic features and all advantages of the invention will be more clearly understood by the detailed description below and therefore this evaluation should be made with these figures and detailed description in mind.
[0017] Detailed Description of the Invention
[0018] The components used in the production of biomaterials in this context are Probif (Probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis, Xyloooligosaccharide, Sodium alginate composite), Agar (Algae), Agarose (Algae agar), Glycerin and Citric acid.
[0019] The components used in the production of the biomaterial of the invention are as follows; Probif (Probiotic Bifidobacterium infantis, Xyloooligosaccharide, Sodium alginate composite), (100 gr) material contains the following by weight;
[0020] • Agar / Agarose (Algae) in the range 0.5-50%,
[0021] • 10% - 40% Glycerin,
[0022] • 1 % - 10% Citric acid
[0023] The process steps for the production of the invention probiotic bacteria and algae- based raw material are as follows:
[0024] • Agar is added to the Probif material dissolved in pure water at a temperature of 30-50°C in order to be eaten,
[0025] • Providing granule production conditions by converting film applicators (in Doctor Blade device) into film form for the production of non-edible granules and films, and creating the main raw material that can be used in industrial sectors by converting the main powder solution obtained by mixing 100 gr Probif powder content with the powdery material obtained by mixing of 0,5- 50% Agar / Agarose, 10% - 40% Glycerin and 1 % - 10% Citric acid in powder consistency obtained by mixing the materials in the extruder device in granule form. • The last step is to add Probif to the powdery material formed as a result of blending and mixing citric acid, glycerin and agar / agarose under room conditions and mixing it again under room conditions to form the main solution..
[0026] Agar / Agarose (Algae) is used in the content in the range of 0.5%-50% as 0.5, 1 , 1 .5% ... with a range of 0.5%.
[0027] The produced solution will be converted into film form in the Doktor Blade device. The powder form of the material will be produced in granule form in the Extruder device.
[0028] It is obvious that a person skilled in the art can also demonstrate the innovation set forth in the invention by using similar embodiments and / or can apply this embodiment to other areas with similar purposes used in the relevant art. Therefore, it is also obvious that such constructions will lack the criterion of novelty and especially the criterion of exceeding the state of the art.
