科学家创造可持续的方式,把被强奸种子的废物变成人食用蛋白质。
Scientists create sustainable way to turn rapeseed waste into human-edible protein.
Heriot-Watt大学的研究人员开发了一种使用生态友好溶剂的方法,从油料生产的副产品,即油籽蛋糕中提取高质量的蛋白质。
Researchers at Heriot-Watt University have developed a method using eco-friendly solvents to extract high-quality protein from rapeseed press cake, a by-product of oil production.
该技术使用天然的深液溶剂和计算机模拟,有助于满足预计到2050年全球对蛋白质需求的增长。
The technique, which uses natural deep eutectic solvents and computer simulations, could help meet rising global protein demand expected by 2050.
目前,许多富含蛋白质的废物被用于动物饲料,但新的过程可能使这种废物能够用于人类食物。
Currently, much of the protein-rich waste is used for animal feed, but the new process may enable its use in human food.
虽然对可持续性和减少粮食浪费大有希望,但需要进行进一步研究,以优化大规模应用方法。
While promising for sustainability and reducing food waste, further research is needed to optimize the method for large-scale application.
