Polysaccharides constitute over 90% of the carbohydrate mass in nature, which makes them a promising feedstock for manufacturing sustainable materials. Polysaccharide particles (PSPs) are used as effective scavengers, carriers of chemical and biological cargo, and as building blocks for the fabrication of macroscopic materials. The biocompatibility and degradability of PSPs are advantageous for their uses as biomaterials with more environmental friendliness. This review highlights the progresses in PSP applications as advanced functional materials, by describing PSP extraction, preparation, and surface functionalization with a variety of functional groups, polymers, nanoparticles, and biologically active species. This review also outlines the fabrication of PSP‐derived materials, as well as their applications in soft robotics, sensing, scavenging, water harvesting, drug delivery, and bioengineering. The paper is concluded with an outlook providing perspectives in the development and applications of PSP‐derived materials.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved

The encapsulation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) in microbeads is an essential step in drug delivery; however, it is also inherently associated with the need to control particle size and drug release profiles. Nevertheless, most conventional methods of microencapsulation fail to provide consistent results. A new method called vibration-assisted microbead coating is a novel unified technique utilizing mechanical vibrations to enable the controlled, uniform coating of microbeads on APIs. This chapter discusses the technology of vibration-assisted encapsulation performed by the authors through microbead formation and the physical activity of coating APIs. This chapter focuses on achieving uniform control of the final coated surface of the API, microbead shape, size, and loading through vibration parameters. Additionally, this chapter discusses the biocompatibility and stability of the final coated surface. This new means of encapsulation has high potential for drug delivery. This method reduces most of the traditional challenges of encapsulation, if not eliminates them, and is more reliable. Based on the abovementioned findings, the authors propose the following main areas for their further work: optimisation of vibration parameters for various APIs, research into the long-term stability of the loading–release profile, and possible use of the technique in targeted drug delivery.

The widespread use of plastics in beverage packaging has led to the accumulation of microplastics (MPs) and nanoplastics (NPs) in beverages, which poses significant environmental and health hazards. This review explores the sources, entry pathways, and risk factors for MPs and NPs in beverages, emphasizing their toxicological profiles and harmful effects on human health and the environment. Methods for detecting MPs and NPs in beverages are discussed, highlighting the need for standardized testing protocols. Furthermore, future solution strategies, challenges, and preventive measures for mitigating MP and NP contamination in beverages are proposed, including advanced filtration systems, the development of alternative packaging materials, and the strengthening of regulatory standards. Collaborative efforts among industry stakeholders, scientific institutions, and policymakers are essential to address this complex issue and ensure the safety and purity of beverages for consumers worldwide.
