“…Comparing the obtained results (Table S2), the aforementioned degradation steps presented a maximum in their derivative curve at higher temperatures, including the T d5 and T d10 as the severity of the SE process increased. This behaviour was observed previously in the lignocellulosic samples treated by SE, such as sugarcane [62] or broccoli wastes [63] and is attributed to the removal of low molecular weight compounds by the SE process. The differences between the treated and untreated feathers at Td 10 is higher than the ones between the SE treated feathers at different severities.…”

“…Additionally, as can be observed in the displayed images, an increase of the roughness is produced as the severity factor of the SE increase. This modification of the surface of the particles as a result of the SE treatment was reported previously for different materials [63,64], and is produced as a result of the physical process that took place during the tearing of the material and the posterior pressure release of the SE. This increase of the roughness is more noticeable in feathers treated under the most severe conditions (severity factor above 2.66) whereas in less treated feathers, the surface of the particles is still smooth.…”

Feather waste is a major issue from an economic and environmental point of view. Even though there are already routes for the valorisation of feathers into fertilisers and feather meal, these are considered to have low added value. For more attractive applications, for example in agricultural biodegradable plastics, higher and faster degradability in soil is required. To face this challenge alternative approaches to accelerate biodegradation and disintegration processes are needed. In this context, steam explosion appears as an effective technology to modify the structure of feather and improve its soil degradability. In this work, chicken feathers were treated by steam explosion and the effect of treatment on their structure and physico-chemical and thermal properties were evaluated. Finally, the effect of the process conditions on the disintegration and biodegradation in soil of feathers was also investigated, finding an increased degradation in soil of steam explosion treated feathers. These results open up the possibilities of using feather waste as a component for environmentally friendly agricultural bioplastics that can be degraded in-situ in soil.

“…Steam explosion is an effective pretreatment approach often used in the modi cation of plant bres, extraction of substances, etc. (Ma et al, 2022). The process uses steam as a medium to maintain an environment of high temperature and pressure for a period of time and then quickly releases the system to atmospheric pressure, converting thermal energy into mechanical energy (Yu et al, 2022).…”

To reduce the adverse physical effects on the oral mucosa caused by excessive hardness of betel nut fibres, steam explosion was used to soften betel nuts. The effect of 3 operating parameters (pressure holding time, explosion pressure and initial moisture content) on the morphology, texture and chemical composition of the betel nuts was investigated. The fibre hardness and Shore hardness decreased by 56.17%-89.28% and 7.03%-34.29%, respectively, and the transverse tensile strength and fibre tensile strength also decreased by up to 60.72% and 24.62%, respectively. Moreover, the coefficient of friction and moisture content increased. After steam explosion, the betel nut increased in transverse diameter, became darker and more yellow‒red in colour, and showed a damaged microstructure. The contents of lignin, hemicellulose, free phenol, bound phenol and alkaloids decreased after steam treatment, with total phenols and alkaloids decreasing from 44.07 mg(GAE)/g and 7.84 mg/g to 30.61 mg(GAE)/g and 6.50 mg/g, respectively, after the A-50 s treatment condition. A slight increase in cellulose was observed when steam explosion conditions exceeded 80 s or 0.75 MPa. The steam explosion increased the quantity of phenols, alkaloids and soluble solids released from the betel nut under the same simulated release conditions. The research also showed that the explosion efficiency was positively correlated with the pressure holding time and explosion pressure, while the initial moisture content was reduced the explosion efficiency. Therefore, steam explosion is an effective pretreatment approach to soften betel nut and facilitate healthy development of the betel nut industry.

The effect of three operating parameters (pressure holding time, explosion pressure, and initial moisture content) on the morphology, texture, and chemical composition of the betel nuts was investigated.

Moreover, the coefficient of static friction and moisture content increased. After steam explosion, the betel nut increased in transverse diameter, became darker and more yellow–red in color, and showed a damaged microstructure. The contents of free phenol and alkaloids decreased after steam explosion treatment, with free phenols and total alkaloids decreasing from 34.32 mg(GAE)/g and 7.84 mg/g to 21.58 mg(GAE)/g and 6.50 mg/g, respectively, after the A‐50 s treatment condition. The steam explosion increased the quantity of phenols, alkaloids, and soluble solids released from the betel nut under the same simulated release conditions of the texture analyzer. The research also showed that increased pressure holding time and explosion pressure enhanced the explosion efficiency, while the initial moisture content was reduced the explosion efficiency. Therefore, steam explosion is an effective pretreatment approach to soften betel nut and facilitate healthy development of the betel nut industry.
