“…Previous works supported that conclusion, regardless of the selected mixing process (e.g., extrusion, shear mixer). 36,37 Rigid fillers, such as calcium carbonate and wood fibres, have increased the tensile modulus of composites regardless of the contact interface. [36][37][38] The initial addition of the coupling mixture into the PLA/wood fibre composites was responsible for the tensile modulus decay when the opposite behaviour was expected.…”

“…CP applied to WB at the laboratory level costs about 4$ per kilogram of bran [ 97 ]. This cost can be recovered considerably due to the high-value biocomposites, such as dietary fiber and phenolic acids extracted from fermented wheat bran, a future-oriented perspective for cereal processors and growers.…”

Current research focuses on improving the bioaccessibility of functional components bound to cereal bran cell walls. The main bioactive components in cereal bran that have major biological activities include phenolic acids, biopeptides, dietary fiber, and novel carbohydrates. Because of the bound form in which these bioactive compounds exist in the bran matrix, their bioaccessibility is limited. This paper aims to comprehensively analyze the functionality of an integrated technology comprising pretreatment techniques applied to bran substrate followed by fermentation bioprocesses to improve the bioaccessibility and bioavailability of the functional components. The integrated technology of specific physical, chemical, and biological pretreatments coupled with fermentation strategies applied to cereal bran previously-pretreated substrate provide a theoretical basis for the high-value utilization of cereal bran and the development of related functional foods and drugs.

As food consumption increases, so does the number of agricultural by-products. That is why it is necessary to find the best possible uses for them, operating by the principles of the bioeconomy. This work aims to gather information on the possibilities of using grain byproducts to develop new products and evaluate which bran products are the most suitable for commercialisation based on economic, environmental, social, and technical factors. Two methods were used in this work: literature review and multi-criteria decision analysis. As a result, 30 products were identified that could be made by using wheat bran, straw, husk, and dust. The products were divided into six groups – packaging materials, building materials, adsorbents, fuel, thermal insulation materials, and chemicals. In multi-criteria decision analysis, it was looked at seven bran products of which the best alternative for further commercialisation is mycelium-based biocomposite.
