Article Synopsis
- The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by SARS-CoV-2, has significantly disrupted society since late 2019, affecting economic and social activities globally.
- To return to normalcy, it's vital to keep enclosed spaces like classrooms and offices open, which requires understanding how the virus spreads in these environments.
- A systematic review outlines factors influencing airborne transmission indoors and proposes infection risk assessment methods and effective mitigation strategies such as improved ventilation, mask usage, and managing room occupancy.
This study highlights the possibility of using brewers' grains (BSGs) for the successive extraction of the main lignocellulosic biopolymers, namely, cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin. An exhaustive chemical characterisation revealed a variability of composition in distinct batches of BSGs, depending on their origin and the brewing process used. In particular, the protein content can vary from 13wt% to 23wt%, which is accompanied by a change in the hemicelluloses content from 9% to 23% (in the samples of our study).
