Utilization of Sugar Beet-Derived Biopolymers for Material Applications

Abstract

Methods and compositions are described for a sugar beet molasses polymer composition produced from sugar beet biomass, including from sugar beet molasses. Polymer compounds and polymer coatings are provided. The polymers can be formulated as coating compositions for use on medical devices. The polymer coatings can be antimicrobial and can have antioxidant properties. The polymer coatings can promote cell adhesion. The polymer can be formulated into coatings, growth media, packaging, cosmetics, personal care products. Formulations including the material can improve biocompatibility, as well as producing antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant features for health-related methods and products.
