Swedish researchers turning baker’s yeast into glue
Most people can relate to baker’s yeast and what it can be used for. However, a recent feasibility study carried out by EcoBuild and RISE has shown there might be more areas of application to the yeast than previously thought. The idea of fungal protein being used to produce glue has so far been unknown to the research community. However, a recently published study has shown successful results from trials with pre-treated baking yeast, which could lead to a breakthrough for bio-based adhesives. The research itself is a result from collaboration between RISE and the EcoBuild competence
