Sugar beet pulp fibers show potential for nutritional supplements and sustainable plastic alternatives
New technology can separate the fibers in the sugar beet pulp left over after sugar production. Part of the fiber can be used as a nutritional supplement due to its anti-inflammatory properties and beneficial effects on our gut flora. Another part of the fiber, the cellulose, can be made into components to replace, for example, plastic.
