Fabrication of bioaerogels from camelina seed mucilage for food applications

Food-grade aerogels were fabricated from camelina seed mucilage for the first time using a green approach based on supercritical carbon dioxide (SC–CO2). A high mucilage yield (11%, w/w) was obtained from camelina seed by water extraction. Drying of the extracted mucilage solution prior to the aerogel formation was eliminated by coupling the extraction of the mucilage with the hydrogel formation. The camelina mucilage aerogels exhibited high...
