Sustainable valorization of industrial natural rubber serum: Process-relevant recovery and characterization of functional Hevea latex polysaccharide-rich fractions
• Industrial natural rubber serum is a process-ready biorefinery feedstock. • HLP-rich fractions were recovered from a continuous aqueous by-product stream. • Feedstock specification supported reproducible downstream fraction recovery. • NRS enabled integrated valorization into multiple value-added coproduct streams. • Functional assays provided secondary validation of process-relevant HLP fractions.
