Healing properties of the stinky durian’s thorns Adrian Wilson 1st April 2021 Food scientists from Nanyang Technological University in Singapore (NTU Singapore) have made an antibacterial gel bandage using the discarded husks of the popular durian tropical fruit. Known as the King of Fruits in Southeast Asia, but with a highly pungent odour many find distasteful – it has been banned on public transport in certain regions – the durian has a thick husk with spiky thorns. The husk is discarded, while the sweet flesh surrounding the seeds on the inside is considered a delicacy. By extracting high-quality cellulose from the durian husks and combining it with glycerol – a waste by-product from the biodiesel and soap industry – NTU scientists created a soft gel, similar to silicon sheets, which can be cut into bandages of various shapes and sizes.
