Optimization of nano cellulose extraction from timoho fiber using response surface methodology (RSM)

Innovative ionic liquid pretreatment followed by wet disk milling treatment provides enhanced properties of sugar palm nano-fibrillated cellulose

“…Table 2 elucidates the distinctive properties of the synthesized SNPC in comparison to diverse lignocellulosic biomasses. Interestingly, this study achieved a higher cellulose yield of 82 % from jack fruit peduncle [ 9 ], 45 % from red banana empty fruit bunches [ 15 ], 65–70 % from millet husk [ 83 ], 78 % from Cuscuta reflexa [ 84 ], 94.83 % from Sunn hemp [ 85 ], 89.39 % from Agave gigantea [ 86 ], 65 % from sugarcane bagasses [ 87 ], 23.54 % from rice husk [ 88 ] and 84.75 % from timoho fiber [ 89 ], respectively. This result highlights the feasibility and effectiveness of this approach as implemented on a larger scale.…”
