Synthesis of bacterial cellulose and bacterial cellulose nanocrystals for their applications in the stabilization of olive oil pickering emulsion

Bacterial Cellulose as a Raw Material for Food and Food Packaging Applications

“…BC and bacterial cellulose nanocrystals (BCNC) are hydrophilic due to the high density of hydroxyl groups on their surfaces (Dankovich and Gray, 2011), while hydrophobic interactions result from the crystalline organization and extensive hydrogen bonding of chains, making them amphiphilic (Lindman et al, 2010;Kalashnikova et al, 2012;Yan et al, 2017), property that have been applied to stabilize surfactant-free Pickering emulsions (Kalashnikova et al, 2011(Kalashnikova et al, , 2012Yan et al, 2017).…”

“…When comparing BC and BCNC for their emulsion stabilization performances in O/W emulsions (with olive oil), Yan et al (2017) reported that BCNCs presented higher thermal stability as well as better emulsifying performance, which was ascribed not only to their size, but also to their highly negative zeta potential derived from the sulfate groups formed on sulfuric acid hydrolysis.…”

Cellulose Nanomaterials in Biomedical, Food, and Nutraceutical Applications: A Review

“…Bacterial cellulose and bacterial cellulose nanocrystals were synthesized and evaluated for their applications in the stabilization of the olive oil Pickering emulsion by optical microscope and fluorescent microscope. Bacterial cellulose nanocrystals exhibited high thermal stability and good emulsifying performance . A hydrogel nanocomposite films with anticancer properties were designed via incorporation of graphene quantum dot as a nanoparticle into carboxymethyl cellulose hydrogel, and using doxorubicin as model drug with broad spectrum anticancer properties.…”

Rice Bran, an Alternative Nitrogen Source for Acetobacter xylinum Bacterial Cellulose Synthesis

“…7. Per the results, apart from sample B, all other samples demonstrated three major crystalline peaks at 2θ = 14.7°, 16.8°, and 22.7° corresponding to the (−110), (110), and (200) crystal planes indicating the typical cellulose I (Yan et al 2017). However, a general observation indicated a gradual transformation from a highly crystalline structure to a very amorphous structure from sample A to sample D (Wang et al 2017b).…”
