“…For both static and agitated methods, culture medium is the most important part for BC production, which not only provides the necessary nutrients for bacterial growth and BC production, but also significantly impacts structures and yields of BC as well as its mechanical and physical properties (Jozala et al, 2016 ). A typical fermentation medium is at least comprised of a carbon source, a nitrogen source, and certain nutrient elements such as phosphorus, potassium, sulfur, and magnesium (Andriani et al, 2020 ). The typical culture medium used for BC production is first described by Hestrin and Schramm ( 1954 ).…”

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is a natural biomaterial synthesized by bacteria. It possesses a unique structure of cellulose nanofiber-weaved three-dimensional reticulated network that endows it excellent mechanical properties, high water holding capability and outstanding suspension stability. It is also characterized with high purity, high degree of crystallinity, great biocompatibility and biodegradability. Due to these advantages, BC has gained great attentions in both academic and industrial areas. This critical review summarizes the up-to-date development of BC production and application from an industrial perspective. Firstly, a fundamental knowledge of BC's biosynthesis, structure and properties is described, and then recent developments in the industrial fermentation of BC are introduced. Subsequently, the latest commercial applications of BC in the areas of food, personal care, household chemicals, biomedicine, textile, composite resin are summarized. Finally, a brief discussion of future development of BC industry is presented at the end.

“…However, with the advent of genome sequencing, genetic engineering appears as a more promising approach to obtain more stable and high-yield mutant strains, despite the regulatory issues that some fields may encounter [ 16 , 48 , 69 ]. BNC production methods were recently addressed in two different reviews [ 70 , 71 ] with discussion about several biotechnological approaches to optimize BNC production [ 70 ].…”

In the skin care field, bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), a versatile polysaccharide produced by non-pathogenic acetic acid bacteria, has received increased attention as a promising candidate to replace synthetic polymers (e.g., nylon, polyethylene, polyacrylamides) commonly used in cosmetics. The applicability of BNC in cosmetics has been mainly investigated as a carrier of active ingredients or as a structuring agent of cosmetic formulations. However, with the sustainability issues that are underway in the highly innovative cosmetic industry and with the growth prospects for the market of bio-based products, a much more prominent role is envisioned for BNC in this field. Thus, this review provides a comprehensive overview of the most recent (last 5 years) and relevant developments and challenges in the research of BNC applied to cosmetic, aiming at inspiring future research to go beyond in the applicability of this exceptional biotechnological material in such a promising area.

“…In the literature, there are two main approaches to bacterial cellulose functionalization: In situ and ex situ methods [ 86 ]. The most common strategy used for biopolymer composite synthesis is in situ technique, which involves the addition of reinforcing materials (e.g., sodium alginate, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), gelatin, agar, pectin, starch) to the culture medium at the beginning of the BNC production process ( Figure 2 ) [ 80 , 87 , 88 , 89 ]. The advantages of this modification are the simplicity and the fact that the added compounds become the part of the growing bacterial nanocellulose fibril network, which allows to obtain stable composites with desirable properties.…”

“…The main drawback of this modification type is the inability to use hydrophobic reinforcing compounds. In addition, only submicron or nano-sized particles can penetrate into bacterial cellulose pores [ 89 ]. Nevertheless, these functionalization methods have led to the improvement of the physicochemical properties of native BNC films, which brings new opportunities for their application on the food packaging market.…”

Bacterial Nanocellulose—A Biobased Polymer for Active and Intelligent Food Packaging Applications: Recent Advances and Developments

The aim of this review is to provide an overview of recent findings related to bacterial cellulose application in bio-packaging industry. This constantly growing sector fulfils a major role by the maintenance of product safety and quality, protection against environmental impacts that affect the shelf life. Conventional petroleum-based plastic packaging are still rarely recyclable and have a number of harmful environmental effects. Herein, we discuss the most recent studies on potential good alternative to plastic packaging—bacterial nanocellulose (BNC), known as an ecological, safe, biodegradable, and chemically pure biopolymer. The limitations of this bio-based packaging material, including relatively poor mechanical properties or lack of antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, can be successfully overcome by its modification with a wide variety of bioactive and reinforcing compounds. BNC active and intelligent food packaging offer a new and innovative approach to extend the shelf life and maintain, improve, or monitor product quality and safety. Incorporation of different agents BNC matrices allows to obtain e.g., antioxidant-releasing films, moisture absorbers, antimicrobial membranes or pH, freshness and damage indicators, humidity, and other biosensors. However, further development and implementation of this kind of bio-packaging will highly depend on the final performance and cost-effectiveness for the industry and consumers.
