“…Nonetheless, the purification of lignocellulose for film fabrication necessitates intricate procedures, and the usually applied types are cellulose nanocrystals or cellulose nanofibrils, which require copious amounts of chemicals and energy, thus significantly reducing the sustainability of the lignocellulose film (Table S1). − Aside from cellulose sourced from wood, some bacterial species can produce cellulose, termed bacterial cellulose (BC). , Unlike lignocellulose, pure cellulose can be obtained easily from BC without any chemical treatments since it does not mix with hemicellulose, lignin, and pectin . Meanwhile, BC has other advantages over lignocellulose, including high barrier properties, high crystallinity, excellent mechanical properties, three-dimensional (3-D) network structure, and strong degradability, which make it the most promising candidate to replace petroleum-based packaging material.…”
