“…Also, there has been much interest and research related to cellulose fiber usage in composite materials for packaging (Johansson et al 2012;Faruk et al 2014). Research related to the use of nanocellulose in packaging applications also has been reviewed (Turbak et al 1983;Dufresne 2008Azeredo 2009;Eichhorn et al 2009;Oksman et al 2009;Habibi et al 2010;Siqueira et al 2010;Siro and Plackett 2010;Moon et al 2011;Olsson et al 2011;Petersen and Gatenholm 2011;Faruck et al 2012;Huber et al 2012;Khalil et al 2012Khalil et al , 2014Lavoine et al 2012;Freire et al 2013;Lopacka 2013;Paunonen 2013a,b;Sandquist 2013;Cowie et al 2014;Khan et al 2014a;Tammelin and Vartiainen 2014;Mihindukulasuriya and Lim 2014;Azizi Samir et al 2015;Hannon et al 2015;Li et al 2015a;Simao et al 2015;Gomez et al 2016;Khalil et al 2016). In particular, Lindström and Aulin (2014) reviewed research progress up to 2014, emphasizing some of the key unmet issues that are likely to continue to slow down progress in production-scale implementation of nanocellulose in packaging.…”

This review article was prompted by a remarkable growth in the number of scientific publications dealing with the use of nanocellulose (especially nanofibrillated cellulose (NFC), cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), and bacterial cellulose (BC)) to enhance the barrier properties and other performance attributes of new generations of packaging products. Recent research has confirmed and extended what is known about oxygen barrier and water vapor transmission performance, strength properties, and the susceptibility of nanocellulose-based films and coatings to the presence of humidity or moisture. Recent research also points to various promising strategies to prepare ecologically-friendly packaging materials, taking advantage of nanocellulose-based layers, to compete in an arena that has long been dominated by synthetic plastics. Some promising approaches entail usage of multiple layers of different materials or additives such as waxes, high-aspect ratio nano-clays, and surface-active compounds in addition to the nanocellulose material.While various high-end applications may be achieved by chemical derivatization or grafting of the nanocellulose, the current trends in research suggest that high-volume implementation will likely incorporate water-based formulations, which may include water-based dispersions or emulsions, depending on the enduses.

As of November 2016, a search of this combination of terms showed about as many publications since the start of 2015, compared to all preceding years combined. Given such an acceleration of research around the world, it makes sense to ask whether this high amount of research effort has yet borne significant fruit. In light of this question, the emphasis of this review article is on research publications that shed light on known challenges to the successful implementation of nanocellulose products to enhance the performance of packaging.In principle, a nano...

“…In particular, Reiling and Brickmann estimated the crystal modulus of polymorph I α as being between 128 and 161 GPa, and Eichhorn and Davies estimated it as being between 136 and 155 GPa . Regardless of the specific absolute value, the modulus of BNC is comparable with that of high-performance synthetic fibers such as aramid (130 GPa) and is above that of aluminum (70 GPa) and glass fibers (76 GPa) …”

In this study, we extensively describe experimental models, with correlating experimental conditions, which were used to investigate the enzymatic hydrolysis of bacterial cellulose (BC) to obtain nanocrystals. Cellulase from Trichoderma reesei was used in five enzyme/BC ratios over a period of h. The turbidity data was modeled using both logistic regression and empirical regression to determine the fractal kinetics, resulting in unique kinetic patterns for the mixtures that were richest in BC and in enzymes. The evolution of the yield was inversely related to the turbidity, as confirmed through a semi-empirical approach that was adopted to model the experimental data. The yield values after 74 h of hydrolysis were higher for the substrate-rich mixtures (~20%) than for the enzyme-rich mixtures (~5%), as corroborated by cellobiose and glucose quantification. Transmission electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy analyses revealed a shift from a fibril network to a needlelike morphology (i.e., aggregated nanocrystals or individual nanocrystals ~6 nm width and 200-800 nm in length) as the enzyme/BC ratios went from lower to higher. These results were explained in terms of the heterogeneous substrate model and the erosion model. This work initiated a promising, environmental-friendly method that could serve as an alternative to the commonly used chemical hydrolysis routes.

“…To enhance the application of nanotechnology in the food industry, finding new nanoscale edible materials becomes necessary. In the literature, some nano food grade materials (fiber or particles) have been reported, including starch (González and Villanueva ), fat (Truong and others ), chitosan (Chantarasataporn and others ), protein (Foegeding ), and cellulose (Olsson and others ).…”

Nanotechnology has become relevant in the food-related industries, and edible mushrooms can be a potential raw material for providing satisfied edible nanomaterial. In this study, by following 3 different pretreatments (hot water or cold alkali or hot alkali) insoluble polysaccharide nanoparticles were prepared from Flammulina velutipes by wet milling and high pressure homogenization and their properties were investigated. The resultant nanoparticles were characterized by SEM, GC-MS (for its main compositions), FTIR, XRD, and TG. The 1 wt% nanoparticle dispersions presented non-Newtonian, shear-thinning fluids with the viscosity in an increasing order for the hot water < cold alkali < hot alkali. Moreover, the dynamical rheological results showed differences of storage (G') and loss (G″) moduli of these particle dispersions. It was concluded that the Flammulina velutipes-derived polysaccharides nanoparticles have great potential applications in the food industry, for example, as emulsifiers, reinforcement agents, and bioactive carriers.
