“…cosmetic formulation. This implementation is an example where amphiphilic hemicellulose-based fatty micelles were synthesized with potential application in drug delivery, food, and cosmetics industries due to long-lasting stability (Shen et al, 2021). As mentioned in section Introduction, the main component of BSG is hemicellulose which accounts for 25% of its total weight and can also be incorporated into the formulation of cosmetic products as the amphiphilic stabilizer.…”

Brewers' spent grain (BSG) is the main by-product derived from the brewing industry, where it accounts for 85% of the total waste generated. The total annual production worldwide of this waste is 39 million tons. This lignocellulosic material is traditionally used as cattle feed and sold at a low retail price (~USD 45.00 per ton). However, efforts for the revalorization of this by-product are emerging since research has established that it can be used as a low-cost source of bioactive molecules and commodity chemicals that can bring value to integral biorefinery ventures. Among commodities, phenolic compounds have attracted attention as added-value products due to their antioxidant properties with applications in the food, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries. These phytochemicals have been associated with antiaging and anticancer activities that have potential applications on cosmetic products. This mini-review summarizes the most relevant extraction techniques used for the recovery of phenolic compounds from BSG while discussing their advantages and shortcomings and the potential applications from BSG bioactive extracts in the cosmetic industry and their reported beneficial effects. This mini-review also makes a brief comment on the role of phenolic compounds extraction in the economic feasibility of an integral BSG biorefinery.

“…Regardless of the preparation method, the composites retain the antimicrobial capacity of Chi, have a more flexible structure than BC alone, and preserve the biodegradability and biocompatibility of both polymers [ 110 , 111 , 112 ]. In recent studies, BC membranes were immersed in Chi and Chi–ferulic acid solution to produce membranes with antimicrobial activity [ 112 , 113 ]. Biophysical studies using spectroscopic, SEM, gravimetric, and other techniques demonstrated that BC-Chi composites can hold more water compared with neat BC.…”

Bacterial cellulose (BC) is produced by several microorganisms as extracellular structures and can be modified by various physicochemical and biological strategies to produce different cellulosic formats. The main advantages of BC for biomedical applications can be summarized thus: easy moldability, purification, and scalability; high biocompatibility; and straightforward tailoring. The presence of a high amount of free hydroxyl residues, linked with water and nanoporous morphology, makes BC polymer an ideal candidate for wound healing. In this frame, acute and chronic wounds, associated with prevalent pathologies, were addressed to find adequate therapeutic strategies. Hence, the main characteristics of different BC structures—such as membranes and films, fibrous and spheroidal, nanocrystals and nanofibers, and different BC blends, as well as recent advances in BC composites with alginate, collagen, chitosan, silk sericin, and some miscellaneous blends—are reported in detail. Moreover, the development of novel antimicrobial BC and drug delivery systems are discussed.

“…Therefore, there are many other approaches which use combinations of different formulations together with chitosan to improve its antimicrobial effects. Specifically, for wound dressings, many different formulations and approaches have been applied to improve their antibacterial activity, such as: silver formulations [ 138 , 139 ], zinc oxide [ 140 ], nitric oxide [ 104 ], ferulic acid [ 141 ], etc. Through carboxymethylation and selective oxidation of bacterial cellulose and cross-linking with chitosan, Xie et al produced a cellulose–chitosan wound dressing that inhibited bacterial proliferation and exhibited an 80% wound-healing rate after three weeks.…”

Here, we present a detailed review of recent research and achievements in the field of combining two extremely important polysaccharides; namely, cellulose and chitosan. The most important properties of the two polysaccharides are outlined, giving rise to the interest in their combination. We present various structures and forms of composite materials that have been developed recently. Thus, aerogels, hydrogels, films, foams, membranes, fibres, and nanofibres are discussed, alongside the main techniques for their fabrication, such as coextrusion, co-casting, electrospinning, coating, and adsorption. It is shown that the combination of bacterial cellulose with chitosan has recently gained increasing attention. This is particularly attractive, because both are representative of a biopolymer that is biodegradable and friendly to humans and the environment. The rising standard of living and growing environmental awareness are the driving forces for the development of these materials. In this review, we have shown that the field of combining these two extraordinary polysaccharides is an inexhaustible source of ideas and opportunities for the development of advanced functional materials.
