“…In our previous works we have reported encapsulation of a wide range of bioactive ingredients by using CNF isolated from turmeric spent. A novel gut health formulation was prepared by encapsulation of asafoetida and curcumin onto CNF through spray drying process and a phytogenic feed additive formulation was also prepared with bioactive molecules such as curcuminoids, carvacrol, and gingerol by encapsulation onto cellulosic nanofiber . Both the formulations were completely characterized and confirmed the successful encapsulation of bioactive molecules.…”

Nanotechnology with bionanomaterials have tremendous potential to enhance and utilize for nutrient and bioactive absorption, drug delivery systems, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical field through various applications. Cellulose nanomaterials are green materials that are obtained from renewable sources and possess exceptional mechanical strength and biocompatibility. The associated unique physical and chemical properties have made various nanocomposite materials an intriguing prospect for different application in the biomedical, food, and nutraceutical industries. In this review, we have discussed and provided a summary of the recent researches in the utilization of cellulosic nanomaterials in applications related to food packaging, bone tissue engineering, wound dressing, drug delivery, and nutraceutical research area and industries.

“…As such, research on encapsulation technologies has gained much traction over the last decade due to several benefits observed, including protection of the bioactive components and allowing their release at a prescribed location and time [ 105 ]. Microencapsulation, a modern and novel technology very useful in animal nutrition, is described as finely dispersing or coating of a core material, usually a bioactive solid, liquid, or gaseous component, antioxidants, enzymes, cells, microorganisms, or any other substance with a shell/matrix/protective wall material, such as protein, lipids, alginates, gums, or carbohydrate, resulting in a smaller millimetric capsule [ 106 , 107 ]. The platform’s advantages are based upon the high specific-area-to-volume and porous nature, which allows nutrient infiltration, stable structure, and high drug-release rates [ 108 ].…”

Myrothamnus flabellifolius (Welw.) is used in African traditional medicine for the treatment of depression and mental disorder, asthma, infectious diseases, respiratory, inflammation, epilepsy, heart, wound, backaches, diabetes, kidney ailments, hypertension, hemorrhoids, gingivitis, shingles, stroke, and skins conditions. The effectiveness of M. flabellifolius is due to the presence of several secondary metabolites that have demonstrated efficacy in other cell and animal models. These metabolites are key in cell regulation and function and have potential use in animal production due to antimicrobial and antioxidant properties, for an improvement in growth performance, feed quality and palatability, gut microbial environment, function, and animal health. The purpose of this review is to provide a detailed account on the potential use of M. flabellifolius in animal nutrition. Limitations towards the use of this plant in animal nutrition, including toxicity, economic, and financial issues are discussed. Finally, novel strategies and technologies, e.g., microencapsulation, microbial fermentation, and essential oil extraction, used to unlock and improve nutrient bioaccessibility and bioavailability are clearly discussed towards the potential use of M. flabellifolius as a phytogenic additive in animal diets.

“…There are many lignocellulosic sources available to make CNF, such as wood, cotton, jute, and many more [9]. Similarly, CNF isolated from turmeric agro-industrial waste have also been utilized in different applications, such as phytogenic feed additive [10], anti-colitis activity product [11], making bioavailable forms of curcumin [12,13], and liposomal powders [14]. These CNF have characteristic mechanical properties due to its ability to make chemical configurations through strong interactions and H-bonding, when mixed with starch [15,16].…”

Ginger residues left after the extraction of active ingredients from ginger rhizomes are considered to be a bio-waste, available in abundance and very rarely used. Extraction and isolation of natural nanofibers from the agro-waste is economical, environmentally benign, and an alternate strategy to replace synthetic fibers. Here, we report, for the first time, the isolation of ginger nanofibers (GNF) from ginger rhizomes spent by acid hydrolysis and followed by high-pressure homogenization. Scanning electron microscopy was utilized to identify the surface morphology of the GNF and the widths ranged between 130 to 200 nm. Structural analysis of GNF was identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Differential scanning calorimetry, and X-ray diffraction methods. This GNF was used to make natural nanocomposites by the solvent-casting method reinforcement, using potato starch (PS) and tapioca starch (TS), and was characterized through various methods. These composites were prepared by the addition of 1, 3, 5, and 7 weight % of GNF with PS or TS. Among these, 5% of the GNF composites of these starches showed very high mechanical properties. The antibacterial test showed that the bionanocomposites with 5% GNF exhibited good antibacterial activity against Bacillus cereus, Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Salmonella typhimurium, due to the addition of GNF in the biopolymer matrices. The viable use of GNF from the unexploited ginger agro-waste would create additional profit and it would help to diminish a large amount of waste generation. Thus, the developed bio-composite could also be employed for development of packing materials and be used in medical applications, such as wound healing pads and medical disposables.
