Utilization and Extraction Method of Nanocellulose: A Review

Abstract

Currently, the use of nanocellulose is very broad in various fields, such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and electronics industries. In its development, this nano-sized cellulose is widely used as a reinforcement nanocomposite nanofiller. Nanocellulose has several advantages, including its large surface area, very lightweight, easy to shape, ability to break through the performance limits of conventional materials, and having a high economic value. Nanotechnology develops based on new properties produced by nanomaterials as advanced materials. Therefore, the factor of the extraction process method must be considered to produce nanocellulose that has good quality and large quantity. Nanocellulose extraction can be accomplished in a variety of ways depending on the raw material but is generally done through a combination of chemical, mechanical, and biological treatments.

Potential Utilization of Cocoa Waste from Gunung Kidul Cocoa Fermentation Center: The Influence of NaOCl in Cellulose Extraction from Cocoa Pod Husk

“…Serat selulosa memiliki beberapa keunggulan seperti sifat mekanik yang baik, kepadatan rendah, ramah lingkungan, melimpah, murah, tidak beracun, mudah terdegradasi, dan termasuk dalam sumber daya alam terbarukan (Amrillah et al, 2022;Hanum et al, 2023)…”

Optimization and Characterization Cellulose Content of Cocoa Pod Husk from Cocoa Fermentation Center in Gunung Kidul Regency, Indonesia Through The Extraction Process

“…Cellulose content can come from several sources such as bacteria, algae, annual plants, agricultural waste, and wood. Along with the development of science and technology, cellulose is modified into materials with higher economic value such as nanocellulose and Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) (Hanum et al, 2023;Singh et al, 2019). Cellulose can be extracted from the source using the alkaline delignification method and bleaching process.…”
