Nanocellulose provides a new materials platform for the sustainable production of high-performance nano-enabled products in an array applications. In this paper, potential applications cellulose nanomaterials are identified as first step toward estimating market volume. The overall study, presented two parts, estimates volume on basis estimated tonnage rather than dollar value or profits from production. we uses literature, presentations, and patent reviews, then categorized these under...
Cell-cultured meat and seafood offer a sustainable opportunity to meet the world's increasing demand for protein in climate-changed world. A responsible, data-driven approach assess demonstrate safety of cell-cultured can support consumer acceptance help fully realize potential these products. As an initial step toward thorough demonstration safety, this review identifies hazards that could be introduced during manufacturing, evaluates applicability existing assessment approaches, highlights...
Cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) derived from wood fibers are renewable materials with wide applicability for use in consumer products as a bio-based composite material and have the potential to replace petroleum-based many existing novel applications.
There has been a conceptual shift in toxicological studies from describing what happens to explaining how the adverse outcome occurs, thereby enabling deeper and improved understanding of biomolecular mechanistic profiling can inform hazard identification improve risk assessment. Compared traditional toxicology methods, which have heavy reliance on animals, new approaches generate data are becoming available for safety assessment chemicals, including high-throughput high-content screening...
Nanocellulose has enormous potential to provide an important materials platform in numerous product sectors. This study builds on previous work by the same authors which likely high-volume, low-volume, and novel applications for cellulosic nanomaterials were identified. In particular, this creates a transparent methodology estimates annual tonnage requirements nanocellulose previously identified United States (U.S.). High, average, low market penetration are provided each application....
Regioselective C6 and C2,C3 carboxylated cellulose nanofibrils (CNFs) have been robustly generated from dissolving pulp, a readily available source of unmodified cellulose, via stoichiometrically optimized 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpyperidine-1-oxyl (TEMPO)-mediated sequential sodium periodate-sodium chlorite (PC) oxidation coupled with high-speed blending. Both regioselectively CNF series possess the widest ranges comparable charges (0.72–1.48 mmol/g for T-CNFs vs. 0.72–1.10 PC-CNFs), but similar...
Novel forms of fibrillated cellulose offer improved attributes for use in foods. Conventional and many its derivatives are already widely used as food additives authorized safe foods countries. However, novel have not yet been thoroughly investigated using standardized testing methods. This study assesses the 90-day dietary toxicity cellulose, compared to a conventional Solka Floc. Sprague Dawley rats were fed 2 %, 3 or 4 % 90 consecutive days, parallel Floc groups controls. Survival,...
Adverse outcome pathways (AOPs) represent a sequence of key events (KEs) between molecular initiating event (MIE) and an adverse (AO) span many levels biological organization including molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organism, population. AOPs link specific observations with AOs. are not to individual chemicals; however, they were traditionally developed for chemicals. The objective the present study is advance identification KEs using existing nanotoxicology literature as part...
Significant advances have been made in the development of Adverse Outcome Pathways (AOPs) over last decade, mainly focused on toxicity mechanisms chemicals. These AOPs, although relevant to manufactured nanomaterials (MNs), do not currently capture reported roles size-associated properties MNs toxicity. Moreover, some AOs relevance airborne exposures such as lung inflammation and fibrosis shown animal studies may be targeted routine regulatory decision making. The primary objective present...

As with every new technology, safety demonstration is a critical component of bringing products to market and gaining public acceptance for cultured meat seafood. This manuscript develops research priorities from the findings series interviews workshops governmental scientists regulators food agencies in fifteen jurisdictions globally. The aimed identify key questions priority areas research. Participants raised about which aspects seafood production are novel, implications paucity...
A nanomaterial life-cycle risk assessment (Nano LCRA) was conducted for second-generation functionalized cellulose nanomaterials (CNs) in five case studies, including applications water filtration, food contact packaging (including as an additive and coating), additives, to identify prioritize potential occupational, health, consumer, environmental risks. Exposure scenarios were developed ranked each product stage. Safer-by-Design Toolbox (SbD Toolbox) representing a compendium of...
Cultivated meat and seafood, produced through cell culture technology, offers an alternative to conventional production. This industry employs novel food technologies that rely on media substances for growth. Assessing the safety of these components poses challenges due lack frameworks determining if a production component is ‘food safe’. paper presents collaborative efforts develop assessment framework inputs, including preliminary list common commonly used in cultivated seafood production,...
