Extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) from agro-residues has received much attention, not only for their unique properties supporting a wide range potential applications, but also limited risk to global climate change. This research was conducted assess Nile roses (Eichhornia crassipes) fibers as natural biomass extract CNCs through an acid hydrolysis approach. (NRFs) were initially subjected alkaline (pulping) and bleaching pretreatments. Microcrystalline (MCC) used control in...
Valorization of plant wastes to constitute biodegradable ecofriendly composites grabbed ever increasing interest since 2-3 decades. Moreover, dealing with substantial amount Nile rose has been growing challenge, especially during demand on water. The aim this research is investigate the morphological, mechanical, and chemical properties gelatinized starch (TPS) its Rose fibers (NRF) filled composites. optimum combination mechanical was obtained for sample containing 60% NRF further increase...
More than 1.3 billion tons of foodstuffs are wasted each year because their storage, handling, transportation or sale, resulting in the world suffering from famine and food shortages. This means that huge amounts resources utilized production wasted. Greenhouse gas emissions caused by degradation gets results serious environmental human health impacts. Food losses could be microbes, temperature, humidity, UV-lights, other factors related to current pandemics, have jeopardy impacts on...
Abstract Chemical processing is among the significant keys to tackle agro-residues utilization field, aiming obtain value-added materials. Extraction of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) an emerging route valorize lignocellulosic wastes into high value particles. In this investigation, effect acidic hydrolysis duration was monitored on size and morphology obtained crystals; namely: CNCs from Nile roses fibers (NRFs) ( Eichhornia crassipes) . Different range or different characterization...
