Abstract
Nanocellulose producing from wood pulp and its derivatives is a well-known and characterized industrial process. However, agro-industrial residues can also be used for this process as they have a high content of lignocellulosic portions, particularly cellulose. Usually discarded or used as animal feed their composition pose a great potential for the generation of value added products. As an alternative to wood pulp, cellulose from residues represent a great source for obtaining nanocellulose due to its wide availability and low cost. Given that many other studies have focused on generating nanocellulose out of wood pulp due to its intrinsic characteristics, such as high aspect ratio, biodegradability, and good overall mechanical properties, it was decided to characterize the processing of agro-industrial residues on last decade in this review as their composition greatly varies among plant sources, presenting influence on produced nanocrystals quality. The intrinsic properties of nanocellulose justify its utilization in many applications, including use in food, cosmetic, and material industry. This review attempts to follow through the state-of-art for crystalline nanocellulose preparation, presenting its current concerns in process and commercial viability, and finally, indicating some future perspectives on using agro-industrial residues as an environmentally-friendly alternative to wood sources.
