Abstract
This study presents the systematic review and analysis of scientific articles on cellulose nanofibril (CNF) production from vegetable fibers, with a focus on environmentally friendly methods. The research followed the PRISMA protocol, selecting works that addressed complete extraction processes starting from vegetal fibers and reporting parameters such as length-to-diameter ratio (L/D), crystallinity, and yield of CNFs. Based on the bibliographic findings, a process flowchart and an experimental design were developed for CNF extraction from peach palm sheath, combining glycerol swelling, single-screw extrusion, and dilute acid hydrolysis (0.4–0.6% H₂SO₄). The choice of this route was based on its potential to promote controlled mechanical shear after glycerol plasticization, facilitating the opening of the cell wall and selective removal of amorphous regions while preserving crystallinity. The proposed methodology, supported by literature evidence, offers a technically feasible and sustainable approach for the valorization of agro-industrial residues, with potential for scaling up to pilot and industrial levels.
This study investigates the valorization of the reticulated fibrous sheath covering the stems of Silybum marianum (milk thistle) as a novel lignocellulosic source for the production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs). A modified Kruscher-Hoffer pretreatment, followed by alkaline extraction and multi-step bleaching, was a...

The Earth’s environment is deteriorating, and biodiversity is declining. The use of plant-based cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) as structural materials can reduce environmental impact, and further technological developments are anticipated. This review article introduces types of cellulose derived from wood, weeds, bamboo,...
The utilization of edible coating is an efficient strategy for maintaining quality and reducing postharvest losses in fruits and vegetables. This study reports the extraction of cellulose from corn cob and the development of a cellulose-based edible coating. The efficiency of the prepared coating was evaluated using pe...

This study presents a sustainable approach for producing cellulose-based nanofilaments using waste cotton fabric as a raw material. Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) are isolated from waste cotton fabric by sulfuric acid hydrolysis followed by a number of treatments, such as centrifugation, dialysis and sonication. The iso...

The development of intelligent packaging systems with dual monitoring and antibacterial capacities still poses one of the most substantial challenges for scientific advancement. In this study, polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and grape skin extract (GSE) were employed as the carrier polymer and coloring agent in the roun...
In the field of cellulose nanomaterials, there has been an increased tendency toward the use of lignin-containing nanofiber, and therefore, limiting the delignification process in the production of lignocellulose nanomaterials in recent years. However, various theories have been proposed, and conflicting findings have...
