Bacterial Cellulose in Food Packaging: A Bibliometric Analysis and Review of Sustainable Innovations and Prospects

Processes, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12(9), P. 1975 - 1975

Published: Sept. 13, 2024

The scientific community has explored new packaging materials owing to environmental challenges and pollution from plastic waste. Bacterial cellulose (BC), produced by bacteria like Gluconacetobacter xylinus, shows high potential for food preservation its exceptional mechanical strength, crystallinity, effective barrier properties against gases moisture, making it a promising alternative conventional plastics. This review highlights recent advances in BC production, particularly agro-industrial residues, which reduce costs enhance sustainability. Incorporating antimicrobial agents into matrices also led active solutions that extend shelf-life improve safety. A bibliometric analysis reveals significant increase research on over the last decade, reflecting growing global interest. Key themes include development of BC-based composites exploration their properties. Critical areas future improving production’s scalability economic viability integration with other biopolymers. These developments emphasize BC’s as sustainable material role circular economy through waste valorization.

Published: April 15, 2025

Abstract Ecofriendly high‐performance soft actuators are growing due to the development of intelligent microrobots, flexible wearable technology, and robotics. We report an eco‐friendly low‐voltage ionic actuator based on bacterial cellulose (BC), liquid (IL), 2‐acrylamido‐2‐methyl‐1‐propanesulfonic acid (AMPS). The BC‐IL‐AMPS actuator, characterized by its straightforward fabrication process expedited prototyping, demonstrates exceptional actuation performances, achieving a large tip displacement ±12 mm under 0.1 Hz at 1.0 V. Moreover, exhibits excellent repeatability endurance with 98% retention after 2 h. improved effectiveness stems from strong synergistic interactions between BC, IL, AMPS. have successfully created practical applications, such as bionic fingers, biomimetic manta rays, grippers, electroactive mechanical arms. actuator's combination high performance, sustainability, simple production heralds new era in offering groundbreaking solutions for robotics, biomedicine, MEMS applications. Highlights A actuator. Excellent responses electrochemical properties. Demonstrating promising bioinspired
