Opportunities for Ivory Nut Residue Valorization as a Source of Nanocellulose Colloidal Suspensions

Opportunities for Ivory Nut Residue Valorization as a Source of Nanocellulose Colloidal Suspensions

Ivory nut seeds have been traditionally exploited in Central and South America for obtaining vegetable ivory. The residues from this industry are susceptible to valorization as a source of fatty acids (by organic extraction) and mannans (by alkaline dissolution and regeneration). Nonetheless, cellul...
