Bacterial cellulose nanocrystals are highly crystalline structures with nanoscopic scale dimensions that have received increased attention in the nanocomposites area. Its properties, such as large surface area, low density, mechanical strength and ease of modification, are attractive to the preparation many kinds of nanomaterials applied multifunctional in various fields. Besides, the cellulose nanocrystals are from abundant and renewable sources that are biodegradable. An altemative method is to obtain bacterial cellulose nanocrystal by enzymatic hydrolysis because it is, less expensive, it does not use chemicals and it requires much less energy. In this sense, the primary objective of this study was to produce bacterial cellulose using glycerol as a carbon source and isolate nanocrystals from bacterial cellulose using the enzymatic hydrolysis. This study also investigated the yield of nanocrystals depending on the weight of the bacterial cellulose hydrogel, keeping constant some enzymes. The study shows us that the enzymatic method has the best performance when using cellulose hydrogel 2[Formula: see text]g to 40[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]L cellulase enzyme (endoglucanase) and 1[Formula: see text]mL of citrate buffer. Also, it was observed that the yield of nanocrystals decrease with increasing time required for the hydrolysis.

Isoquercitrin is a rare flavonol glycoside with a wide range of biological activities and is a key synthetic intermediate for the production of enzymatically modified isoquercitrin. In order to establish an ultrafast bioprocess for obtaining isoquercitrin, a novel continuous flow biosynthesis of isoquercitrin using the hesperidinase-catalyzed hydrolysis of rutin in a glass-polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) microreactor was first carried out. Using the developed microchannel reactor (200?m width, 50?m depth, and 2 m length) with one T-shaped inlet and one outlet, the maximum yield of isoquercitrin (98.6%) was achieved in a short time (40 min) under the following optimum conditions: rutin concentration at 1 g L-1, hesperidinase concentration at 0.1 g mL-1, reaction temperature at 40?C, and a flow rate at 2 ?L min-1. The activation energy value Ea of the enzymatic reaction was 4.61 kJ mol-1, and the reaction rate and volumetric productivity were approximately 16.1-fold and 30% higher, respectively, than those in the batch reactor. Thus, the use of a continuous-flow microreactor for the enzymatic hydrolysis of rutin is an efficient and simple approach to achieve a relative high yield of isoquercitrin.

Several crude enzymes including cellelase Tv, hemicellulase and lipase, papain as well as cellulase Ac were examined for the effective production of N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (GlcNAc) from amorphous α-chitin. Among the tested crude enzymes, cellulase Tv was found to be the most effective for directly degrading amorphous α-chitin to GlcNAc. High yield of GlcNAc was achieved by choosing the optimum hydrolytic conditions at pH 4.5 and 37°C. By gradually adding, in three tantamount cases, the amount of cellulase Tv to amorphous α-chitin, the yield of GlcNAc reach 55.0%.

Hydrogen peroxide chemo-mechanical pulp (APMP), sulfonated chemo-mechanical pulp (SCMP), and chemical thermomechanical pulp (CTMP) were used as raw materials to explore the effects of hydrogen peroxide (HP), Fenton pretreatment (FP), and ethanol pretreatment (EP) on the enzymatic hydrolysis of high-yield bamboo mechanical pulp (HBMP). The surface lignin distribution and contents of different HBMPs were determined using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The correlation between the surface lignin and the enzymatic hydrolysis of HBMP was also investigated. The residue of enzymatic hydrolysis was used to adsorb methylene blue (MB). The results showed that the cracks and fine fibers on the surface of APMP, SCMP, and CTMP increased after FP, when compared to HP and EP. The total removal content of hemicellulose and lignin in SCMP after FP was higher than with HP and EP. Compared to SCMP, the crystallinity increased by 15.4%, and the surface lignin content of Fenton-pretreated SCMP decreased by 11.7%. The enzymatic hydrolysis efficiency of HBMP after FP was higher than with HP and EP. The highest enzymatic hydrolysis of Fenton-pretreated SCMP was 49.5%, which was higher than the enzymatic hydrolysis of Fenton-pretreated APMP and CTMP. The removal rate of MB reached 94.7% after the adsorption of the enzymatic hydrolysis residue of SCMP. This work provides an effective approach for a high value-added utilization of high-yield bamboo pulp.
