Bacterial cellulose: a high-performance green new material synthesized by microorganisms. In nature, cellulose is the most abundant natural polymer material. The well-known plant tissues such as cotton, wood, and straw are rich in cellulose. But few people know that in addition to plants, some microorganisms can also efficiently synthesize cellulose. This kind of cellulose secreted by microorganisms is called bacterial cellulose (BC). Although it has the same molecular structural units as plant cellulose, it has shown irreplaceable value in many fields such as medical care, food, and new materials due to its superior performance and more flexible synthesis methods. It has become a research hotspot in the fields of materials science and biotechnology in recent years. 1. The nature and synthesis mechanism of bacterial cellulose. Bacterial cellulose is a collective name for cellulose synthesized by microorganisms such as Acetobacter, Agrobacterium, and Rhizobium under specific conditions. The most representative one is Staphylococcus aureus.
CNC natural nanocellulose: empowering the food industry and creating a dual upgrade plan for healthy taste. Recently, cellulose nanocrystals (CNC), as a new natural food additive, have achieved important breakthroughs in the field of dairy processing. Its excellent performance in thickening, stabilization, emulsification and fat replacement has provided a new path for the green and healthy transformation of the food industry, and has become the core technical support for promoting high-quality development of the industry. As an enterprise deeply involved in the field of nanocellulose, Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. (a subsidiary of Huikang Biotechnology) is relying on its own technological advantages to promote the industrial application of CNC-related products and help the innovation and upgrading of the food industry. CNC is a nano-scale crystal separated and purified from natural plant fibers such as wood and cotton. It has the advantages of high specific surface area, good biocompatibility, degradability, etc., and is of natural origin, non-toxic and harmless. It can play an efficient role at low concentrations without changing the flavor of the food itself, making it a perfect fit.
With the rapid development of industrial production and marine transportation, oil spill control and industrial oily wastewater treatment have become key problems in the field of environmental protection. Traditional oil-water separation materials have shortcomings such as low adsorption efficiency, non-degradability, and prone to secondary pollution, and cannot meet the current dual needs of green environmental protection and resource recycling. Superhydrophobic/superoleophilic nanocellulose sponges and superhydrophobic/superoleophilic nanocellulose aerogels, as core products for environmentally friendly applications of nanocellulose, have become the preferred solution to oil and water pollution with their advantages of natural environmental protection, efficient separation, and recyclability. They are widely used in many fields such as marine oil spills, industrial wastewater, and high-end protection. As a professional enterprise deeply involved in the field of nanocellulose, Nanjing Tianlu Nanotechnology Co., Ltd. is located in Jiangning District, Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties. It focuses on the research and development, production and sales of nanocellulose series products, relying on a 25,000 square meter modern production base, advanced production lines and professional R&D teams.
