Nanocellulose is a nanoscale material derived from natural plant fibers, with excellent mechanical strength, biocompatibility, renewability and versatility. In the food field, the application of nanocellulose is gradually expanding. The following are several common application cases: 1. Food additives and thickeners Nanocellulose is used as thickeners, emulsifiers and stabilizers to replace traditional food additives due to its high viscosity and stable structure. It can be used in foods to thicken and improve texture, such as beverages, yogurt and jelly, improving the taste while reducing calorie content. 2. Nanocellulose, food packaging material, has good biodegradability and mechanical properties, and can be used to make environmentally friendly food packaging materials. These packaging materials not only provide good barrier properties and extend the shelf life of food, but also have the advantages of environmental protection and reduce plastic pollution. For example, food plastic wrap made of nanocellulose has good water hinderance and antibacterial properties
