Description
Summary:This work presents a review related to the obtainment of cellulose from different structures in agro-industrial residues, both for application in the food industry and for the reinforcement of other materials. Cellulose nanofibers are produced by the heart of palm (<i>Bactris gasipaes</i>) industry in Brazil and are used as a stabilizer in avocado oil emulsions; conversely, cellulose nanocrystals are produced in waste from the tequila industry (<i>Agave tequilana</i> Weber var. Azul) in Jalisco, Mexico, and are used for reinforcement applications.
