 Technology Profile

Title:

High Yield Production of High Value Bacterial Nano Cellulose (BNC) Films from Low Cost Crude Glycerol Feed

Value Proposition:
  • High quality BNC with higher yield
  • Used low-cost crude glycerol as raw material
  • Proprietary bacterial strain
Summary Application:
  • Medical: Bone & tissue scaffold material, dental application, wound dressing material
  • Cosmetics: As an additive in cosmetics, anti-aging masks
  • Food: Stabilizer, emulsifiers, texture enhancers & rheology modifier
  • BNC powder is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) in food industry
Advantages:

CSIR-NCL process for producing BNC uses cheaper crude glycerol & yet delivers high yield BNC films with good quality.
