  Abstract

Nanocellulose has attracted growing attention in recent years due to its renewable origin, excellent mechanical properties, and wide applicability in various fields such as packaging, biomedical materials, and electronics. In the manufacturing process of nanocellulose, pretreatment is essential to determining the efficiency and quality of the final product. Among these, enzymatic hydrolysis is considered a more environmentally friendly alternative. In this study, we employed a pretreatment method using a mixed enzyme system composed of three types of cellulase enzymes to improve sustainability in nanocellulose production. The nanofibrillation process was performed using a high-pressure homogenizer, which is widely recognized for its effectiveness in producing uniform nanocellulose. Furthermore, the effects of various conditions during enzymatic pretreatment and nanofibrillation on the surface morphology and crystalline structure of pulp were investigated. In particular, the effects of enzyme amount on the crystallinity and surface morphology of the pulp were analyzed using XRD and SEM. The enzymatically pretreated pulp subjected to high-pressure homogenization resulted in nanocellulose with an average diameter of approximately 16 nm. The results emphasize that the degree of enzymatic activity significantly enhances the crystallinity of the pulp, thereby affecting the properties of the nanocellulose.
