Abstract The microstructure of bacterial cellulose nanofibers (BCNs) film affects its characteristic. One of several means to
engineer the microstructure is by changing the BCNs size and fiber distribution through a high-pressure homogenizer (HPH) process. This research aimed to find out the effects of repetition cycles on HPH process towards
BCNs film characteristics. To prepare BCNs films, a pellicle from the fermentation of pineapple peels waste with
Acetobacter xylinum (A. xylinum) was extracted, followed by crushing the pellicle with a high-speed blender,
thereafter, homogenized using HPH at 150 bar pressure with variations of 5, 10, 15, and 20 cycles. The BCNs… More >
