Extraction of nanocelluloses, represented by nanofibrils (CNF) and nanocrystals (CNC), from vegetal FLW. Primary biocolloid sources include leaves, bagasse, branches, and peels of a variety of edible vegetal species (note: here we include algae, which is not part of the plant kingdom). The data shown in the figure were collected from the available literature, discussed in the text.^{[ 101} , ¹²⁹ , ¹³⁰ , ²⁰⁴ , ²⁰⁵ , ²⁰⁶ , ²⁰⁷ , ²⁰⁹ , ²¹⁰ , ²¹² , ²¹³ , ²²⁹ , ²³⁰ , ²³¹ , ²³² , ²³³ , ²³⁴ , ²³⁵ , ²³⁶ , ²³⁷ , ²³⁸ , ²³⁹ , ²⁴⁰ , ²⁴¹ , ²⁴² , ^{243 ]} The plot includes the percent nanocellulose recovery as a function of the cellulose content in the FLW source.
