Pinto, Náyra; Bourbon, Ana Isabel; Cerqueira, Miguel A.; Pastrana, Lorenzo; Gama, F. M.; Azeredo, Henriette; Rosa, Morsyleide; Gonçalves, CatarinaBacterial nanocelluloses have been studied to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions due to its ability to adsorb on the oil-water interface, promoting highly stable and surfactant-free systems. However, several features of the bacterial nanocellulose may influence the resultant emulsion, such as the cellulose nature, size, surface charge, shape and chemical surface. Thus, this work aims to produce sunflower oil-in-w...
