Abstract
Nanocellulose is a natural polymer derived from cellulose that comes in three main forms: nanocrystalline cellulose, nanofibrillar cellulose, and bacterial cellulose. It has exceptional properties, including a high specific surface area, non-toxic nature, excellent mechanical properties, low thermal expansion, and high biodegradability, making it a material of choice for pharmaceutical applications. On the other hand, essential oils are volatile compounds that degrade quickly, and their encapsulation would be of great interest. However, in this review presenting the application of nanocellulose in the pharmaceutical field, we explore the potential of this biomaterial in the encapsulation of essential oils, paying particular attention to the computational methodologies used in this field.
Keywords
