Abstract

Bacterial nanocellulose (BNC) has many advantages over plant cellulose, which make it widely used in many fields, especially in the food industry. In this study, three strains including BCA263, BCC529, and P1 were selected for characteristics analysis of BNCs under static and agitated culture conditions. The BNCs produced under static culture condition were in the shape of uniform membrane, while BNCs produced under agitated culture were in form of small agglomerates and fragments. BCA263 and BCC529 strains were more suitable for static culture, while P1 strain was more suitable for agitated culture. BNCs produced under static culture condition exhibited higher crystallinity, stronger tensile strength, denser network structure, higher temperature resistance and good flame retardancy; while BNCs produced under agitated culture condition exhibited larger porous and lower crystallinity. Furthermore, BNCs produced under agitated culture condition were more suitable as a stabilizer of coffee milk beverage.
