Abstract
Defatted rice bran (DRB) is an agricultural waste that has notable potential in the food industry. It is also considered an excellent source of bio-based cellulosic nanofibres due to its high cellulose content. The use of toxic materials in the extraction of cellulosic nanofibres can affect both consumers and the environment. This study investigates the innovative use of an environmentally friendly method that is the ultrasonic-assisted enzymatic treatment, to isolate a type of lignocellulosic nanofibres (LCNF) from defatted rice bran (DRB), named rice bran nanofibres (RBN), as potent emulsifiers for stabilizing Pickering emulsions.
