Abstract
With each passing year, the agriculture and wood processing industries generate increasingly high tonnages of biomass waste, which instead of being burned or left to accumulate should be utilized more sustainably. In parallel, advances in green technology have encouraged large companies and nations to begin using eco-friendly materials, including eco-friendly emulsifiers, which are used in various industries and in bio-based materials. The emulsion-conducive properties of lignocellulosic materials such as cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin, the building blocks of plant and wood structures, have demonstrated a particular ability to alter the landscape of emulsion technology. Beyond that, the further modification of their structure may improve emulsion stability, which often determines the performance of emulsions. Considering those trends, this review examines the performance of lignocellulosic materials after modification according to their stability, droplet size, and distribution by size, all of which suggest their outstanding potential as materials for emulsifying agents.
