Nanocrystalline cellulose (NCs) was successfully isolated from pepper biowaste using lactic acid hydrolysis and employed as filler in seaweed biocomposite. Optimization of hydrolysis parameters by employing response surface methodology (RSM) generates 75.50 % NCs with 76.68 % crystallinity at 6.31 M...
