Daftar Isi:
- The application of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) as drug delivery is studied in last six years, having advantages such as non-toxic, high biocompatibility, biodegradable, and high area to volume ratio making NCC good drug delivery agent. Nanocrystalline cellulose is a renewable nano size material from cellulose, which can be obtained from various bio waste. Oil palm empty fruit bunches (OPEFB) can be used as cellulose resources because of its abundant availability in Indonesia and high cellulose content. In this research, NCC for drug delivery is obtained from OPEFB through delignification and acid hydrolysis process. The effect of temperature and time in Acid hydrolysis process on yield of NCC will investigated. The performance of nanocrystalline cellulose from oil palm empty fruit bunch as drug delivery will be researched using adsorption-desorption kinetic method under simulated body fluid and its drug adsorption capacity will be investigated using isotherm adsorption method.
