Abstract Cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) were successfully produced from sugarcane bagasse (SCB) through acid hydrolysis with statistically optimized parameters using Central Composite Design (CCD). SCB, comprising 30–40 wt% of sugarcane by-products, offers an eco-friendly cellulose source without compromising food supply. The process involved mechanical, alkaline, and bleaching pretreatments to remove lignin and hemicellulose, followed by sulfuric acid hydrolysis.
