tained the characteristic peaks representing cellulose, such as the stretching vibration peak of –OH at 3425 cm −1 , the stretching vibration peak of –CH at 2900 cm −1 , and the bending vibration peak of –CH at 1375 cm −144 . Compared with BFs, the absorption peaks of EBFs and CNFs were enhanced. The stretching vibration peak of –CO at 1030 cm −1 was enhanced, indicating that some of the cellulose of EBFs was hydrolyzed, and the content of primary hydroxyl groups increased 45 . The enhancement of the peak at 897 cm −1 was due to the breakage of some β-glycosidic bonds and the destruction of cellulose molecular chain 46 . In summary, EBFs and CNFs still maintained the basic chemical structure of cellulose. X-ray diffraction analysis. Figure 5 shows the X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns of BFs, EBFs, and CNFs. The diffraction overlapped peak at about 16° correspond to the (1–10)/(110) cellulose crystallographic plane, and the diffraction peaks of 22° and 34.5° correspond to the (200) and (004) cellulose crystallographic plane, respec- tively, which belong to the typical cellulose type I crystal 47,48 . Compared with BFs, the crystallinity of EBFs increased from 53.08% to 67.26%, which was due to the amorphous region of cellulose being destroyed by enzymes 49 . Compared with BEFs, the crystallinity of CNFs decreased slightly to 63.63%, which indicated that high-pressure homogenization has a certain destructive effect on the crystalline region of cellulose.
