Description_x000D_ General description_x000D_ Cellulose, a β-glucan insoluble in water is an important constituent of plant cell wall. It is a tough, fibrous polysaccharide, which has a linear chain of glucose residues, linked with β-1,4 bond. Plants produces this biopolymer abundantly._x000D_ Application_x000D_ Cellulose (medium fibers) is used in metabolic pathway and carbohydrate applications. Cellulose has been used to study biofuel and biorefinery applications._x000D_ Cellulose has been used:_x000D_ • for biomass analysis in pyrolysis process_x000D_ • in column to purify organisms from uninfected erythrocytes and white cells_x000D_ • as a standard in fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study conformational characteristics of bacterial cellulose (BC) obtained from Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium_x000D_ • as a control in diet-related animal studies to evaluate the hypocholesterolemic activity of botryosphaeran_x000D_ High purity cellulose powders for partition chromatography._x000D_ Packaging_x000D_ 1 kg in poly drum_x000D_ 100, 250 g in poly bottle_x000D_ Biochem/physiol Actions_x000D_ Cellulose helps in maintaining the structural stability of plant cell walls. It is an important component of paper and fabrics made from cotton, and linen.
