    Description

    General description

    Cellulose, a β-glucan insoluble in water[1] is an important constituent of plant cell wall. It is a tough, fibrous polysaccharide[2], which has a linear chain of glucose residues, linked with β-1,4 bond.[3] Plants produces this biopolymer abundantly.[1]

    application

    Cellulose (medium fibers) is used in metabolic pathway and carbohydrate applications. Cellulose has been used to study biofuel and biorefinery applications.
    Cellulose has been used:
    • for biomass analysis in pyrolysis process[4]
    • in column chromatography to purify organisms from uninfected erythrocytes and white cells[5]
    • as a standard in fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) to study conformational characteristics of bacterial cellulose (BC) obtained from Hestrin-Schramm (HS) medium[6]
    • as a control in diet-related animal studies to evaluate the hypocholesterolemic activity of botryosphaeran[7]
    High purity cellulose powders for partition chromatography.

    Biochem/physiol Actions

    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.[2]
