Cellulose

Description:
Cellulose is a complex carbohydrate and a key structural component of the cell walls in green plants, algae, and some fungi. It is a polysaccharide composed of linear chains of glucose units linked by β-1,4-glycosidic bonds, which confer rigidity and strength to plant structures. Cellulose is insoluble in water and most organic solvents, making it a crucial material in various applications, including paper production, textiles, and as a food additive. Its fibrous nature allows it to provide dietary fiber, promoting digestive health in humans. Cellulose can be chemically modified to produce derivatives such as cellulose acetate and carboxymethyl cellulose, which have enhanced solubility and functionality. The CAS number 9004-34-6 specifically identifies cellulose in its natural form. Due to its abundance and renewability, cellulose is considered an important biopolymer in sustainable materials research and biofuel production, as it can be converted into glucose and subsequently fermented into bioethanol. Overall, cellulose is a versatile and environmentally friendly material with significant industrial and biological importance.
