Cellulose is a macromolecular polysaccharide composed of glucose. Insoluble in water and general organic solvents. It's the main component of the plant cell wall. Cellulose is the most widely distributed and abundant polysaccharide in nature, accounting for more than 50% of the carbon content in the plant kingdom. The cellulose content of cotton is close to 100%, which is the purest natural source of cellulose. In general wood, cellulose accounts for 40~50%, there is 10~30% hemicellulose, and 20~30% lignin.
Cellulose is the main structural component of plant cell walls and is usually combined with hemicellulose, pectin, and lignin. The mode and degree of binding greatly affect the texture of plant-derived foods. The change of plant texture at maturity and after ripening is caused by the change of pectin substance. Cellulase does not exist in the human digestive tract. Cellulose is an important dietary fiber. One of the most widely distributed and abundant polysaccharides in nature.
Cellulose is polypolymeric cellulose, lignin fiber, cellulose ether, methylcellulose, hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, and so on.
Function:
1) Treatment of diabetes.
2) Prevention and treatment of coronary heart disease.
3) Blood pressure reduction.
4) Anticancer effect.
Application:
1) Mainly for application of chemicals as an adhesive agent and crack agent forming agent to improve hardness crack ability increasing freedom of release as well as improve inner quality and curative effect. Especially for some big fragile tablets with high elasticity.
2) Add 5-20% percent when making tablets adhesives using the wet method.
3) Used as additives for foodstuff as emulsification, stabilizing agent, suspending agent, thicker agent, and coating agent for drinks, cakes, jams, etc.
4) Used in daily chemicals when making frost agents, shampoo, emulsion, etc.
