  2. Cellulase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulase

    Cellulase is used for commercial food processing in coffee. It performs hydrolysis of cellulose during drying of beans. Furthermore, cellulases are widely used in textile industry and in laundry detergents. They have also been used in the pulp and paper industry for various purposes, and they are even used for pharmaceutical applications.

  3. Cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose

    Cellulose occurs naturally in some foods and is an additive in manufactured foods, contributing an indigestible component used for texture and bulk, potentially aiding in defecation. [ 71 ] Building material: Hydroxyl bonding of cellulose in water produces a sprayable, moldable material as an alternative to the use of plastics and resins.

  4. Carboxymethyl cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxymethyl_cellulose

    Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or cellulose gum [1] is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups (-CH 2-COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone. It is often used in its sodium salt form, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. It used to be marketed under the name Tylose, a ...

  5. Bacterial cellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacterial_cellulose

    A wet microbial cellulose pellicle being removed from a culture Nata de coco, a traditional food product from the Philippines made from fermenting coconut water with Komagataeibacter xylinus. Bacterial cellulose is an organic compound with the formula (C 6 H 10 O 5) n produced by certain types of bacteria.

  6. Hemicellulose - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemicellulose

    In contrast, each polymer of cellulose comprises 7,000–15,000 glucose molecules. [5] In addition, hemicelluloses may be branched polymers, while cellulose is unbranched. Hemicelluloses are embedded in the cell walls of plants, sometimes in chains that form a 'ground' – they bind with pectin to cellulose to form a network of cross-linked ...

  7. Cellulose fiber - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellulose_fiber

    These polysaccharides are also made from multiple subunits of glucose. The difference between cellulose and other complex carbohydrate molecules is how the glucose molecules are linked together. In addition, cellulose is a straight chain polymer, and each cellulose molecule is long and rod-like. This differs from starch, which is a coiled molecule.

  8. Cellophane - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cellophane

    Cellophane is a thin, transparent sheet made of regenerated cellulose. Its low permeability to air, oils, greases, bacteria, and liquid water makes it useful for food packaging. Cellophane is highly permeable to water vapour, but may be coated with nitrocellulose lacquer to prevent this.

  9. Lignocellulosic biomass - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lignocellulosic_biomass

    Strain improvement methods have led to strains capable of producing significantly more cellulases than the original QM6a isolate; certain industrial strains are known to produce up to 100g of cellulase per litre of fungus, [citation needed] thus allowing for maximal extraction of sugars from lignocellulosic biomass. These sugars can then be ...
