Cellulose inside plants is one of the examples of non-protein compounds that are using this term with the same purpose. Cellulose microfibrils are laid down in the inner surface of the primary cell wall. As the cell absorbs water, its volume increases and the existing microfibrils separate and new ones are formed to help increase cell strength.

Fibrillin-1 is a major component of the microfibrils that form a sheath surrounding the amorphous elastin. It is believed that the microfibrils are composed of end-to-end polymers of fibrillin. To date, 3 forms of fibrillin have been described.
Coextensive in the primary cell wall to both cellulose microfibrils and complementary glycan networks, is pectin which is a polysaccharide that contains many negatively charged galacturonic acid units. [17] Additionally, cellulose microfibrils also contribute to the shape of the plant via controlled-cell expansion.
There are, however, relatively weak segments of the microfibril with weaker internal bonding. These are called amorphous regions; some [citation needed] argue that they are more accurately called dislocations, because of the single-phase structure of microfibrils. The crystalline region is isolated to produce microcrystalline cellulose.
If you’ve been craving carbs, go ahead and dig in to foods made with 100% whole grains, says Bonci. Whole grains retain the grain’s nutritious bran, germ and endosperm. So, they’re loaded ...
Maha Movement's 'Food Babe' Shares 5 Nutrition Tips For Healthier Eating For a bubble gum alternative, Muhlstein recommended Tree Hugger tooth-friendly gum with added xylitol for oral health.
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. [ 69 ] Building material: Hydroxyl bonding of cellulose in water produces a sprayable, moldable material as an alternative to the use of plastics and resins.
