When the carbohydrate is cellulose, applicable bases useful herein include cellulose and modified cellulose, especially water soluble cellulose ethers, such as carboxymethylcellulose and alkyl and hydroxyalkylcelluloses, for example, methylcellulose, hydroxypropoylymethylcellulose, hydroxyethylcellulose, hydroxyeth...
We quantified cello-oligosaccharides, which are water-soluble low-molecular-weight carbohydrates, in extracts from the two types of paper. The degree of polymerization (DP) of aged paper was also evaluated based on the absolute molecular weight of cellulose. The content of water-soluble cello-...
The harmful effects on the environment caused by the indiscriminate use of synthetic plastics and the inadequate management of post-consumer waste have given rise to efforts to redirect this consumption to bio-based economic models. In this sense, using biopolymers to produce materials is a reality...
Cellulose fibrils are synthesized by enzymes floating in the cell membrane and are arranged in a rosette configuration. Each rosette appears capable of “spinning” a microfibril into the cell wall. During this process, as new glucose subunits are added to the growing end of the fibril, the ...
Alternatively, glucan and mucopolysaccharides were separated based on polymer size (Fig. 1; Alderkamp et al. 2006a). During the exponential growth phase, mucopolysaccharides contributed 38% to the water extractable carbohydrates, decreasing to 9% during the stationary phase. Based on the ...
