• Cellulose

Cellulose, the most abundant organic polymer found on our planet, consists of long chains of glucose molecules interconnected through beta-1,4-glycosidic bonds. This complex carbohydrate serves multiple purposes: it can be enzymatically broken down into glucose, providing an energy source for living organisms, or it can be utilized as a raw material for the production of various chemicals. Cellulose derivatives find extensive applications in industries such as textile manufacturing, paper production, and plastics manufacturing. The versatility of cellulose makes it a valuable resource for creating a wide range of products that contribute to our daily lives.
