Thickening and Gelling Agents for Food

Abstract

Cellulose is the world’s most abundant naturally occurring organic sub­stance. It constitutes about one-third of all vegetable matter in the world and is the main constituent of cell walls of higher plants. Wood contains about 40–50% cellulose, bast fibres such as flax contain about 80–90% cellulose and seed hairs, notably cotton, contain about 85–97% cellulose (Ott, 1946). Cellulose is a linear polymer of β-(1,4)-d-anhydroglucose, as shown in Figure 3.1.
