Record 1 2013-05-01

English

Subject field(s)
  • Chemical Elements and Compounds
CONT

Acetan is... an anionic polysaccharide with a cellulosic backbone but with a pentasaccharide side chain consisting of alpha-L-Rha-(1->6)-D-Glc-(1->6)-alpha-D-Glc-(1->4)--D-GlcA-(1->2)-alpha-D-Man-(1->3) linked to every other glucose in the backbone. Acetan, therefore, has a chemical structure closely related to that of xanthan.

Subject field(s)
  • Biochemistry
  • Biological Sciences
  • Pulp and Paper
DEF

[A] polysaccharide that forms the supporting cell structure in plants [but] does not occur in animals. [It consists] of [a] long chain of glucose units. [It is] not digested in man or other monogastric animals, but serves a useful purpose in providing bulk for intestinal functioning.

OBS

Acetylated cellulose is employed in reversed phase systems and other chemically modified forms are suitable for ion exchange chromatography.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Biochimie
  • Sciences biologiques
  • Pâtes et papier
DEF

Matière fibreuse constituant la paroi des cellules végétales.

CONT

L'hydrolyse complète de la cellulose entraîne la formation de glucose. La résistance de la cellulose à la dissolution par des agents de défibrage et de blanchiment permet d'éliminer le maximum de lignine sans dégradation et d'obtenir ainsi des fibres composées principalement de cellulose, substance de base du papier fin.

DEF

Polisacárido lineal formado por estos de D-glucopiranosa, unidos entre sí. Existe en las paredes celulares de las plantas, en la mayoría de algas y en ciertas especies de hongos. Algunos procarióticos producen microcápsulas de celulosa.
