The alpha-cellulose is that portion of pulp which does not dissolve in 18% aqueous NaOH. The greater the quantity of alpha-cellulose present, the higher the purity of the material. However, alpha-cellulose is not necessarily pure cellulose, since alkali-soluble glycans may still be combined with it. 1, record 1, English, - alpha%2Dcellulose

La cellulose alpha est la fraction de la pâte qui est insoluble dans une solution aqueuse de soude caustique (NaOH) à 18 %. Plus il y a de cellulose alpha, plus la pâte est pure. Cependant, la cellulose alpha n'est pas nécessairement de la cellulose pure puisqu'elle peut être combinée à d'autres polysaccharides solubles en milieu alcalin. 4, record 1, French, - cellulose%20alpha
