[La] cellulose modifiée [...] est obtenue par substitution de certains groupements hydroxyles de la chaîne de cellulose par des molécules carbonées variées, ce qui modifie la structure cristalline de la cellulose et la rend dispersible en milieu aqueux, son caractère hydrophile étant plus ou moins accentué suivant le degré de substitution. Ces dérivés cellulosiques sont utilisés comme agents épaississants et gélifiants en technologie alimentaire. Les celluloses modifiées admises comme additifs alimentaires sont : la méthyl cellulose, l'éthyl cellulose, l'hydroxypropyl cellulose, l'hydroxypropylméthyl cellulose et la méthyléthyl cellulose. 1, record 2, French, - cellulose%20modifi%C3%A9e

A variety of enzymes have now been adsorbed to modified celluloses (DEAE) which, in two instances, have led to the development of major industrial-scale immobilized enzyme processes. In one case Tosa et al. brought to industrial scale a process in which various amino acylases adsorbed to DEAE cellulose or DEAE Sephadex are employed to convert tonnage quantities of synthetic DL amino acids to the biologically available L-form. Most recently, a process utilizing glucose isomerase adsorbed to DEAE cellulose has been patented and used in the full-scale conversion of corn syrup sugar to fructose. 1, record 5, English, - modified%20cellulose

La chromatographie sur des celluloses modifiées est un procédé récent, qui a trouvé de nombreuses applications. Il existe deux types de celluloses : les échangeurs d'anions et les échangeurs de cations. Les plus employées sont la diéthylaminoéthyl-cellulose et la carboxyméthyl-cellulose (DEAE- et CM-cellulose). 1, record 5, French, - cellulose%20modifi%C3%A9e
