Descriptor celulosa
Scope note: Polisacárido formado por unidades de glucosa enlazadas como en la CELOBIOSA. Es el constituyente principal de las fibras vegetales, y el algodón la forma natural más pura de esta sustancia. Como materia prima, constituye la base de muchos derivados que se emplean en cromatografía, materiales de intercambio iónico, fabricación de explosivos y preparados farmacéuticos.
