A VALUABLE article on recent work on cellulose, starch and glycogen, by Prof. H. Staudinger, has appeared in a recent issue of Die Naturwissenschaften (25, 673 ; 1937). The fact that cellulose ...

Sponsor Message So he got an idea: What if we could convert the cellulose in this plentiful biomass to edible starch, which makes up 50 to 60 percent of the human diet? Maybe a technology like ...

Our idea is to use an enzyme cascade to break up the bonds in cellulose, enabling their reconfiguration as starch." The new approach takes cellulose from non-food plant material, such as corn ...

This weird possibility is courtesy of some scientists at Virginia Tech, who have transformed cellulose, a mostly indigestible polymer, into helpful, indispensable starch. Plants produce cellulose ...

Well, that may soon be a reality, thanks to a newly-developed process that allows cellulose to be converted into starch. Cellulose is the most common carbohydrate on Earth, and is found in the ...

Despite a record year, Tongaat Hulett’s starch and cellulose division was impacted by load-shedding during the year ended March 31, CEO Peter Staude said in a telephone interview on Monday. “The ...

Citrus fiber – a byproduct of the juicing process – has properties that make it an appealing alternative to methyl cellulose (in combination with agar, native starch, and psyllium) as a binder ...
