Cellulose microcrystalline is an organic compound which is a polysaccharide consisting of a linear chain of several hundred to many thousands of β(1→4) linked D-glucose units.
Cellulose, a homopolymer consisting of glucose units joined by beta-1,4 bonds. These are strongly attached through inter and intramolecular hydrogen bonds and van der Waals forces resulting in microfibrils which together form fibers. They are arranged in parallel reducing ends of adjacent glucan chainsCellulose is widely used as sorbent in TLC.
