as, starch, arabin, dextrin, cellulose, etc.
Cellulose \Cel"lu*lose`\, n. (Chem.)
The substance which constitutes the essential part of the
solid framework of plants, of ordinary wood, linen, paper,
etc. It is also found to a slight extent in certain animals,
as the tunicates. It is a carbohydrate, {(C6H10O5)n},
isomeric with starch, and is convertible into starches and
sugars by the action of heat and acids. When pure, it is a
white amorphous mass. See {Starch}, {Granulose}, {Lignin}.
Unsized, well bleached linen paper is merely pure
cellulose. --Goodale.
{Starch cellulose}, the delicate framework which remains when
the soluble part (granulose) of starch is removed by
saliva or pepsin. --Goodale.
