Cellulose And Its Application In Biomolecules Purification

Cellulose is a renewable and biodegradable natural biopolymersynthesized mainly in plants such as wood, bark, cotton fiber, green algae, some bacteria and animals. Pre-treatment processes such as alkaline purification and enzymatic purification are applied in order to create a proper sorption characteristic of regenerated cellulose fiber. Prior to the application of cellulose/cellulose derivatives in biomoelcules isolation and purification,various solvents could be employed for the dissolution and degradation of cellulose. A wide range of cellulose/cellulose derivatives in different forms have been deployed to build purification column. As a whole, cellulose or its derivatives has demonstrated a robust versatility in the making of various biomolecules extraction materials.
