Cellulose

What Is Cellulose

Cellulose is a large molecular polysaccharide composed of D-glucose with β-1, 4-glucoside bond, which is insoluble in water and common organic solvents. It is an important structural component of cell wall including green plants, algae and oomycetes. Cellulose is the most widely distributed and abundant polysaccharide in nature, and it is the main component of plant cell wall. Cellulose is the most abundant natural organic matter in the world, accounting for more than 50% of the carbon content of the plant kingdom. Cotton, flax, ramie and jute contain high quality cellulose. The cellulose content in cotton fiber is more than 90%, the cellulose content in wood reaches 40%-50%, and the cellulose content in dried hemp is also 57%. In addition, cellulose also comes from hemp, wheat straw, rice bagasse. Cellulose can not only be used in the food and health care industry, but also an important raw material for papermaking, and is also widely used in building materials, plastics, explosives, electrical and scientific research equipment.

How Cellulose Works

There is no β-glycosidase in the human body, which can not decompose and use cellulose, but cellulose has the ability to absorb a lot of water, increase the amount of feces, promote intestinal peristalsis, accelerate the excretion of feces, shorten the residence time of carcinogens in the intestine, and reduce the adverse stimulation of the intestine, so as to prevent the occurrence of intestinal cancer, diabetes and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Health Benefits of Cellulose

There are an array of potential health benefits of Cellulose, such as Treating Obesity， Laxative Effect, Laxative Effect, Beneficial for Intestinal Health and so on, here we will browes some of its important Health Benefits as below:
Treating Obesity
Food cellulose includes crude fiber, semi-crude fiber and lignin, such substances are not digested and absorbed, but it can absorb a lot of water, increase satiety, and then avoid excessive energy intake, and can promote the gastrointestinal peristalsis of the human body, increase defecation. At the same time, it can also reduce the stimulation of toxic objects on the human body, mainly by quickly discharging carcinogens from the body and shortening the time it stays in the human body. Therefore, the role of cellulose in the prevention and treatment of obesity is very obvious.
Laxative Effect
With the continuous improvement of living standards, daily food has become dominated by high-protein and high-fat foods, and the intake of cellulose is very small, which may lead to constipation. Constipation makes the harmful substances in the excrement stay in the human intestine for a longer time, which will cause harm to the human body. Cellulose can soften the stool, and through mechanical stimulation of intestinal peristalsis, to promote intestinal empting, has a laxative effect, can reduce the pressure around the anus, make the blood smooth, with the effect of preventing hemorrhoids.
Beneficial for Intestinal Health
First, cellulose can be decomposed into butyric acid by intestinal probiotics in the gut, which can effectively inhibit the growth and reproduction of tumor cells. Secondly, cellulose is an important raw material for intestinal flora fermentation, which can promote the proliferation of probiotics and inhibit the development of harmful bacteria by adjusting the intestinal microecology. Therefore, proper intake of cellulose plays an important regulatory role in the maintenance of intestinal microecology. In addition, cellulose can also fight against intestinal pathogenic factors such as saprophytic bacteria, cholic acid and anaerobic bacteria, and help intestinal movement and excretion of toxins hidden in the stool, thereby reducing the risk of intestinal cancer.
Treating Diabetes
First, cellulose can absorb glucose in the gut, reducing glucose concentration in the digestive tract and lowering blood sugar levels. Secondly, cellulose can improve the sensitivity of muscle and fat cells to insulin and improve the utilization of insulin, so as to prevent and assist in the treatment of diabetes.
Protect Heart and Blood Vessels
Fiber is known as the seventh nutrient and plays an important role in protecting human health and extending life. In addition to losing weight, defecating, and protecting intestinal health, it can also protect cardiovascular and cerebrovascular vessels. Cellulose mainly reduces cholesterol and other lipids in the blood by promoting defecation, reducing intestinal reabsorption of cholesterol in bile, etc., thus protecting our cardiovascular and cerebrovascular systems.

Cellulose Side Effects

The side effects of long-term consumption of cellulose generally lead to malnutrition. If there are digestive system diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcers, or chronic hepatitis, long-term consumption of cellulose may worsen the symptoms and may also trigger other diseases. Cellulose can increase satiety and achieve the effect of reducing food intake, but it should not be taken for a long time as it may cause dysbiosis of the gut microbiota and a decrease in intestinal absorption function.
