α-Cellulose is an insoluble fraction of cellulose, which is the most abundant organic polymer on Earth. It is a polysaccharide composed of long chains of β(1,4) linked D-glucose units. It is used in a wide range of applications that require a carbohydrate structural back-bone, as well as in the preparation of chromatographic structural media, in electrophoresis gels and ionic separations. Alpha-Cellulose is particularly valued for its high degree of polymerization, making it less reactive and more stable than other cellulose fractions. It is widely used in the production of paper and textiles, where its insolubility in most solvents, including water, contributes to the strength and durability of the final product
