A polysaccharide is a type of carbohydrate. However, from a biodegradability performance point of view there is a very considerable difference. Micro-crystalline Cellulose — is a white powder product, a refined form of cellulose usually made from wood pulp.
Micro-crystalline cellulose is commonly used in cosmetics as a plastic-free exfoliant. This form of cellulose is not suitable for making a flexible transparent film from which glitter can be manufactured. It was the first picture or photographic film, however, it was found to be highly flammable and as a result very dangerous.
Cellulose Acetate or Cellulose Triacetate is also more commonly known as Acetate. Explore the interesting world of science with articles, videos and more.

Cellulose is the most abundant organic compound on Earth. Cellulose is a linear polymer of as many as 10, D-glucose units.
Cellulose is the most abundant biopolymer and is present in wide variety of living species that use cellulose as a reinforcement material trees, plants, tunicates-a group of abundant saclike filter feeding organisms found in the oceans. Multiple cellulose chains hydrogen bond to each other forming elementary fibrils, which collect into microfibrils that are nm in diameter and several microns in length and have regions that are disordered amorphous-like and highly ordered crystalline.
These cellulose fibrils are the main reinforcement phase for the subsequent cellular structured plant tissues and cellulose nanoparticles can be extracted from plant cell walls by chemical-mechanical processes.
