Description

General description

Glucuronic acid is one of the component of xylan backbone, a hemicellulose present in plant cell wall.

Application

D-Glucuronic acid has been used:

• in in vitro human digestion model
• as a fibrous cellulose powder, to test the feeding preference among experimental termites
• as a standard to quantify glucuronic acid in urine sample

Packaging
