out of mushrooms. The mushroom cell wall is made of chitin, not cellulose . Cellulose is ubiquitous in the plant world.Cellulose breaks down at or under 100 Cs.

That's a disaccharide. I just put that in there, because it's funny. So cellulose is something which is made of pure sugar, but isn't sweet. There's other things which are sweet but not made of sugar.
You either do that at the start. They're made of cellulose and hemicellulose, most of which we don't actually digest.
Anyway, back to the cellulose . So this is the cellulose polymer, and like all simple polymers, it's repeating unit over and over again. And as some of you may know, the repeating unit in cellulose is glucose-- sugar.
But Alfred saw beyond their beauty to the microscopic holes in their exoskeletons. And nitrocellulose is made by taking cellulose polymers, say from cotton or wood pulp.
So net zero energy has gotten the financial thumbs up. So we just put dense packed cellulose into the wall.
learned about it. And maybe it's where you've learned about it as well. There's been headlines about padding Parmesan cheese with cellulose , for instance. Something like 20% of hard Italian cheese that's made in the US might be mislabeled.
You can't wake up tomorrow and have your heart down in your left hip, right? And those collagen fibers are to us what cellulose is to plants.
Yes, cassettes. A cassette is a small plastic device that housed-- --cellulose tape. And it rewinds when you put your pen in one of the holes.
Ruminants-- cows, sheep-- are the most prolific offenders, because they have a rumen. And They have a second stomach in which cellulose ferments and it creates methane, which mostly comes out as burps, contrary to popular opinion. If cattle were their own nation, they would be the third largest emitter after China and the US.
I haven't quite decided yet exactly how I'm going to fix that page, but it's going to have to be fixed somehow. Anyway, back to the cellulose . So this is the cellulose polymer, and like all simple polymers, it's repeating unit over and over again.
changed a system that seemed hopeless. All the animals that have multiple stomachs because they can digest cellulose .
and poor conditions, and so on, under the ground, which is what a potato is and so on, or an onion for that matter. The other thing that they do is that they also form things like cellulose and hemicellulose, which form the rigid structures that you find that make up, say, trees and so on.
And so if you eat grass, it doesn't work. And if you want to extract the chemical energy in the sugars from cellulose , you need a different chemical process, which is called cattle-ranching, where you feed it to cows. And then you eat the cows or the milk or whatever.
They have a cell wall as well. But in plants, the cell wall is made of cellulose , and in mushrooms the cell wall is made of chitin, which gives them totally different physical properties. So in the video that we'll play next is me exploiting that for the very general button mushroom, and showing that with just a little bit
to the recitation of a single mantra. and a mountain was a pile of rock, a forest was cellulose and ..
This was created by Louis Lumiere, who you may know as the father, basically, of the motion picture industry. What he did was develop pictures-- instead of having those images painted on the glass slides-- that were printed on cellulose . And he would make rolls of them and expose them.
So this is the cellulose polymer, and like all simple polymers, it's repeating unit over and over again. And as some of you may know, the repeating unit in cellulose is glucose-- sugar. And the only reason it doesn't taste sweet is because we don't have any kind of chemical process in our stomach that's able to break
And instead of having a monosaccharide, a single sugar, you can have polysaccharides, you can have bigger and bigger sugars. Connect these glucose molecules together in one specific way, and you get cellulose . The most common organic molecule on earth-- wood, paper, right?
Because here's the problem. You know how we in the room-- unless one of you is a mutant-- cannot digest cellulose . We just don't know how to do it.
changed a system that seemed hopeless. And there are places where producing grass, which is mostly cellulose , it's got nutrients in it but it's mostly cellulose -- where producing grass
We'll go step by step and show you you can do it fast and what it's actually doing to get the best texture and flavor out of mushrooms. The mushroom cell wall is made of chitin, not cellulose . Cellulose is ubiquitous in the plant world.
But now the whole globe, through internet commerce, is a large market. for example, new ways to dye textiles, lensing, which makes modal and lyocell, which are cellulose fibers made
