BACTERIAL CELLULOSE-CONTAINING FORMULATION AND METHOD OF PRODUCING EFFECTIVE BACTERIAL CELLULOSE-CONTAINING FORMULATION

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide new formulations of bacterial cellulose and a new method to produce formulations of bacterial cellulose that exhibit improved viscosity-modifying properties particularly with low energy applied to effectuate viscosity changes therewith.

SOLUTION: The method to produce the formulations of bacterial cellulose includes the novel co-precipitation with a water soluble co-agent that permits precipitation in the presence of excess alcohol to form an insoluble fiber that can be utilized as a thickener or suspension aid without the need to introduce high energy mixing.
