39. Cellulose


Cellulose is an organic molecular compound found in abundance in nature. Being composed of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen it can be located in numerous plants used to strengthen its cell walls. Cellulose has many uses in the food we consume today, with its four main purposes being fiber supplement, appetite suppresser, thickener, and it's ability to prevent sticking. I used a picture of grated parmesan cheese, because within it is cellulose helping to prevent the cheese from getting clumpy and caking.
