| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Food materials prepared from cellulose aqueous sodium hydroxide solution have been studied for the first time in the world. In order to create new food materials made of regenerated cellulose, the mechanism of structure formation from cellulose solution, suitable structure for the food materials and physiological functions of the materials have to be clarified. The following results have been obtained by this study: (1) the starting structure from the solution was proved to be a molecular sheet detected by synchrotron X-ray scattering (SPring-8); (2) poly saccharides prevented the molecular sheet tightly forming, which resulted in the structure of low crystallinity with excellent oral sensation; (3) surface energy of regenerated cellulose was calculated using computational procedure as scientific basis to investigate physiological functions of the food materials.
