Heating and mechanical agitation can improve the solubility. As in the same amount of alkali solution in add, can form even strong heating also don't melt the thermal stability of gel. Weak yellow to brown powder. Basic odourless and tasteless. Its water solution has the very strong trailing (drawing) phenomenon, consistency is very high. The fiber material have certain ability of decomposition. The main composition is polysaccharide.
