It can be obtained by extraction from plant, bio-fermentation or chemically reproduced.

It can be use as:

Sclerotium gum
Carrageenan
Cellulose microcrystalline

or optimize by hydrolyzing like:

Hydrolyze corn starch

or by grafting chemical functionality like:

Esterified starch
Starch ether
Cellulosic Ether
Polyquaternium-10
Alkyl Polyglycolides
