Cellulose powder is a depolymerized pure celluose fibre like cotton fibre which has been contacted with sodium hypochlorite and caustic soda at 50 degc for aperiod of 2-3 hrs.the reaction changes the physical form from fibre to powder while maintaining its water absorbency,therefore it can be pressed into tablets which will absorb water in the stomach and expand.
