The anhydroglucose unit (AGU) refers to a single sugar molecule in a polymer. Each AGU is reduced to its functional groups, 3 hydroxyl groups per AGU.
Carbohydrate AGU:
| Polymer | AGU | mmol -OH/g |
|---|---|---|
| Amylose | 200-2000[1] |
Cellulose AGU:
| Polymer | AGU[2] | mmol -OH/g |
|---|---|---|
| cotton fibers | 8,000–14,000 | |
| cotton linters | 1,000–6,500 | |
| baggase | 700–900 | |
| wood fibers | 8,000–9,000 |
