[What is Red Clober]

Red clover is a member of the legume family – the same class of plants where we find chickpeas and soybeans. Red clover extracts are used as dietary supplements for their high content of isoflavone compounds – which possess weak estrogenic activity and have been associated with a variety of health benefits during menopause (reduction of hot flashes, promotion of heart health and maintenance of bone density).

[Function]

1. Red Clover Extract can Improving health, anti-spasm, known for healing properties.

2. Red Clover Extract can Treating the skin diseases (such as eczema, burns, ulcers, psoriasis),

3. Red Clover Extract can Treating respiratory discomfort (such as asthma, bronchitis, intermittent cough)

4. Red Clover Extract can Owning anti-cancer activity and prevention of prostate disease.

5. Red Clover Extract can Most valuable of its estrogen-like effect and alleviate breast pain suffering.

6. Red Clover Extract can Contained red clover isoflavones plays in a weak estrogen, estrogen reduces the number and thusalleviate the suffering.

7. Red Clover Extract can Maintaining bone mineral density in postmenopausal women

8. Red Clover Extract can Raising high density lipoprotein cholesterol.

Cellulose fibers are fibers made with ether or esters of cellulose, which can be obtained from the bark, wood or leaves of plants, or from a plant-based material. Besides cellulose, these fibers are compound of hemicellulose and lignin, and different percentages of these components are responsible for different mechanical properties observed.

The main applications of cellulose fibers are in textile industry, as chemical filter, and fiber-reinforcement composite, due to their similar properties to engineered fibers, being another option for biocomposites and polymer composites.

Cellulose fibers market has been witnessing strong growth over the past few years on account of increasing demand from textile industry. Growing environmental friendly, skin friendly and bio-degradable fabrics demand is the key factor, expected to drive the market by 2020.

Cellulose is a polymer made of repeating glucose molecules attached end to end. A cellulose molecule may be from several hundred to over 10,000 glucose units long. Cellulose is similar in form to complex carbohydrates like starch and glycogen. These polysaccharides are also made from multiple subunits of glucose. The difference between cellulose and other complex carbohydrate molecules is how the glucose molecules are linked together. In addition, cellulose is a straight chain polymer, and each cellulose molecule is long and rod-like. This differs from starch, which is a coiled molecule. A result of these differences in structure is that, compared to starch and other carbohydrates, cellulose cannot be broken down into its glucose subunits by any enzymes produced by animals.

Natural cellulose fibers are fibers that are still recognizable as being from a part of the original plant because they are only processed as much as needed to clean the fibers for use. For example, cotton fibers look like the soft fluffy cotton balls that they come from. Linen fibers look like the strong fibrous strands of the flax plant. All “natural” fibers go through a process where they are separated from the parts of the plant that are not used for the end product, usually through harvesting, separating from chaff, scouring, etc. The presence of linear chains of thousands of glucose units linked together allows a great deal of hydrogen bonding between OH groups on adjacent chains, causing them to pack closely into cellulose fibers. As a result, cellulose exhibits little interaction with water or any other solvent. Cotton and wood, for example, are completely insoluble in water and have considerable mechanical strength. Since cellulose does not have a helical structure like amylose, it does not bind to iodine to form a colored product.

Natural fibers are compose by microfibrils of cellulose in a matrix of hemicellulose and lignin. This type of structure, and the chemical composition of them is responsible for the mechanical properties that can be observed. Because the natural fibers make hydrogen bonds between the long chains, they have the necessary stiffness and strength.

Manufactured cellulose fibers come from plants that are processed into a pulp and then extruded in the same ways that synthetic fibers like polyester or nylon are made. Rayon or viscose is one of the most common “manufactured” cellulose fibers, and it can be made from wood pulp.

This vegan cheese base can be used to create a sauce that is perfect for nachos, dips, fondue, etc. This base can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months or in the freezer for 6 months.

1 cup nutritional yeast
3/4 cup raw cashews
1/2 cup raw pumpkin seeds
1/4 cup rolled oats
2 tbsp arrowroot
2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp onion powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp turmeric powder
1 tsp smoked paprika

Combine all ingredients in a food processor until ground to a fine powder. Store in a plastic bag in the refrigerator or freezer.

To make cheese sauce: Combine 1 cup of non-dairy milk and combine 1/2 cup of cheese base in a sauce pan. Bring to simmer and whisk until thick and smooth.

Try any of the following add-ins to create different cheese sauce flavors:

Jalapeño Sauce: Combine chopped jalapeños into the cheese sauce.
Chili Sauce: Combine chili powder, tamari or soy sauce, and liquid smoke into cheese sauce.
Salsa Cheese Sauce: Mix in salsa into a cup cheese sauce.
“Meat” and Salsa Sauce: Sautee onions and garlic in olive oil. Add in vegan “meat” crumbles and sauté for an additional 5 minutes. Add salsa. Perfect for NACHOS!!!
