Product Description

MCC/Microcrystalline Cellulose

Product Description

 

Microcrystalline cellulose, also known as cellulose gel, or its abbreviation MCC.

It is a multi-functional ingredient commonly used as an anticaking agent, binder, thickener or stabilizer.

The European food additive number for it is E460(i).

The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets.

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC, Microcrystalline cellulose), the main component is a linear polysaccharide substance bound by β-1,4-glucoside bonds, which is natural cellulose hydrolyzed by dilute acid to the limit degree of polymerization ( LOOP) free-flowing very fine short rod-like or powder-like porous particles, composed of white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder.
In general plant fibers, microcrystalline cellulose accounts for about 70%, and the other 30% is amorphous. Cellulose microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and other industries. Different particle size and water content have different characteristics and application ranges.
