Product Description

Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC E460 CAS 9004-34-6)

Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose prepared by treating alpha-cellulose, obtained as a pulp from fibrous plant material, with mineral acids. It's a white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder composed of free-flowing, extremely fine, short, rod-like or powder-like porous particles of natural cellulose hydrolyzed to the limiting degree of polymerization (LODP) by dilute acid.

Key Benefits

Excellent compressibility
High binding capacity
Inert and non-toxic
Provides good flow properties
Wide range of applications

Target Industries & Applications

Pharmaceuticals, food industry, cosmetics, and various industrial applications.

Product Functions

Texturizer: Improves the mouthfeel and texture of food products, enhancing overall sensory qualities
Stabilizer: Ensures stability in emulsions and suspensions, preventing separation and improving shelf life
Bulking Agent: Low-calorie alternative to fats and sugars, adding volume and weight without additional calories
Suspending Agent: Helps maintain the dispersion of solid particles in liquid formulations

Application Areas

Food Industry: Used in processed foods, sauces, dressings, and baked goods to enhance texture, stability, and bulk
Pharmaceuticals: Incorporated into tablets and capsules as a binder and disintegrant, improving drug delivery
Cosmetics and Personal Care: Employed in creams, lotions, and other formulations to improve texture and stability
Dietary Supplements: Acts as a filler and bulking agent in nutritional products

Manufacturing Process

Preparation: MCC is produced from cellulose through a controlled hydrolysis process that removes most of the amorphous cellulose, resulting in a crystalline structure
Purification: The product is purified to achieve desired functional properties and particle size distribution
Quality Control: Each batch is rigorously tested for purity, flowability, and compliance with regulatory standards
