Microcrystalline Cellulose

    Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is mainly composed of linear polysaccharides bonded by β-1,4-glucosidic bonds. It is a white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder composed of extremely fine short rods or powdery porous particles that can flow freely after natural cellulose is hydrolyzed by dilute acid to the limit degree of polymerization (LODP).
    In general plant fibers, microcrystalline cellulose accounts for about 70%, and the other 30% is amorphous. Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, food and other industries. Different particle sizes and water contents have different characteristics and application ranges.
