Description
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a highly purified, partially depolymerized form of cellulose obtained from refined plant-based cellulose materials. It is a white or almost white, odourless, tasteless, free-flowing powder that is widely used as a functional excipient, texturizing agent, stabilizer, binder, bulking agent, anti-caking agent and processing aid.
MCC is one of the most important cellulose-derived functional ingredients used across the pharmaceutical, food, nutraceutical, cosmetic, personal-care and selected industrial sectors. Its popularity comes from its combination of excellent physical properties, chemical stability, low reactivity and versatility.
