Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder

Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder: High-Purity Functional Excipient

Microcrystalline cellulose powder, also known as MCC or cellulose gel, is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose with a degree of polymerization of approximately 3,000 to 10,000 glucose molecules. It is obtained by hydrolyzing natural cellulose to its limiting degree of polymerization using dilute acid. Microcrystalline cellulose powder is widely used as an excipient, binder, and disintegrant in tablets; a suspending agent in liquid formulations; a stabilizer and binder in food; and a stabilizer, binder, disintegrant, and processing aid in cosmetics.

YTBIO's microcrystalline cellulose exhibits excellent processing performance and formulation compatibility, and can be used as a filler, binder, and disintegrant. It can also improve product structure and production efficiency.

Main Uses

Food

Beverages: It can make instant beverages form stable colloidal solutions, improve dispersibility and stability. Adding stabilizers composed of microcrystalline cellulose, starch and maltodextrin to instant chocolate or cocoa beverages can prevent the powder from getting damp and agglomerating, and make the brewed beverages highly stable and dispersible.

Baked foods: Such as bread and cakes, it can enhance the toughness and gas retention of the dough, making the finished product softer and fluffier.

Dairy products: Adding microcrystalline cellulose to yogurt can effectively ensure the stability of dairy products.

Cosmetics

Emulsion: It can thicken and emulsify, making it more delicate, uniform and stable.

Shampoo: It helps to improve the performance of shampoo, such as emulsified body shampoo and particle-containing shampoo, improve suspension stability and improve viscosity stability at high and low temperatures.

Facial mask: The colloid formed by its water suspension under mechanical force can stabilize the emulsion and has good moisturizing properties.

Makeup: In makeup, it is mainly used in foundation, concealer, eye shadow and other products. It can enhance the covering power, improve the color saturation and make the makeup more perfect.

Medical and health care

Tablet excipient: MCC can be directly pressed into tablets, simplify the process and improve production efficiency.

Capsule filler: used to fill capsules to ensure the uniform distribution and stability of health products and drugs in capsules.

Disintegrant: promotes the rapid disintegration of health products and drugs in the body, accelerates release and absorption.

Suspending agent for suspension: increases the stability of suspension and prevents the sedimentation of drug particles.
