Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), mainly composed of β- A straight chain polysaccharide substance bonded with 1,4-glucoside bonds [1] is a white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder composed of naturally occurring cellulose hydrolyzed to a limit degree of polymerization (LODP) by dilute acid and freely flowing, short rod-shaped or powdery, porous particles.
In general plant fibers, microcrystalline cellulose accounts for about 70%, and the other 30% is amorphous. Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and other industries, with different particle sizes and water content having different characteristics and application ranges.
Due to the unique structure and properties of microcrystalline cellulose, it is widely used as a disintegrant, stabilizing emulsifier, and other national economic sectors such as medicine and health, food and beverage, and light chemical industry. Due to the widespread presence of cellulose in nature, hundreds of billions of tons of cellulose rich biomass residues can be produced globally every year. If these residues are well converted and utilized, they will be a rich resource. In China, with the expansion of production scale and improvement of product grade in tanning, daily chemical, pharmaceutical, food, and chlor-alkali industries, the demand for microcrystalline cellulose is increasing year by year, so microcrystalline cellulose has broad market prospects. [4] In foreign countries, microcrystalline cellulose has been listed in the FDA Safety Assessment Criteria for Food Additives (GRAS) in the United States, approved for use as a food additive in Europe, and included in the FDA's "Guidelines for Inactive Ingredients", and approved for use in non injection formulations in the United Kingdom
