Name : Microcrystalline Cellulose
Shape : White powder
Due to the unique structure and properties of microcrystalline cellulose, it is widely used as disintegrating agent and stabilizing emulsifier in medicine and health, food and beverage, light chemical industry and other national economic sectors.Because cellulose is widely found in nature, hundreds of billions of tons of cellulose-rich biomass residues can be produced globally every year. If these residues are well transformed and utilized, it will be a rich resource.In China, with the expansion of production scale and the improvement of product grade in tanning, daily chemical, medicine, food and chlor-alkali industries, the demand for microcrystalline cellulose is increasing year by year, so microcrystalline cellulose has a broad market prospect.[4] Abroad, microcrystalline cellulose has been listed in the Food Additive Safety Index (GRAS) of the US FDA, approved as a food additive in Europe and included in the Inactive Ingredients Guide of the FDA, and approved for non-injectable preparations in the UK.
The particle size is generally between 20 and 80 μm, and the limit degree of polymerization (LODP) is between 15 and 375. They are non-fibrous and highly fluid.[3] Insoluble in water, dilute acid, organic solvents and oil, partially dissolved in dilute alkali solution, swelling, in carboxymethylation, acetylation, esterification process has a high reaction performance.Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in medicine, food, cosmetics and other industries due to its special properties such as low degree of polymerization and large specific surface area.
