Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a non-caloric purified form of cellulose. MCC is white, odorless, tasteless, porous powder. It is derived from wood pulp or refined cotton. It is used as a bulking, anti-caking, and emulsifying agent, used as a food additive. The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets. It is also used in plaque assays for counting viruses, as an alternative to carboxymethylcellulose. MCC is a partially depolymerized cellulose in pure form, generally synthesized from -cellulose precursor. The microcrystalline cellulose can be synthesizing by as a reactive extrusion, acid hydrolysis, steam explosion and enzyme mediated synthesis.
MCC is widely used in the pharmaceutical industry as a binder or diluent in the formulation of tablets and capsules. It is used as a substitute to unhealthy fat, as nutrients and used to creates texture for baked food products. Due to rich fiber contain, it helps in improving the digestion. In the food & beverage industry, its playing important role as an anti-caking agent, texture modifier, suspending agent, stabilizer, and other applications. It is mostly found in processed food and is ideally a healthy food additive. It is also used in personal care products such as skin care, hair care, and oral care product to improve their effectiveness.
