Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC), mainly composed of straight chain polysaccharides bonded by β-1, 4-glucoside bonds, is a white, odorless and tasteless crystalline powder composed of extremely fine free-flowing short-rod-shaped or powdery porous particles of natural cellulose hydrolyzed by dilute acid to the limit degree of polymerization (LOOP).Microcrystalline cellulose accounts for about 70% of the common plant fibers, and the other 30% is amorphous.Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and other industries. Different particle size and water content have different characteristics and application scope.
