What Is The Difference Between Microcrystalline Cellulose And Cellulose?

 

MCC microcrystalline cellulose is a white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder obtained by hydrolyzing natural cellulose with dilute acid to the maximum degree of polymerization.

 

 

1. Safety and Non-Toxicity:
It is naturally derived, safe and non-toxic.

 

2. Thickening and Stabilizing Effects:
It forms a gel in aqueous systems, improving the texture of food and cosmetics.

 

3. Drug Additives:
Microcrystalline cellulose powder can be used as a binder and disintegrant to accelerate drug release.

 

4. Intestinal Health:
It acts as a dietary fiber, improving intestinal motility and relieving constipation.

 

5. Blood Pressure Lowering:

Its low calorie content makes it suitable for weight loss products and helps control blood sugar and blood pressure.
