Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC)

is a term for refined wood pulp. It has applications as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production. The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets.

We contract manufacturer Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) at the state of the art facility, which has US FDA and other required licenses. We are also authorized representative of the manufacturer of the raw material required to manufacture MCC. Our products meet international standards of quality

The composition of MCC has glucose units connected by a 1-4 beta glycosidic bond and considered to be naturally occurring polymer. These linear cellulose chains bundled together as microfibril spiralled together in the walls of the plant cell. Each microfibril exhibits a high degree of three-dimensional internal bonding resulting in a crystalline structure that is insoluble in water and resistant to reagents. There are, however, relatively weak segments of the microfibril with weaker internal bonding. These are called amorphous regions; some argue that they are more accurately called dislocations because of the single-phase structure of microfibrils. The crystalline region is isolated to produce microcrystalline cellulose.
