About EASTCHEM Food Grade Microcrystalline Cellulose

Microcrystalline cellulose is a kind of purified and partially depolymerized cellulose,white, odorless, tasteless, crystalline powder composed of porous particles, with good fluidity. The main component is a linear polysaccharide substance bound by β-1,4-glucoside bonds. The degree of polymerization is about 3000~10000 glucose molecules. In general plant fibers, microcrystalline cellulose accounts for about 70%, and the other 30% is amorphous. It is insoluble in water, dilute acids, organic solvents and grease. It partially dissolves and swells in dilute alkali solutions. It has high reaction performance in the process of carboxymethylation, acetylation and esterification. Due to its special properties such as low polymerization degree and large specific surface area, microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in medicine, food, cosmetics and other industries. Properties:CAS NO.:9004-34-6Synonyms: alpha-CelluloseWF:(C6H10O5)nAppearance: white or off-white fine crystalline powderWater solubility: insoluble in water, dilute acid, dilute alkali and most organic solventsApplication:In tablet preparation, microcrystalline cellulose is used as an adsorbent, suspending agent, diluent, and disintegrant. It can also be used for wet granulation and dry direct compression. It also has a certain degree of lubrication and disintegration, which is very useful in tablet preparation. In the food industry, microcrystalline cellulose, as a kind of edible fiber and ideal health food additive, can maintain the stability of emulsification and foam, and can also be used as an anticaking agent, emulsifier, dispersant, and adhesive. In the field of daily chemicals, microcrystalline cellulose is used in the manufacture of a variety of cosmetics, care products and cleaning detergents.
