Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a food-grade purified, partially depolymerised cellulose prepared by acid hydrolysis of alpha-cellulose from wood pulp.We supply bulk Microcrystalline Cellulose sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form to meet global food industry demand. Our Microcrystalline Cellulose is widely used in low-calorie foods, ice cream, shredded cheese and spice blends, pharmaceuticals and dressings and beverages.
Microcrystalline Cellulose (E460, MCC) is produced by hydrolysing wood-pulp cellulose with dilute mineral acid to remove amorphous regions, leaving crystalline micro-particles.
Food-grade MCC is available in various particle sizes and grades (powder and colloidal) and functions as a calorie-free bulking agent, fat replacer, emulsion stabiliser, and tablet-compression excipient.
