Microcrystalline Cellulose Gel (MCC Gel, co-processed MCC + CMC-Na) is a food-grade water-dispersible stabiliser that forms thixotropic gels when hydrated.We supply bulk Microcrystalline Cellulose Gel sourced from leading China manufacturers, available in powder form for international food processing operations. Our Microcrystalline Cellulose Gel is widely used in pasteurised dairy beverages, plant-based milk stabilisation, frozen desserts, sauces and cream cheese. CAS No.: 9004-34-6 / 9004-32-4 | HS Code: 39129090 | E Number: E460 / E466
MCC Gel is a co-processed mixture of Microcrystalline Cellulose and Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC-Na), engineered to form stable three-dimensional networks in aqueous systems.
It delivers freeze-thaw stability, heat stability to 120 °C, acid tolerance, and cream-mouthfeel enhancement. This makes it essential for UHT dairy, neutral-pH beverages, cocoa drinks and reduced-fat products.
