The Process of Microcrystalline Cellulose Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is the crystalline fiber with a degree of polymerization of about 220 and a relative molecular weight of 36,000, obtained by strong acid hydrolysis of the fiber with a high degree of crystallinity to remove the amorphous part of it. Its dispersibility in water, crystallinity.. read more →
what is microcrystalline cellulose? MCC (microcrystalline cellulose) is a kind of purified and partially depolymerized cellulose, white, odorless, tasteless and in the shape of crystalline powder made up of porous particles. MCC is widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetics, food and other industries. Different particle sizes and moisture contents have different characteristics and applications… read more →
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a very fine, white short rod or amorphous crystalline powder, made from hydrolysis of natural cellulose with dilute acid to reach the levelling off degree of polymerization, odorless and tasteless. The particle size is usually between 20 and 80 micrometers, and the levelling off degree of polymerization.. read more →
Microcrystalline Cellulose Properties It is a white fine crystalline powder, odorless and tasteless, made from free-flowing non-fibrous particles and compressed by its self-adhesion effects. It can be rapidly dispersed in water into the tablet, but insoluble in water, dilute acid or alkali solution, solution and most organic solvents, and can absorb water to swell. .. read more →
Colloidal Microcrystalline Cellulose Another product of microcrystalline cellulose is the colloid (i.e. Colloidal MCC), with MCC powder as the raw material to prepare an aqueous solution of a certain concentration, and then to become the colloid through a special apparatus for gelling. Colloidal MCC has the following properties. (1). It is a thixotropic colloid,.. read more →
Excipient – Microcrystalline Cellulose Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a free-flowing crystalline powder (a non-fibrous microparticle). It is insoluble in water, dilute acids and most organic solvents, but slightly soluble in the alkali solution of 20%. It has a wide range of uses in the pharmaceutical excipients and can be directly used for tabletting of.. read more →
Superfine Edible Cellulose – Microcrystalline Cellulose The superfine edible cellulose, i.e., Microcrystalline Cellulose, MCC for short, is a granular powder product with a size of about 10μm, obtained from the hydrolysis of the natural cellulose in an acidic medium, making the molecular weight reduced to a certain range. It is mainly used in the.. read more →
Application of Microcrystalline Cellulose—Avicel in Medicine Avicel is the foreign trade name, composed by mixing the product with sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in different proportions. For example, Avicel -RC-591 contains 11%（±1）CMC; while Avicel -RC-581 contains 8.5%（±1）CMC. These models are used in the food industry. Products of Avicel PH models are used for the pharmaceutical.. read more →
Difference between Methyl Cellulose (MC) and Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) 1. Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose is easily soluble in cold water but difficult to be soluble in hot water. However, its gelling temperature in hot water is significantly higher than that of methyl cellulose (MC). And compared with Methyl Cellulose, the dissolution in cold water has.. read more →
Rheological Property of Methyl cellulose Solution The rheological property of Methyl cellulose plays a very important role in many practical applications. In coatings, cosmetics, food industry and building material products, it is bound to affect their flow behavior. The viscosity of Newtonian fluid is not dependent on the shear rate (or the gradient.. read more →
