- Cellulose is the main
component of higher plant cell walls and one of the most abundant
organic compounds on earth. It is also formed by some algae, fungi,
bacteria, and marine animals
-
Commercial sources of
cellulose include wood pulp or cotton linters; the short fibers
remaining on cottonseeds after the
long fibers are removed. Cotton fibers are about 98% cellulose, while
wood is 40-50% cellulose
- Cellulose can also be
produced from various other plant fibers, such as corn cobs or stalks,
soybean hulls, bagasse , oat hulls, rice hulls, wheat straw, sugar beet
pulp, bamboo, and fibers such as jute, flax, and ramie among others
- Microcrystalline
cellulose is purified, partially depolymerized cellulose. A fine, white,
odorless crystalline powder.
Insoluble in water, in dilute acids, in most organic solvents, also
insoluble in dilute sodium hydroxide solutions -
Microcrystalline
cellulose powders are the most important pharmaceutical excipients
used in tableting, especially for direct compression
-
MCC has quality and
performance
advantages in tablet filling, and
binding uses, including good compaction under low compression pressure. -
Microcrystalline
cellulose is made from fibrous cellulose (mainly wood pulp), which
consists of an ordered region (microcrystal) and a less-ordered region
(amorphous regions)
-
Microcrystalline
cellulose is a white, odorless tasteless, extra flowing powder which is
relatively free from organic and non organic contaminants.
-
Microcrystalline
cellulose used as anti caking agents, stabilizes foams, stabilizes
emulsions, extend starches etc
-
The world food market for
MCC is estimated to be above DKK 500 million
