Uses and synthesis methods of Microcrystalline Cellulose:

Xi'an Henrikang Biotech Co., Ltd., Specializing in the production of pharmaceutical Excipient, Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder Excipient Factory Manufacturers, Suppliers From China. Microcrystalline cellulose (Microcrystallinecellulose, MCC) is a natural cellulose by acid hydrolysis to limit the product of the degree of polymerization, its color is white or almost white, odorless, tasteless, particle size is generally about 2 ~ 80 microns, the advantages of small density, high modulus, renewable, biodegradable, sources and other advantages, It can be used as a reinforcing agent to improve the properties of composite materials. Properties Microcrystalline cellulose generally has a low density of freeze-drying and a high density of spray drying. The moisture content is about 5%. Microcrystalline cellulose is dispersible but insoluble in water, insoluble in dilute acids, organic solvents and oils, swollen and partially dissolved in dilute alkali solutions. Disperse microcrystalline cellulose powder in water, white transparent gel or paste, except for very thin, placed for many years still stable.

Application of Microcrystalline Cellulose:

Microcrystalline Cellulose is mainly used as non-caloric food additives, pharmaceutical excipients and dispersants, thin layer chromatography and column chromatography fillers, color carriers for dyes and pigments, thermosetting resins and thermosetting laminates of reinforcement filler, coating, emulsifier, can also be used in the water based paint and ceramic industry. Filter aid: anti-caking agent, binder; Compatibilizer; Crushing agent; Dispersant; Tissue improver; Thickening agent; Water quality treatment agent. EEC regulations for beer purification. GB 2760-96 is specified as a processing aid. The EEC-HACSG stipulates that it should not be used in baby food. Adhesives and disintegrators for direct tablet pressing, also food additives, according to EEC regulations, can be used in high fiber bread; Low-calorie sweets, biscuits, cakes and breads; Fillers for colors, flavors and edible acids; Dehydrated food, snack food and bionic fruit slices, etc. As anti-caking agent, Chinese regulations can be used for powder flavor, the maximum usage is 50g/kg; Can also be used for ice cream, the maximum usage of 40g.kg; Can also be used for thin cream and plant fat powder, the maximum use of 20.0g/kg.

Many useful products can be derived from the esterification or etherification of the hydroxyl group in cellulose polymers. The actual application of cellulose esters are: cellulose nitrate ester, cellulose acetate, cellulose butyrate acetate and cellulose flavate ester. Cellulose ether: methyl cellulose, carboxymethyl cellulose, ethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, cyanoethyl cellulose, hydroxypropyl cellulose and hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose. In addition, there are ester ether mixed derivatives.
