About Micro Crystlline & Cellulose Powder
Micro Crystlline & Cellulose Powder
Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production. The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets.
Exceptional Purity and PerformanceOur Micro Crystalline & Cellulose Powder is manufactured to an assay of at least 99%, ensuring maximum effectiveness as a binder, disintegrant, and excipient. The fine powder is odorless and white, with a consistent appearance suitable for stringent quality requirements in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic formulations.
Versatile Applications Across IndustriesWith its thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying properties, MCC is a preferred choice in tablet formulations, food processing, and personal care products. Its non-GMO, allergen-free, and non-irradiated status makes it safe for a wide range of uses in global markets.
Quality Assured for Global StandardsProduced in India and exported globally, our MCC adheres to rigorous microbial limits (total aerobic microbial count <1000 cfu/g, yeast & mold <100 cfu/g) and contains minimal heavy metals (0.001%). Each batch is tested to guarantee compliance with international quality and safety standards.
