1.What is Microcrystalline Cellulose?

Microcrystalline cellulose stabilizes foams and emulsions, especially during high-temperature processing; forms ointment-like gels; improves the heat resistance of pectin and starch gels; improves adhesion; replaces fats and oils; and controls the growth of ice crystals. The ability of microcrystalline cellulose to stabilize emulsions and foams is due to the fact that microcrystalline cellulose adsorbs at the interface and reinforces the interfacial membrane, making microcrystalline cellulose a commonly used ingredient in low-fat ice creams and other frozen confectionery products. Widely used in oral preparations and foods, this product is relatively non-toxic and non-irritating. Oral non-absorption, almost no potential toxicity. It can cause mild diarrhea when used in large quantities, and is not harmful as an excipient in pharmaceutical preparations.

2.How is Microcrystalline Cellulose produced?

Steaming of plant material with a sulfite solution or an alkali solution, primarily to remove lignin, is known as the sulfite method and the alkali method, respectively. Selected industrial wood pulp board sparse, and then sent to the reactor has been added 1% to 10% of hydrochloric acid (dosage of 5% to 10%) for temperature hydrolysis, temperature 90 ~ 100 ℃, hydrolysis time 0.5 ~ 2h, after the end of the reaction after cooling to send people to the neutralization tank, adjusted to neutral with liquid alkali, filtered filter cake at 80 ~ 100 ℃ drying, and finally crushed to get the product. Cellulose made from wood pulp or cotton pulp. Refined by bleaching treatment and mechanical dispersion.

3.How is Microcrystalline Cellulose stored and distributed?

1. Temperature requirements: microcrystalline cellulose raw materials in the storage process need to avoid too high or too low temperature. Generally speaking, its storage temperature should be within the range of room temperature, preferably between 20-25 degrees Celsius. Generally speaking, the storage temperature should be within the room temperature range, preferably between 20-25 degrees Celsius. 2. Humidity requirements: microcrystalline cellulose raw materials are very sensitive to humidity, easy to absorb moisture in the air and lead to caking. The moisture in the air and lead to agglomeration. Therefore, avoid humid environment when storing. Generally speaking, the humidity control in the relative Generally speaking, humidity control in the relative humidity does not exceed 60% of the conditions.

4.What is Microcrystalline Cellulose used for?

In the food industry, microcrystalline cellulose, as a kind of edible fiber and an ideal health food additive, can maintain the stability of emulsification and foam, maintain the stability of high temperature, and improve the stability of the liquid, which was certified and approved by the Joint Food Additives Appraisal Committee (JFAC) belonging to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO), and the corresponding fiber commodities appeared, and they have been widely applied to the dairy products, frozen foods, meat products, and so on. Microcrystalline cellulose is a common ingredient in low-fat ice cream and other frozen sweet products.
