MCC Microcrystalline Cellulose
Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) is a high-purity, plant-derived powder made from refined wood pulp. It is widely used as a functional excipient or additive in the pharmaceutical, food, and personal care industries.
For manufacturers, MCC offers excellent binding, bulking, stabilizing, and anti-caking properties — all without affecting flavor, color, or odor.
It is chemically inert, highly compressible, and safe, making it an ideal choice for direct compression tablets, dietary supplements, fat-reduced foods, and stable emulsions in creams or lotions.
