Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder composed of extremely fine short rod-shaped or powdery porous particles that can flow freely. The main components are linear polysaccharides bound by β-1,4-glucosidic bonds. In general plant fibers, microcrystalline cellulose accounts for about 70%, and the other 30% is amorphous. Microcrystalline cellulose is widely used in cosmetics, food and other industries. Different particle sizes and moisture contents have different characteristics and application ranges.
