High quality competitive price colloidal MCC
What is Colloidal MCC?
Colloidal Microcrystalline Cellulose Colloidal MCC (CAS 9004-34-6), chemically represented as (C₆H₁₀O₅)ₙ, is a purified cellulose derivative widely recognized for its versatility. Globally, over 200,000 metric tons of MCC are produced annually, according to a 2023 Grand View Research report. Its unique properties make it indispensable across industries:
- Pharmaceuticals: Binds tablets with 30-35% efficiency, replacing synthetic additives.
- Food: Reduces fat content by up to 30% in low-calorie products (Journal of Food Science, 2022).
- Cosmetics: Stabilizes creams at viscosities between 50–200 mPa·s, outperforming alternatives like xanthan gum.

Colloidal MCC in food has several key applications, including:
- Texture Modifier: It is used to improve the texture of food products, providing a smooth and creamy consistency. Colloidal MCC helps to thicken sauces, dressings, and other liquid-based foods, enhancing their mouthfeel and overall appeal.
- Fat Replacer: Due to its ability to mimic the sensory properties of fat, Colloidal MCCcan be used as a partial or complete fat replacer in foods. This not only reduces the calorie content but also helps maintain the desired texture and taste.
- Stabilizer: In emulsions, suspensions, and foams, Colloidal MCC acts as a stabilizer, preventing ingredients from separating or settling out. This ensures a uniform and stable appearance of the food product over time.
- Carrier Agent: Colloidal MCC can serve as a carrier for flavors, colors, and other functional ingredients in foods. It effectively disperses and distributes these additives throughout the product, ensuring even distribution and consistent sensory properties.
- Dietary Fiber Source: As a source of dietary fiber, Colloidal MCC contributes to the overall fiber content of foods. This can have beneficial effects on gut health and digestion, as well as potentially aid in weight management.
- Sustainable Alternative: Colloidal MCC is derived from natural cellulose, making it a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to some synthetic food additives. Its use in foods aligns with the growing trend of eco-conscious consumer preferences.
All products meet USP/NF, FCC, and EP standards, with batch-to-batch consistency guaranteed:
Key Insight: The <1% particle retention ensures smooth texture in pharmaceutical tablets, reducing production rejects by 12–18% (PharmaTech Journal, 2021).
