The microcrystalline cellulose can be applied in food and pharm industry,such as biscuits,bread,essence,grandules,tabellets.
1.Biscuits and bread
In the first place ,microcrystalline cellulose is a natural dietary fiber so it can be used as an ideal dietary fiber supplement;
Secondly,microcrystalline cellulose can improve the water retention and prolong the shelf life.
Recommended usage: 2.0-3.0%
2.Essence and pigment
Firstly, microcrystalline cellulose can be used as the carrier of essence and pigment,because its porous property can adsorb water
Oil, alcohol and other components
Then microcrystalline cellulose is an excellent anti caking agent and flow aid because it has very good fluidity.
Recommended dosage: 2.0-5.0%
3.Tablet candy, chewing tablets, sports energy food
Firstly,Microcrystalline cellulose has excellent compressibility and can be used in tablet candy, health food and other products;
Then microcrystalline cellulose with small particle size has a delicate mouth so it can be used in chewing tablets.
Recommended dosage: 10-40%
1.Granules and tablets
Microcrystalline cellulose is adhesive and molding agent in tablets due to high compressibility;
Microcrystalline cellulose can be used as sustained release agent in medicine;
Also it is widely used as diluent and carrier in granules
2.Pellets
First, microcrystalline cellulose can also be used to make blank pellet cores, and the process is simple;
Second,the pellets made of microcrystalline cellulose have good roundness,and low brittleness
Third,microcrystalline cellulose can be widely used in pellets, core and capsules
