Wholesale Microcrystalline Cellulose Powder
Features
Microcrystalline cellulose powder is a white or off white fine particle made from finely processed natural cellulose, with uniform particle size and strong fluidity. Microcrystalline cellulose is a white or nearly white, odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic powdered cellulose. Microcrystalline cellulose powder exhibits excellent fluidity, uniform particle size distribution, and high packing density. Microcrystalline cellulose itself is insoluble in water, but it can exhibit good dispersibility in certain solvents or under specific conditions.
Market Prospects
The application of microcrystalline cellulose in various industries such as medicine, food, cosmetics, etc. continues to deepen and expand, especially in the fields of health food and functional beverages, pharmaceutical preparations, and environmentally friendly materials, where demand continues to grow. With the application of innovative technologies such as biosynthesis and nanotechnology, the quality and performance of microcrystalline cellulose will be further improved, and its application fields will become more extensive, bringing new growth points to the market. Microcrystalline cellulose, as a bio based and biodegradable material, meets the requirements of global environmental protection and sustainable development, and the market demand will continue to grow.
Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose Manufacturing Process
As one of the professional cellulose manufacturers,we select high-quality cellulose raw materials from natural plants are finely ground and purified to remove impurities, ensuring the purity and applicability of the raw materials. The use of advanced acid hydrolysis or biological enzymatic hydrolysis technology to precisely degrade cellulose and separate microcrystalline cellulose is the key to forming high-quality microcrystalline cellulose. Wash and filter the degraded mixture multiple times to thoroughly remove residues and ensure the purity and cleanliness of microcrystalline cellulose. By utilizing efficient drying techniques and precise control of temperature and humidity, microcrystalline cellulose is dried to an ideal state, followed by crushing and sieving to obtain uniform and fine microcrystalline cellulose powder. Conduct comprehensive quality testing on finished products, including key indicators such as particle size, moisture content, purity, etc., to ensure that each batch of products meets high standard requirements. Subsequently, packaging materials with good sealing properties are used to ensure the safety and stability of the product during transportation and storage.
Use Precautions
Usually, the recommended dosage for adults to use microcrystalline cellulose at a time is 10-25 grams, and the specific dosage needs to be adjusted according to the product’s purpose and personal constitution. In the food industry, the amount of microcrystalline cellulose added should comply with relevant standards. For example, the maximum usage for ice cream is 40g/kg, for cream and vegetable powder it is 20g/kg, and for high fiber foods such as bread it is 50g/kg.
Due to the potential impact of microcrystalline cellulose on fetal or infant health through the placental barrier or milk, these two groups of people should avoid using it or use it with caution under the guidance of a doctor. Microcrystalline cellulose needs to be metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidneys. Its use may worsen the condition in individuals with abnormal liver and kidney function, and should be used with caution. People who are allergic to microcrystalline cellulose should avoid using it to prevent allergic reactions.

Characteristics
- Good Stability: Microcrystalline cellulose has a tight molecular structure of cellulose, high crystallinity, and is not easily affected by factors such as temperature and humidity. It has good stability in different environments and can maintain stable physical and chemical properties under various conditions.
- Good Flowability: Microcrystalline cellulose particles are small, uniform, and have moderate intermolecular interactions, making them less prone to agglomeration. They have good flowability and can be easily used to manufacture various products.
- Good Water Absorption: Microcrystalline cellulose molecules contain a large number of hydrophilic groups, such as hydroxyl groups, which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules, thereby absorbing and retaining a large amount of water.
- Good Film-forming Properties: Microcrystalline cellulose molecular chains can interweave with each other in solution, forming a continuous network structure. When the solvent evaporates, a uniform thin film can be formed.
- Excellent Solubility: Although microcrystalline cellulose is insoluble in water, dilute acids, organic solvents, and oils, it can partially dissolve and swell in dilute alkaline solutions, allowing it to exert a dissolving effect under specific conditions.
- High Crystallinity: Microcrystalline cellulose has a tighter molecular structure of cellulose and more stable physical properties, with higher crystallinity than the originalcellulose.
Main Function
- Pharmaceutical Industry: Microcrystalline cellulose has become the preferred excipient and filler for solid formulations such as tablets and capsules due to its excellent compressibility, disintegration, and stability. Microcrystalline cellulose can effectively improve the solubility of drugs, ensure the uniform distribution of drug components, and enhance the bioavailability and efficacy of drugs. In addition, it can also be used as a sustained-release agent to control the drug release rate, prolong the drug action time, and meet the needs of special drug formulations.
- Food Industry: Microcrystalline cellulose, as a thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, and dietary fiber, can improve the texture, taste, and nutritional value of food. In jams, jellies, dairy products, baked goods, etc., microcrystalline cellulose can increase the viscosity of food, prevent food layering and precipitation, and improve the stability and taste of food. Meanwhile, it can also increase the dietary fiber content in food, promote intestinal peristalsis, and aid digestion and health.
- Cosmetics Industry: Microcrystalline cellulose has become an important ingredient in many cosmetic formulations due to its excellent thickening, emulsifying, and adsorption properties. It can be used in facial mask, eye cream, foundation make-up and other cosmetics to improve the consistency and stability of the product, so that oily ingredients and water-based ingredients can be evenly mixed to form a fine and even texture. In addition, microcrystalline cellulose can also adsorb oil and dirt on the surface of the skin, keeping the skin fresh and enhancing the effectiveness of cosmetics.
- Building Materials Industry: Microcrystalline cellulose can improve the mechanical properties such as tensile strength and bending strength of building materials, and enhance the formability and durability of materials. Meanwhile, microcrystalline cellulose can also be used to prepare environmentally friendly coatings and sound insulation materials, improving the sound insulation effect and aesthetics of buildings.
