Product Description
1. Microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production.The most common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets.
2. It is also used as an alternative to carboxymethylcellulose.In many ways, cellulose makes the ideal excipient.
Application
1. Bakery Goods: In baking, MCC can improve the texture and shelf life of bread, cakes, and other baked goods by adding structure and maintaining moisture.
2. Low-Calorie Foods: As a non-digestible fiber, it can replace some of the fat in recipes, reducing the calorie content of foods.
3. Dairy Alternatives: MCC is used in plant-based milk and cheese alternatives to create a texture similar to dairy products.
4. Meat Analogs: It provides a meat-like texture in vegetarian and vegan meat substitutes.
5. Coating Agent: MCC is used as a coating agent for candies and chewable tablets, reducing stickiness and improving handling.
6. Gluten-Free Products: It is often used in gluten-free baking to help with texture and structure since it does not contain gluten.
7. Nutritional Bars: In the production of energy bars and nutrition bars, MCC adds fiber and helps to bind ingredients together.
