Microcrystalline Cellulose - JCELL(101) Cellulose is an unadulterated partially depolymerized cellulose synthesized from alpha-cellulose precursor (type I-beta), obtained as a pulp from plant objects, with mineral acids using HCl acid to lessen the degree of polymerization.

Microcrystalline cellulose is the usually utilized spheronization assistance in the formulation bearing extrusion spheronization. It is accessible in different particle sizes and grades. From all of the various grades and brands of microcrystalline cellulose, MCC 101 is the most broadly used one. Microcrystalline cellulose 101 helps in the formation of spheres due to its unique characteristics. MCC 101 is a filamentous material, like other cellulosic materials, with high internal porosity, a large surface area, and high moisture-retaining property.

Aqueous suspensions of microcrystalline cellulose have uniform viscosity over a broad spectrum of temperatures, have good mouth-feel features, and are heat stable. It is utilized to enlarge starches, control ice formation, and stabilize foams. It is accepted widely in the food industry for whipped toppings, ice cream, meringue, and confections and also is utilized as a binder on cosmetics and pharmaceutical tablets.
