MCC is commonly used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and binding agent in various applications, including food and pharmaceutical industries .
In the food industry, MCC is utilized for its functional properties such as texture modification, suspension of solids, heat stability, fat replacement, ice crystal control, and as a bulking agent . It is also used as an anti-caking agent, drying agent, flavor enhancer, and humectant . MCC contributes to the improvement of the overall emulsion in ice cream, preventing the formation of ice crystals, and improving mouthfeel . When used in combination with carboxymethyl cellulose, it can increase the suspension of cocoa powder in milk beverages .
MCC is produced through a process that involves the acid hydrolysis of cellulose derived from wood pulp or cotton linters, followed by a series of washing, filtering, and drying steps . The final product is a fine white powder that is capable of rapidly disintegrating in water.
