Product Details
Product Name: | Microcrystalline Cellulose |
Microcrystalline cellulose is a type of cellulose that has a crystalline structure with particles ranging in size from 2 to 10 microns. Microcrystalline Cellulose is typically produced by treating alpha-cellulose, an insoluble polymer found in plants, with strong acids and/or enzymes to remove impurities.
This process results in a pure, white, odorless, and tasteless powder that is highly absorbent and can hold large amounts of water. This makes microcrystalline cellulose an excellent bulking agent and binder for tablets, capsules, and other pharmaceutical formulations.
In the food industry, microcrystalline cellulose is widely used as an anti-caking agent and stabilizer in a variety of products, including baked goods, dairy products, sauces, and dressings. Microcrystalline Cellulose acts as a bulking agent in low-calorie and low-fat foods such as reduced-fat cheese, ice cream, and yogurt.
In cosmetics, microcrystalline cellulose is used as a thickener, emulsifier, and texturizer in creams, lotions, and other personal care products.
Industrial and Feed Additive Application: It serves as a reinforcing filler in biodegradable plastic and paper manufacturing to boost material hardness and dimensional stability. In animal feed production, microcrystalline cellulose functions as a dietary fiber carrier, evenly distributing vitamins and trace elements while improving feed digestion for livestock and poultry.
Some benefits of using microcrystalline cellulose in various industries include:
- Improved flowability and consistency of powders and liquids
- Enhanced texture and mouthfeel of foods
- Extended shelf life of products
- Reduced cost of production due to its low cost, high dilution ability, and non-reactive nature.
In conclusion, microcrystalline cellulose has a wide range of applications in various industries due to its unique physical and chemical properties, making it a versatile and popular ingredient.

Coated Feed ProductsCoated Feed Products refer to animal feeds or supplements whose surfaces are covered with protective or functional coatings like fats, starches, or sugars. This technology preserves heat-labile nutrients such as vitamins (A, C, D3) and enzymes from oxidation, decomposition, or moisture damage during storage and processing. Coatings also mask unpleasant tastes (e.g., of enrofloxacin for swine) and enhance palatability, boosting animal intake . Applied via automated coaters ensuring uniform coverage, these products support targeted nutrient release and reduce cross-contamination in production. Widely used in livestock, poultry, and aquaculture, they maintain nutritional integrity, improve feed stability, and ultimately enhance animal health and productivity.SNC00813Send Inquiry
Rumen-Protected CholineRumen-Protected Choline (RPC) is a specialized form of choline used in animal nutrition. Choline is essential for animal growth and health, but it needs to be absorbed in the small intestine. RPC is encapsulated to protect it from degradation in the rumen, ensuring it can reach the small intestine intact. Studies have shown that RPC can increase milk production in cows, reduce metabolic disorders such as ketosis, and may also benefit the growth and health of calves. It is typically used during the transition period of cows, from a few weeks before calving to a few months after.SNC00812Send Inquiry
Inosine 5'-Monophosphate Disodium Salt (IMP)Inosine 5'-Monophosphate Disodium Salt (IMP), with the molecular formula C₁₀H₁₂N₄Na₂O₈P, is a nucleotide derivative widely used in food and biopharmaceutical fields. Primarily functioning as a flavor enhancer, it amplifies umami taste—often paired with monosodium glutamate (MSG) to create a synergistic effect that enriches food flavors, commonly added to sauces, snacks, and processed meats. Biochemically, it serves as an intermediate in purine metabolism, participating in nucleic acid synthesis and energy transfer in organisms. In pharmaceuticals, it aids in treating conditions like liver disorders and myocardial ischemia by supporting cellular energy production and tissue repair. It is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies, with low toxicity, making it a versatile ingredient across industries.SNC00810Send Inquiry
Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA)Ethylenediaminetetraacetic Acid (EDTA) is a synthetic organic compound with the chemical formula C₁₀H₁₆N₂O₈. It is best known as a chelating agent—a substance that binds tightly to metal ions like calcium, magnesium, iron, and lead, forming stable, water-soluble complexes. In industrial settings, EDTA is used to prevent metal-catalyzed degradation in products like detergents, cosmetics, and food preservatives. In medicine, its sodium or calcium salts treat heavy metal poisoning (e.g., lead poisoning) by chelating toxic metals and facilitating their excretion. It also finds use in laboratory research, such as in cell culture media to sequester metal ions that might interfere with experiments. However, EDTA’s strong metal-binding property raises environmental concerns, as it can leach heavy metals from soil and wastewater, potentially harming aquatic ecosystems. This has led to restrictions on its use in some regions.SNC00809Send Inquiry
