  • Microcrystalline Cellulose Compositions
    Publication number: 20140322282
    Abstract: Ultra-fine microcrystalline cellulose compositions are disclosed which comprise co-attrited microcrystalline cellulose and a hydrocolloid. The compositions have a mean particle size of less than 10 microns. The compositions are prepared by subjecting a high solids mixture of microcrystalline cellulose and a hydrocolloid to high shear forces in the presence of an anti slip agent preferably an aqueoussolution of an inorganic salt. The compositions are especially useful in food, pharmaceutical and cosmetic and industrial applications.
