Microcrystalline cellulose Properties
Microcrystalline cellulose is mainly composed of linear polysaccharides linked by β-1,4-glucosidic bonds. It is a white, odorless, tasteless crystalline powder composed of free-flowing extremely fine short rods or powdery porous particles obtained by hydrolyzing natural cellulose with dilute acid to the limiting degree of polymerization (LODP).
