Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC)
Microcrystalline Cellulose is a refined wood pulp, it is a natural fiber, white, odorless and tasteless powder composed of free-flowing extremely fine particles. It can be used to enhance food products such as meats, bakery items, dairy, etc..
Powdered Cellulose (PC)
Powdered Cellulose or Alpha Cellulose is a purified, mechanically disintegrated cellulose prepared from alphacellulose of fibrous plant materials. It is an odorless, tasteless, hydrophobic powder of various particle sizes, and forms. it is an inert substance, is not degraded during digestion and has no appreciable absorption and is useful to provide dietary bulk.
