Microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) is a natural polymer which is made from glucose units associated by a 1-4 beta glycosidic bond, its obtained from fibrous plant material, with molecular formula C14H26O11. It is utilized as a texturizer, a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production.
