Micro Crystalline Cellulose

Microcrystalline cellulose is a term for refined wood pulp and is used as a texturizer, an anti-caking agent,
a fat substitute, an emulsifier, an extender, and a bulking agent in food production. The most
common form is used in vitamin supplements or tablets. It is also used in plaque assays for counting
viruses, as an alternative to carboxymethylcellulose.
