I-Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) yindalo ye-cellulose polymer esetyenziswa ngokubanzi njenge-filler, i-binder, kunye ne-disintegrant kumashishini amayeza kunye nokutya. Iqulethwe ngamancinci amancinci, alinganayo anesakhiwo se-crystalline, kwaye iveliswa ngokuphatha i-cellulose ecocekileyo kunye ne-mineral acids, elandelwa ukuhlanjululwa kunye nokutshiza ukutshiza.

I-MCC ngumgubo omhlophe, ongenavumba, nongenancasa onganyibilikiyo emanzini nakwizinyibilikisi ezininzi eziphilayo. Inokunyanzeliswa okugqwesileyo, okwenza kube yinto ekhethiweyo yokwenziwa kwethebhulethi, njengoko ingasetyenziselwa ukuphucula ukuhamba kunye nokufana kwezinto ezisebenzayo kwithebhulethi. I-MCC ikwaneepropati ezilungileyo zokubopha, ezinceda ukubamba ithebhulethi kunye ngexesha lokwenziwa kunye nokuthutha.

Ukongeza ekusebenziseni kumashishini amayeza kunye nokutya, i-MCC iphinda isetyenziswe kwezinye izicelo, ezifana nokuveliswa kwephepha kunye nekhadibhodi, kunye namashishini okwakha kunye nepeyinti. I-MCC ngokuqhelekileyo ibonwa njengekhuselekile ukuba ingasetyenziswa ngabantu kwaye yamkelwe zii-arhente ezilawulayo ezifana ne-FDA kunye ne-EFSA.
