I-Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) iyi-polymer ye-cellulose eyenzeka ngokwemvelo esetshenziswa kabanzi njenge-filler, i-binder, kanye ne-disintegrant ezimbonini zemithi nezokudla. Yakhiwa izinhlayiya ezincane, ezinobukhulu obufanayo ezinesakhiwo sekristalu, futhi ikhiqizwa ngokuphatha i-cellulose ehlanzekile kakhulu ngama-mineral acids, okulandelwa ukuhlanzwa nokumiswa kwesifutho.

I-MCC iyimpushana emhlophe, engenaphunga, futhi engenambitheki futhi engancibiliki emanzini nasezincibilikisini eziningi eziphilayo. Inokucindezelwa okuhle kakhulu, okwenza kube ukukhetha okudumile kokukhiqizwa kwethebhulethi, njengoba ingasetshenziswa ukuthuthukisa ukugeleza nokufana kwezithako ezisebenzayo kuthebhulethi. I-MCC futhi inezakhiwo ezinhle zokubopha, ezisiza ukubamba ithebhulethi ndawonye ngesikhathi sokukhiqiza nokuthutha.

Ngaphezu kokusetshenziswa kwayo ezimbonini zemithi nokudla, i-MCC iphinde isetshenziswe kwezinye izinhlelo zokusebenza, njengokukhiqizwa kwephepha namakhadibhodi, kanye nezimboni zokwakha nezokupenda. I-MCC ngokuvamile ibhekwa njengephephile ukuthi isetshenziswe abantu futhi igunyazwe ama-ejensi alawulayo afana ne-FDA ne-EFSA.
