A method coprocessing microcrystalline cellulose with maltodextrin to produce a dispersion that can be spray dried at high solids content to produce a flowing powder is disclosed. The coprocessed microcrystalline cellulose/maltodextrin composition can be blended with carboxymethyl cellulose to produce a dry blend that can be used in food and cosmetic applications.

Texture and stabilizer composition

Ultra-fine microcrystalline cellulose compositions are disclosed which produce highly stable suspensions and/or dispersions in which substantially all of the microcrystalline cellulose has a particle size not greater than about 0.7 .mu.m. The compositions include an attriting aid which has a dual functionality, assisting in reducing the size of the cellulose microcrystals and adding a desired property or ingredient to the dispersions or other product in which the compositions are utilized.
