A method of producing bleached microcrystalline cellulose which method comprises neutralizing or alkalizing an acidic microcrystalline production reaction mixture slurry, typically produced by acid hydrolysis or by electronic beam irradiation, followed by adding an oxidant to such reaction mixture. This practice of this method permits the production of microcrystalline cellulose having desirable color stability as well as compression characteristics suitable for pharmaceutical binder use from paper grade and other low purity pulps.

Method of making bleached microcrystalline cellulose

The subject matter of this invention is a composition and method of making a water-dispersible, stabilizing colloidal microcrystalline cellulose:carboxymethylcellulose composition. The method of making the composition does not require a salt solution as an anti-slip agent.

Stabilizer composition of microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, method for making, and uses

The present invention is directed to a co-attrited stabilizer composition comprising: a) microcrystalline cellulose in an amount of from 20%-90% by weight of the composition; b) a hydrocolloid in an amount of from 5%-50% by weight of the composition, wherein the hydrocolloid is selected from at least one member of the group consisting of carboxymethyl cellulose having a degree of substitution of at least 0.95, pectin, alginate, carrageenan, xanthan gum, agar gum, wellan gum, or gellan gum; and c) a starch in an amount of from 5%-50% by weight of the composition, wherein the stabilizer composition has a gel strength (G') of at least 25 Pa when measured after 24 hours in a 2.6% solids water dispersion at 20&#xb0; C. The composition is useful as a stabilizer, particularly in food and beverage products.

Co-attrited stabilizer composition having superior gel strength

The subject matter of this invention is a composition and method of making a water-dispersible, stabilizing colloidal microcrystalline cellulose:xarboxymethylcellulose composition. The method of making the composition does not require a salt solution as an anti-slip agent.

Methods of making a high gel strength, water-dispersible, stabilizing colloidal microcrystalline cellulose composition are disclosed. This stabilizer composition is useful in many food and non-food applications.

Stabilizer composition of co-attrited microcrystalline cellulose and carboxymethylcellulose, method for making, and uses

The present invention is directed to a co-attrited stabilizer composition comprising: (i) microcrystalline cellulose and (ii) carboxymethyl cellulose, wherein the carboxymethyl cellulose has a degree of substitution of from 0.95-1.5 and a viscosity of less than 100 cps. The composition is useful as a stabilizer, particularly, in food and pharmaceutical applications.
