VIVAPUR® MCC
Highly pure microcrystalline cellulose with an outstanding functionality made of plant-based sources.
JRS Food Ingredients offers the most complete range of defined standardized MCC for specific formulation needs. With decades of experience in manufacturing high quality MCC at multiple production sites on different continents, JRS is the right partner in the understanding and usage of MCC in food applications.
Cellulosic fibers are the main constituent of the natural plant cell wall. There the fibers form a network that gives the plant stability and strength to ensure that the plant retains its shape and is protected against mechanical stress. With the VIVAPUR® Microcrystalline Cellulose portfolio, JRS transfers these natural properties of the most abundant organic molecule into food applications and concepts in the pharmaceutical industry. In this process, the crystalline components of the cellulose are specifically isolated, achieving a dietary fiber content of over 95%.

Applications of VIVAPUR® MCC
Besides its broad use in pharmaceutical applications, the MCC approval as food additive in the European Union happened already in 1975. MCC is a worldwide-accepted ingredient specified in Codex Alimentarius, Food Chemical Codex, and European Union. As ingredient with a “quantum satis” status, the EU food law allows the MCC application in diverse food categories based on functional classes.
VIVAPUR® MCC is an odorless, tasteless white powder with a high degree of brightness. Due to its practically inert chemical behavior and high physical resilience, MCC is characterized by high stability against shear, heat, and freeze-thaw cycles.
VIVAPUR® MCC provides as multifunctional ingredient in numerous applications compactability, flowability, moisture control, anti-caking, opacity or rheological adjustment.
