PREPARATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MICROCRYSTALLINE CELLULOSE (MCC) [PDF]
BioResources, 2009 Cotton linters were hydrolyzed with different concentrations of HCl (2.5-15%) to prepare microcrystalline cellulose. Infrared spectroscopy and thermal analysis were used to follow the effect of hydrolysis on the molecular structure of the produced ...

Characteristics of Microcrystalline Cellulose from Coir Fibers [PDF]
Journal of Natural Fibers, 2022 This work aimed to extract and characterize microcrystalline cellulose from coir fibers. Extraction was achieved in a two-step process in which the coir fibers were treated with sodium hydroxide for 3 h at 100°C followed by bleaching with peracetic acid ...

Physicochemical characterization of banana pseudostem, peduncle, and leaf-derived microcrystalline cellulose as directly compressible excipients [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWood is the most common source of cellulose, but overexploitation and deforestation have led to a need for alternative sources. Banana plant biomass provides a sustainable alternative to wood-based cellulose.
