Brief overviewMicrocrystalline cellulose (MCC) remains a cornerstone excipient for direct compression and tableting. This practical checklist is written for CMOs, formulation scientists and QA leads preparing MCC from lab benches through pilot runs to commercial tablet production. It consolidates…

Microcrystalline cellulose (INCI: Microcrystalline Cellulose; CAS 9004-34-6) is a white, inert particulate cellulose widely used across cosmetic formats as an absorbent/anticaking agent, bulking filler, particulate rheology modifier, opacifier and — for coarse grades — a gentle abrasive. This…

Overview — practical, measurable decarbonisation for functional fibersShine Health has developed a pragmatic roadmap to cut life‑cycle greenhouse gas intensity (kg CO2e/kg), energy (MJ/kg) and freshwater use for two strategic product lines: microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) and resistant dextrin.…

Organic resistant tapioca dextrin is a neutral‑flavored, soluble tapioca fiber that functions as a prebiotic, a clean‑label binder and a sugar‑impact reducer. It is well suited for organic and private‑label snack brands, bakery applications and ready‑to‑drink formulations that need a fiber boost…

Resistant dextrin (RD), also sold as soluble corn fiber, is a water‑soluble dietary fiber that can meaningfully influence moisture retention and starch retrogradation in bakery matrices. Properly validating RD as a shelf‑life or freshness aid requires a reproducible R&D workflow that ties…

This concise technical roadmap explains how to select film‑coating excipients, structure lab→pilot staging and scale safely to commercial while preserving drying kinetics and tablet quality. The guidance focuses on practical excipient choices (polymers, plasticizers, pigments, detackifiers), a…

IntroductionShine Health’s resistant dextrin (RD) — derived from Non‑GMO corn starch, fiber ≥82%, protein ≤6% — and its complementary soluble corn fiber (SCF) are water‑soluble, heat‑stable functional fibers that act as low‑calorie bulking and binder agents. When used together they allow…

OverviewMicrocrystalline cellulose (MCC, CAS 9004‑34‑6) is a purified, partially depolymerized cellulose widely used as a binder, filler/diluent, disintegrant and anti‑caking agent across pharmaceuticals, food, cosmetics and industrial formulations. Its combination of compressibility, porosity and…
