Applications
FOOD SYSTEMS
Application
Type of Avicel MCC
Functions and Benefits
Bar Mixes
Colloidal
-Adds creaminess and pulpiness; stabilizes emulsion; suspends solids; adds opacity
Batters & Breadings
Colloidal
- Improves cling; reduces drying time; reduces fat absorption during frying; reduces sogginess if finished product stored under heat lamps
Chocolate Drinks
Colloidal
- Adds creaminess; suspends solids; stable under high temperature processing; adds opacity
Confections
Powdered
- Controls moisture absorption; non-nutritive bulk filler
Dressings
Colloidal
- Enhances the mouthfeel characteristics; mimics the mouthfeel of oil; stabilizes emulsions; suspends solids; improves cling; opacifier
Fillings
Colloidal
- Prevents boil-out; improves texture and flavor release
Food Service
Colloidal
- Stabilizes microwave sauces; reduces skinning on sauces held on steam table; helps keep fried foods crisp under heat lamps; reduces fat pick up during frying
High Fiber Drinks
Powdered or Colloidal
- Increases dietary fiber; adds body and creaminess; suspends solids
Icings
Colloidal
- Controls flow and moisture migration; imparts stability; increases creaminess
Lowfat Sour Cream
Colloidal
- Imparts full-fat mouthfeel; stabilizes the system
Puffed Snacks
Powdered
- Aids in extrusion process; increases uniformity; promotes finer air cell structure
Sauces
Colloidal
- Shear stability allows pumping without viscosity loss; stabilizes emulsions; improves cling; adds body and creaminess; prevents boil-out; adds opacity
Whipped Toppings
Colloidal
- Foam stabilizer
NON-FOOD SYSTEMS
Application
Type of Avicel MCC
Functions and Benefits
Tablets/Granules
Cross-linked or Colloidal
- Accelerates disintegration and dispersion; excellent binder for tablets, granules or any compacted material; superior stability; consistent and reproducible flow rate; good water uptake
