Ultra-fine microcrystalline cellulose compositions and process

摘要

Ultra-fine microcrystalline cellulose compositions are disclosed which produce highly stable suspensions and/or dispersions in which substantially all of the microcrystalline cellulose has a particle size not greater than about 0.7 mu m. The compositions include an attriting aid which has a dual functionality, assisting in reducing the size of the cellulose microcrystals and adding a desired property or ingredient to the dispersions or other product in which the compositions are utilized.
