The microcrystalline cellulose is a partially depolymerised purified cellulose. It is produced by the acid treatment of alpha cellulose extracted solely from non-resinous wood of guaranteed non-GM origin.
The average size of the fibres is around 36 kDa.
Microcrystalline Cellulose can be used for two purposes :
- Correction of the turbidity level of an over-racked must
- Detoxification of the medium through a capacity to significantly improve the emission of carbon dioxide during alcoholic fermentation and so improve the quality of yeast fermentation.
