ABSTRACT:
A method for producing microcrystalline cellulose by the steps of subjecting a cellulose source material to steam explosion treatment, extracting the steam treated cellulosic material to remove hemicellulose and lignin, and recovering microcrystalline cellulose that is substantially colloidal in particle size and essentially free of fibrous cellulose.
