SAMICEL® E460(ii)
Powdered Cellulose
Pure food-grade powdered cellulose, serving as an exceptional anti-caking agent, carrier, dispersant, and natural texturizer across a broad spectrum of food industry formulations.
Food-Grade Powdered Cellulose E460(ii)
SAMICEL® Powdered Cellulose E460(ii) is a high-purity, Food-Grade additive derived from mechanically processed, purified plant cellulose.
Supplied as a uniform, odorless white powder, this natural compound plays a key role in improving the texture and stability of food products thanks to its distinct fibrous structure, remarkable water absorption capacity, and unique physical behavior.
E460(ii) powdered cellulose is widely utilized as an effective anti-caking agent, a uniform carrier for essential oils and flavors, and a versatile texturizer in grated cheeses, spices, confectionery, and various powdered foods.
