Usage : Microcrystalline Cellulose (MCC) does not have a single, fixed molecular weight because it is a polymeric material made of many glucose units with varying chain lengths. It is therefore characterized by its degree of polymerization (DP) rather than a defined molecular weight. Chemical formula (repeating unit): (C H O ) Molecular weight of one anhydroglucose repeating unit: 162.14 g/mol Typical degree of polymerization (DP): ~150 300 (depending on the grade and manufacturer) Therefore, the approximate average molecular weight is: DP 150: 162.14 150 24,300 g/mol DP 300: 162.14 300 48,600 g/mol So, the typical average molecular weight of microcrystalline cellulose is approximately 24,000 49,000 g/mol, although it is usually reported as "not applicable" or "variable" in pharmacopeias because MCC is a mixture of cellulose chains rather than a single compound.
