Definitions

  • the present specification is directed to a process for producing microcrystalline cellulose having a reduced content of nitrite salts.
  • Microcrystalline cellulose commonly referred to as “MCC”
  • MCC Microcrystalline cellulose
  • Applications of MCC include, for example, as a binder or stabilizer in beverages, as a binder or disintegrant in pharmaceutical tablets, as a suspending agent in liquid pharmaceutical formulations, as a binder, disintegrant or processing aid in industrial applications, in household products such as detergents or bleaches, in agricultural formulations, or in personal care products such as dentifrices or cosmetics.
  • Microcrystalline cellulose is typically produced by hydrolyzing cellulosic materials, obtained from fibrous plant materials, preferably with a high alpha content, with mineral acids, preferably hydrochloric acid (acidic hydrolysis).
  • the mineral acid preferentially attacks the amorphous regions of the cellulosic material, thereby exposing, freeing and leaving behind the paracrystalline regions, which form crystalline aggregates constituting microcrystalline cellulose.
  • the aggregated crystalline mass is then separated from the reaction mixture and washed to remove degraded by-products.
  • the resulting wet mass typically contains 40% to 60% moisture and is generally referred to by people skilled in the art as ‘hydrolyzed cellulose wet cake’ or ‘microcrystalline cellulose/MCC wet cake’.
  • One aspect of the present invention is a process for reducing the content of nitrite salts in microcrystalline cellulose which comprises the step of subjecting microcrystalline cellulose to a heat treatment.
  • Another aspect of the present invention is a process for producing microcrystalline cellulose which comprises the steps of i) acidic hydrolysis of cellulosic material to produce crude microcrystalline cellulose (MCC); ii) washing and at least partially neutralizing the crude MCC obtained in step i) to obtain an MCC wet cake; and iii) spray-drying the MCC wet cake, wherein after step ii) or step iii) or both of steps ii) and iii) MCC is subjected to a heat treatment.
  • MCC microcrystalline cellulose
  • MCC is subjected to heat treatment in the process of the present invention when the MCC is in its powder form.
  • MCC When MCC is in its powder form, it generally has a moisture content of up to 30%, up to 20%, up to 10%, or up to 5%, based on the weight of dry MCC.
  • the moisture content generally is 0% or more, typically 1 % or more, and more typically 2% or more, based on the weight of dry MCC. In the most preferred embodiment of the invention the moisture content is 3% or more, based on the weight of dry MCC.
  • an MCC wet cake can be subjected to heat treatment.
  • An MCC wet cake typically contains 30% to 90%, more typically 40% to 80% moisture, based on the weight of moist MCC.

  • the moisture content of the MCC before heat treatment is from 3 to 30%, more preferably from 5 to 30%, and most preferably from 9 to 25 %, based on the weight of dry MCC
  • the nitrite salts in MCC can be reduced in the heat treatment in a shorter time period and to a lower concentration than when the moisture content is below 3%, based on the weight of dry MCC.
  • the moisture content typically is the water content in the MCC.
  • the temperature of the heat treatment depends on the duration of the heat treatment. The shorter the duration of the heat treatment is, the higher is generally the applied temperature, and vice versa.
  • MCC is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of at least 35°C.
  • the maximum temperature of the heat treatment is not very critical, except that it should not cause significant degradation of the MCC.
  • the heat treatment is conducted at a temperature of up to 400°C, typically at a temperature of up to 350°C. In some embodiments, the heat treatment is conducted in the absence of a chemical adjuvant.
  • the duration of the heat treatment depends on the temperature during the heat treatment. The higher the temperature generally is, the shorter is generally the duration of the heat treatment and vice versa.
  • the MCC is subjected to heat treatment for at least 1 minute, typically for at least s minutes. In some embodiments, the MCC is subjected to heat treatment for at least 30 minutes.
  • the MCC is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of from 35 to 50°C (or from 40 to 45°C) for a time period of from 2 weeks to 12 months, from 1 to 10 months, or from 2 to 8 months.
  • the MCC is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of from 50 to 150°C, from 60 to 120°C, or from 70 to 100°C for a time period of from 1 to 300 hours, from 1 to 200 hours, or from 2 to 100 hours.
  • the MCC is subjected to heat treatment at a temperature of from 150 to 350°C (or from 200 to 300°C) for a time period of from 1 minute to 1 hour (or from 5 to 30 minutes).
  • Typical nitrite salts that are reduced by the process of the present invention are ammonium and/or alkali metal nitrite salts, such as ammonium nitrite and/or sodium nitrite, preferably ammonium nitrite.
  • the content of nitrite salts in MCC is typically reduced by at least 50% by the heat treatment, based on the weight of the nitrite salts in MCC prior to the heat treatment.
  • the content of nitrite salts in MCC is reduced by at least 80%, at least 90%, or at least 95%.
  • microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) from any source may be used in the process of the present invention.
  • suitable sources of MCC include, for example, wood pulp (such as bleached sulfite and sulfate pulps), straw, cotton, flax, cotton linters, hemp, ramie, corn husks, bagasse, seaweed cellulose and fermented cellulose.
  • Other sources include bleached softwood Kraft pulps, bleached hardwood Kraft pulps, bleached Eucalyptus Kraft pulps, paper pulps, fluff pulps, dissolving pulps, and bleached non-wood cellulosic pulps.
  • the MCC used is one approved for human consumption by the United States Food and Drug Administration.
  • low-cost pulp or mixtures of low-cost pulp and specialty pulp may be used as sources of MCC. If so, then, for example, about 30-80% of the total MCC can be made up of low-cost pulp. In some embodiments, the colloidal content of the resulting MCC product is at least 60%.
  • low-cost pulp include paper grade pulps, fluff pulp such as Southern Bleached Softwood Kraft Pulp, Northern Bleached Softwood pulp, Bleached Eucalyptus Kraft pulp, Bleached Sulfite pulps, Bleached Hardwood Kraft pulp, Bleached Soda Pulps, and bleached non-wood pulps.
  • the process for producing MCC comprises a step i) wherein cellulosic material is subjected to acidic hydrolysis to produce crude MCC.
  • the term “acidic hydrolysis” as used herein does not imply limitation to a complete hydrolysis but encompasses partial hydrolysis that is generally applied in known processes for producing MCC.
  • Crude MCC is typically produced by partially hydrolyzing the above-described cellulosic source material with an acid (in some embodiments with a mineral acid, or in some embodiments with hydrochloric acid (acidic hydrolysis)).
  • Processes for producing microcrystalline cellulose by acidic hydrolysis are disclosed in U.S Patent Nos. 2,978,446; 3,023,104; and 3,146,168.
  • the mineral acid preferentially attacks the amorphous regions of the cellulosic source material, thereby exposing, freeing and leaving behind the paracrystalline regions, which form crystalline aggregates constituting microcrystalline cellulose.
  • the level-off values which can be obtained by means of partial hydrolysis depend mainly on the choice of the above-mentioned raw materials.

  • MCC can be made more suitable to the optional attrition described further below by chemical or mechanical treatments.
  • the MCC can be treated with carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), peroxide, per-acetic acid, persulfate, performic acid, or ozone at acidic pH.
  • CMC carboxymethyl cellulose
  • Other additives such as iron salts, may be added to enhance the hydrolysis of MCC.
  • Enhanced hydrolysis may also be achieved through extended cooking of MCC or by changing reaction conditions such as temperature of cooking, acid concentration, etc.
  • the process for producing MCC further comprises a step ii) wherein after partial hydrolysis the aggregated crystalline mass, i.e., the crude MCC, is washed and at least partially neutralized with an aqueous liquid to remove degraded by-products and to at least partially neutralize excess acid that has been used in the acidic hydrolysis.
  • the washing step involves filtration, followed by dilution to produce an MCC wet cake that is suitable for spraydrying.
  • the neutralizing agent can be added to the washing liquor. In some embodiments, it is added to the liquor used for dilution. Examples of neutralizing agents are, e.g., ammonium bicarbonate or ammonium carbonate. In some embodiments, the neutralizing agent comprises ammonia or ammonium hydroxide.
  • the washing liquors are water, brine, or organic solvents in admixture with water, such as aqueous mixtures of isopropanol, ethanol or methanol. In some embodiments, the washing liquors are water or brine.
  • the resulting wet mass typically contains 30% to 80%, more typically 40% to 70% moisture, based on the total weight of moist MCC.
  • MCC is modified for certain uses in food, pharmaceutical or cosmetic applications, such as use as a gelling agent, thickener, fat substitute, non-caloric filler, as suspension agent, texturizer or stabilizer in emulsions. In some embodiments, the MCC is modified for such uses by subjecting hydrolyzed wet MCC to high shear mixing called ‘attrition’.
  • the process of attrition typically subdivides microcrystalline crystallites into fine particles (in some embodiments, in the colloidal range). Colloidal microcrystalline celluloses such as those modified with CMC are described in U.S. Patent No. 3,539,365.
  • the optionally attrited MCC is subsequently diluted before spray-drying.
  • the diluting agent is water, which, in some embodiments comprises an above-described neutralizing agent.
