Abstract
A compound comprises microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) in colloidal form and two different qualities of carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), wherein the MCC and the two different qualities of CMC are combined by co-processing, wherein the two different qualities of CMC have different degrees of substitution (DS), wherein a low-substituted CMC is present with a DS of 0.6 to 0.9 and a high-substituted CMC is present with a DS of 1.10 to 1.45, wherein a percentage of CMC in the compound is between 5% and 18% by weight relating to a dry matter, and wherein the co-processing is done by homogenization.
