The main objective is to utilize sugar beet pulp residues from sugar industry to produce microcrystalline cellulose (MCC) after pectin extraction for use in food and pharmaceutical industries. The produced MCC was comprehensively characterized regarding its purity, chemical composition, bulk and tapping densities, and mechanical properties of tablets. The following chemical and spectroscopic analyses tools were used to proof the successful isolation and production of MCC: particle size analysis by laser, X-ray diffraction (XRD), determination degree of polymerization, and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Sugar beet MCC was successfully tested in pharmaceutical tablets containing keto-profen drug and compared to commercially available MCC. Applications in different food products (dairy, meat, bakery.) and pharmaceutical tablets.
