Methyl Cellulose (MC) E461 Methocel is commonly acts as a general emulsifier,stabilizer and thickener in food and cosmetic applications, Methyl Cellulose is also used as chemical additives in construction, and it also be widely used in pharmaceutical application to treat dry eyes as artifical tears and Constipation as Laxative
What is Methyl Cellulose features for food grade?
Methyl Cellulose powder could be widely used in many different food applications such as plant -based meat process, bakery, drinks, sweet, Pastry filling,Concentrated flavor,Molding extrusion food,Edible film and etc
- Emulsifier: Methyl Cellulose MC powder has a excellent water solubility and viscosity properties, it can form a stable gel network in food, then it could increase the viscosity of the food very well.
- Stabilizer: Methyl Cellulose MC powder has very good stability and heat resistance, which can effectively enhance the stability of food.
- Thickener: Methyl Cellulose Methocel has a perfect emulsifying properties. It can prevent oil-water separation in food, thus making the food more delicate.
