Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose for Food Application
*Has excellent enzyme resistance and emulsion stability.
*Reduce the amount of oil and enhance the taste, appearance, texture, moisture and gas content of food lost due to the reduction of oil content.
*Has excellent processability and thickening performance.
*Can effectively control the moisture content of food from freezing to normal temperature, and reduce the damage, ice crystal and texture deterioration of food caused by cold storage.
Food grade HPMC , also abbreviated as hypromellose , is a kind of non-ionic cellulose ether. It is a semi-synthetic, inactive, viscoelastic polymer, often used in ophthalmology as a lubrication department, or as an ingredient or excipient in food additives, and is commonly found in various types of commodities. As a food additive, hypromellose HPMC can play the following roles: emulsifier, thickener, suspending agent and substitute for animal gelatin.
