Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose product is a non-ionic cellulose ether made through a series of chemical processes, with the natural polymer cellulose as the raw material. The product is a non-ionic cellulose ether in the shape of white powder, odorless and tasteless. In cold water, it swells into a clear or slightly turbid colloidal solution. It has thickening, adhesion, dispersion, emulsification, film-formation, suspension, gelation, surface activity, water retention, providing protective colloids and other properties. Hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose (HPMC) can be used in building materials, synthetic resin, ceramic industry, medicine, food, textile, agriculture, daily chemicals and other industries. Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose products have different proportions of Methoxy and Hydroxypropyl, thus affecting the thermal gelation temperature of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose, and other property items. In processed foods, Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose has many excellent properties. According to the thermal gelation, film-forming, thickening and other properties it can be applied to different foods so as to enhance the taste of food. The formulation of bread contains 1% of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, and gelation occurs in contact with hot oil. In this way, a protective layer can be formed at the edge of the frying food, greatly reducing the absorption of fat. http://celluloseether.com/sidleycel-hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose/
