Food Grade High-Substitute Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (H-HPC)

High-Substitution Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (H-HPC), a vital ingredient in the food and beverage industry, acts as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener in a wide array of products. LANDU is a leading manufacturer of high-quality, food-grade H-HPC, ensuring consistent performance and safety for your applications.

Production of Highly Substituted Hydroxypropyl Cellulose Ether at Shandong Landu

At LANDU, we utilize the advanced “one-step slurry method” to produce our high-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose ether (containing 50-80% hydroxypropoxy). This efficient process involves carefully controlled phases of alkalization, etherification, and neutralization. Our commitment to innovation and stringent quality control ensures that every batch of H-HPC meets the highest standards.
As a leading China-based company specializing in research, development, and production of new materials, our technical expertise ensures consistent quality in every batch of H-HPC we produce.

Characteristics of Shandong Landu's H-HPC: Odorless, Tasteless, White Powder

Our Food-Grade High-Substitute Hydroxypropyl Cellulose appears as a white powder, completely odorless and tasteless, ensuring it does not interfere with the intended flavor profile of your food products.

It exhibits excellent solubility in water and various organic solvents, including ethanol and acetone, at ambient temperature, resulting in transparent solutions. This ease of use makes it a versatile ingredient for a wide range of applications.

Functional Properties and Applications of Food-Grade H-HPC

H-HPC’s primary function is to thicken and stabilize food products. Its unique properties significantly enhance the texture and thickness of various culinary creations. Its ability to create stable gels and emulsions makes it exceptionally useful in:
In these applications, H-HPC helps maintain a uniform consistency and prevents unwanted separation. Furthermore, it elevates the sensory experience, particularly the “mouthfeel,” of reduced-fat recipes, delivering a creamy sensation without the need for additional fats. This makes it a valuable ingredient for manufacturers seeking to create healthier and more appealing food options.

Superior Film-Forming Attributes for Innovative Applications

H-HPC demonstrates excellent thermoplastic properties, leading to exceptional film formation. These films exhibit toughness, glossiness, and a high degree of elasticity, opening doors to innovative applications in food coatings and edible films. This characteristic is particularly valuable in creating protective layers for food products, enhancing their shelf life and visual appeal.

Minimal Ash Content and Excellent Adhesive Qualities

Due to its very low ash content, our H-HPC exhibits excellent adhesive qualities. It demonstrates significant stability when utilized as a thickening agent in emulsions and shows good dispersibility, ensuring consistent performance in your formulations. This low ash content also contributes to the purity and overall quality of the final product.

Potent Antibacterial Qualities for Enhanced Food Safety

The substituent groups present in H-HPC are uniformly and fully distributed, imparting robust antibacterial characteristics. This even distribution also presents a reduced equilibrium moisture level, further contributing to the stability and shelf life of the final product. This antibacterial property is a significant advantage in ensuring food safety and preventing spoilage.
