Methylcellulose (MC) is a non-ionic cellulose ether widely used in various industries, particularly in food applications. As a leading manufacturer, SHANDONG LANDU NEW MATERIAL CO., LTD specializes in producing high-quality food-grade methylcellulose, ensuring it meets stringent international standards.
Methylcellulose (MC), also known as cellulose methyl ether, is derived from cellulose through a chemical process involving alkali and chloromethane. The resulting white powder is odorless, tasteless, and non-toxic, making it a safe and effective food additive. The degree of methyl substitution influences its solubility and viscosity.
As a thickening agent, MC absorbs water and forms a gel-like structure, enhancing the texture of sauces, gravies, salad dressings, and baked goods. This provides a consistent and creamy mouthfeel.
Methylcellulose acts as an emulsifier, facilitating the mixing of immiscible liquids like oil and water. This is crucial in products such as salad dressings and sauces, ensuring a homogenous and stable mixture.
In frozen desserts like ice cream, Methylcellulose prevents the formation of ice crystals, maintaining a smooth and consistent texture, thereby improving product quality.
MC effectively replaces fat in reduced-fat or fat-free food items, such as yogurt, cream cheese, and sour cream, improving texture and mouthfeel.
MC mimics gluten’s structure and elasticity, making it essential for gluten-free breads, cakes, and pastries.
LANDU MC Methylcellulose acts as a binding agent in plant-based meat alternatives, creating a firm bite and juicy texture that resembles real meat, supporting the growing demand for sustainable food options.
Our methylcellulose substitutes for gluten, providing viscoelasticity to the dough, maintaining product volume, and ensuring a delicate texture, making gluten-free options more appealing.
SHANDONG LANDU MC Methylcellulose's thermal gelling properties prevent filling leakage during heating while maintaining a pleasant texture, enhancing the appearance and taste of baked goods.
