Methylcellulose

What is Methylcellulose?

Methocel (methylcellulose) is purified cellulose, used in food applications where a thickener, stabilizer, or dispersant is required. It dissolves in cold water and gels in hot water, with the unique ability to form a gel when heated above 45ºC. This gel then returns to a liquid state upon cooling (approximately 15ºC). It’s perfect for creating hot gels that melt in the mouth. Methylcellulose can also be used to make clear, solid, and flexible films. These are produced by allowing a Methocel solution to dry out at a low temperature, preventing the solution from gelling. Other applications include emulsification and suspension.

How to Use Methylcellulose?

Methylcellulose is versatile and easy to use. For creating hot gels, dissolve it in cold water and heat the solution above 45ºC. The solution will form a gel that melts in the mouth when cooled. To create clear, solid, and flexible films, allow a Methocel solution to dry out at a low temperature. This prevents the solution from gelling. Methylcellulose can also be used as a thickener, stabilizer, or dispersant in various food applications.
