Description
Description
High Viscosity Methylcellulose E461, or methyl cellulose is a thickener and emulsifier. Methylcellulose is a compound derived from cellulose. This white hydrophilic powder dissolves ONLY in cold liquid to form a clear viscous solution or gel. A solution of methylcellulose will turn solid when heated and since it is completely thermo-reversible will turn back to liquid when cooled. It is also used as a stabilizer in ice cream to help prevent the formation of ice crystals during freezing or re-freezing after a thaw. Like cellulose this component is non toxic, and not allergenic. Methylcellulose HV is High Viscosity (approximately 4500 cps. in 2% solution). Cold water soluble, Methylcellulose HV will gel when heated to temperatures from 132F to 148F. Our LV and HV methylcellulose can be mixed together at different ratios to achieve desired effects. This product is certified Kosher (Pareve) by the Orthodox Union

Frequently Asked Questions
- Q: What is methylcellulose and how is it used in cooking? A: Methylcellulose is a plant-derived thickener and emulsifier that dissolves only in cold liquids to form a clear, viscous solution or gel. In cooking, it is often used in molecular gastronomy and modernist cuisine to create unique textures and stabilize ingredients, such as preventing ice crystal formation in ice cream.
- Q: Is this methylcellulose product safe for consumption? A: Yes, our Pure Methylcellulose is 100% food grade and certified non-toxic and allergenic, making it safe for human consumption. It is important to choose food-grade methylcellulose to ensure it meets strict safety standards.
- Q: How does the gelling process work with methylcellulose? A: Methylcellulose forms a semi-firm gel when heated to temperatures between 132°F and 148°F (56°C to 64°C) and will revert to a liquid state upon cooling. This thermo-reversible property makes it an excellent ingredient for various culinary applications.
