Description
Description
High Viscosity Methylcellulose E461, also known as methyl cellulose, is a versatile thickener and emulsifier derived from cellulose. This premium-grade, 100% Food Grade Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is specifically designed for culinary applications, ensuring safety and quality for consumption. Unlike cheap industrial-grade products that may pose health risks, our methylcellulose is certified Kosher (Pareve) by the Orthodox Union, adhering to the highest standards of purity and safety.
This white hydrophilic powder is unique as it dissolves ONLY in cold liquids, creating a clear, viscous solution or gel. When heated, a solution of methylcellulose transforms into a solid state, exhibiting its thermo-reversible nature by reverting to liquid upon cooling. This remarkable property makes it ideal for various cooking techniques, particularly in Molecular Gastronomy and Modernist Cooking applications.
Key Features:
- Forms a semi-firm gel at temperatures ranging from 132°F to 148°F (56°C to 64°C).
- Medium viscosity of approximately 4500 cPs in a 2% solution, providing excellent textural control.
- Aids in stabilizing ice cream, effectively preventing the formation of ice crystals during freezing or re-freezing.
- Non-toxic and non-allergenic, making it suitable for a variety of dietary needs.
- Can be mixed with Low Viscosity methylcellulose to achieve specific culinary effects.
This high-quality methylcellulose is not just a thickener; it is a crucial ingredient for innovative cooking techniques. Its ability to gel upon heating and revert back upon cooling opens a world of possibilities for chefs and home cooks alike. Whether you are looking to enhance the texture of sauces, create foams, or stabilize emulsions, High Viscosity Methylcellulose E461 is your go-to ingredient.
With its clean label and plant-derived composition, this product is perfect for health-conscious consumers and culinary enthusiasts. Modernist Pantry ensures that each package meets rigorous quality standards, guaranteeing you receive the best for your cooking and baking needs.
