-
Gluten-free products: acts as a gluten substitute by improving texture, especially in gluten-free breads and baked goods.
-
Film-forming and emulsifying agent: used to coat and retain moisture in foods, useful for crispy snacks and products that require good stability.
-
Pharmaceuticals: in the manufacture of tablets and capsules, it serves as an excipient to impart structure, improve disintegration, and increase the solubility of active ingredients.
-
Personal care products: used in hair gels, lotions, and toothpastes, where it provides viscosity and stability of formulations.

BAKERY PRODUCTS: In baked goods, methyl cellulose plays an important role as a texture and softness improver. It helps maintain moisture in doughs, preventing products from becoming too dry or crumbly, and also helps improve the texture of products without altering their flavor.
FILLINGS AND FILLINGS: Methyl cellulose is used to improve the texture and cohesion of doughs, making fillings more stable and homogeneous. Its ability to bind moisture helps maintain the softness and freshness of fillings, preventing them from drying out during cooking. It also improves the texture of flours without altering their taste, making products lighter and easier to work with.
FRYED FOODS: Methyl cellulose is used to improve the crispness and tightness of breadcrumbs. Its ability to absorb water and oil helps achieve a crispier and less oily crust, reducing fat absorption during frying. It also allows for a lighter and more uniform texture in fried products, improving the sensory quality of the final product.
DRINKS: Methyl cellulose is used to give body and viscosity to the product without adding calories. It is useful for achieving a thicker consistency and pleasant texture, maintaining the freshness of beverages and contributing to their nutritional balance, especially in light products.
BURROW-BASED FOODS AND SPALMABLE CREAMS: Provides stability and consistency.
