Methylcellulose is a food additive that is prepared synthetically by the methylation of natural cellulose and commonly used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. Here are some culinary usages for methylcellulose:
Vegan and vegetarian recipes: Methylcellulose is often used in vegan and vegetarian recipes as a substitute for gelatin. It can be used to create gels, mousses, and other jellied desserts.
Gluten-free baking: Methylcellulose can be used in gluten-free baking to improve the texture and structure of baked goods such as bread, cakes, and cookies.
Meat alternatives: Methylcellulose is often used in the production of meat alternatives such as veggie burgers and sausages. It can be used to create a meat-like texture and mouthfeel.
Foam and froth: Methylcellulose can be used to create stable and long-lasting foams and froths for cocktails, desserts, and other dishes.
Sous-vide cooking: Methylcellulose can be used in sous-vide cooking to create stable and consistent textures for foods such as eggs, meats, and vegetables.
This product gels when hot (136-147F), which prevents bake-out of pastry fillings and enables the creation of gel noodles and "hot" ice cream.
Typical usage: 0.05% to 1% by weight.
Cold water soluble.
