methylcellulose
  • 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.
  • Bulk sizes available on request.
