Metolose ®<br />
Cellulosederivate<br />
<strong>MC</strong> / HP<strong>MC</strong><br />
Methylcellulose / Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose<br />
� Is soluble in cold water and forms transparent solutions.<br />
� Forms reversible gels during heating processes – due to these<br />
visco-elastic properties this material is suitable for keeping the<br />
shape during heating.<br />
� Achieves a very good miscibility with salts and sugars.<br />
� Has excellent water binding properties.<br />
� Has a buffer capacity in a wide range of pH-values (pH 3-11).<br />
� Is suitable for emulsification and stabilization of dispersions.<br />

Fields of Application<br />
Fried and crumbed products Reduction of fat absorption, improvement of the adhesive properties<br />
Gluten free products Substitution of the wheat gluten, high volume, extended stability<br />
Coatings Protection against external influences (oxidation, abrasion), improvement<br />
of the appearance, free flowing powders and granulates<br />
Bakery products longer freshness and sappiness, improved texture, higher volume<br />
Dietetic products Reduction of the fat and egg content<br />
Ice-cream Reduction of the ice crystal growth<br />
Formed products Water retention and texture improvement, keeps the shape during<br />
heating processes<br />
Mayonnaise and dressings Thickening, stabilization and reduction of the fat and egg content<br />
Sauces Optimization and control of the viscosity<br />
Deep-frozen products Reduction of the growth of ice crystals during freezing and thawing<br />
Creams and foames based on vegetable oils Stabilization of the whipped product, higher volume<br />
