Methylcellulose

Methylcellulose is a type of cellulose, a natural fiber found in plants, that has been modified to dissolve in water. It’s commonly used as a thickening, stabilizing, and emulsifying agent in foods like gluten-free baked goods, as well as in pharmaceuticals and personal care products. When mixed with water, methylcellulose forms a gel-like substance that helps improve texture and consistency. It is non-toxic, inert, and does not cause allergic reactions, making it safe for various industrial and consumer applications.
