Hydroxylpropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC)

HPMC is commonly used as a food water holding agent, and its reversible hot gel property can avoid various fillings (buns, dumplings, etc.), which shrink and "dry" due to excessive heating; The use of its hot gel properties to manufacture fried food (such as fried French fries), not only can reduce the oil content and fuel consumption of the product, save a lot of frying oil, and the product has a unique taste of crisp outside and soft inside; HPMC also has the function of increasing surface activity and stabilizing foam, which can increase the volume of baked products and form a good organizational structure in bread mixed with rice flour or soybean flour.
