The food industry constantly innovates to meet consumer demands for better texture, stability, and healthier options. Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose (HPMC) is a valuable food additive that plays a crucial role in achieving these goals. As a leading supplier of food-grade HPMC from China, we provide high-quality ingredients that enhance a wide range of food products.

HPMC: A Versatile Food Ingredient

HPMC, also known by its E-number E464, is a plant-derived cellulose ether offering multiple functionalities in food applications:

  • Thickener: HPMC effectively increases the viscosity of liquid food products like sauces, gravies, and dressings, providing a desirable texture and mouthfeel.
  • Stabilizer: It stabilizes emulsions and suspensions, preventing ingredients from separating in products such as ice cream, dairy alternatives, and processed foods. This ensures product consistency and extends shelf life.
  • Emulsifier: HPMC helps to create and maintain stable emulsions, crucial for products like mayonnaise and salad dressings.
  • Film-Former: HPMC can form a protective film, which is beneficial for coating confectionery products, baked goods, and for moisture retention in gluten-free products.
  • Vegetarian Alternative to Gelatin: For manufacturers catering to vegetarian, vegan, or kosher/halal dietary needs, HPMC offers an excellent plant-based alternative to animal-derived gelatin.

Key Food Applications of HPMC:

Our food-grade HPMC is widely used in:

  • Bakery: Improving texture, volume, and stability in gluten-free breads, cakes, and pastries.
  • Dairy and Desserts: Enhancing creaminess and preventing ice crystal formation in ice cream and frozen desserts.
