Hinweis: Cellulose ist eigentlich eine unverdauliche Pflanzenfaser und Hauptbestandteil pflanzlicher Zellwände, die aus Ketten von mehreren hundert bis zehntausend Glucosemolekülen besteht. Allerdings ist die enthaltene Glucose für den Menschen nicht verwertbar und somit unverdaulich.
What is HPMC?
Characterized as off-white, HPMC is a cellulose polymer that has undergone chemical modification but is still considered to be safe for consumption by people. Full formulae written as Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a non-toxic, odorless, water-soluble polymer that is used in many industries for its hydrophilic properties. It is also used as a food additive in the US and cosmetics for its moisturizing and smoothing effects. It should be noted that Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose cannot be digested by the human digestive system and passes through the digestive tract as it is.
No specific data on the efficacy of HPMC in feedingstuffs were provided. HPMC is authorised for use as a food additive. The effect seen when used in food could reasonably be expected to be seen when ethyl cellulose is used as an additive in feed.
HPMC is a stabilizer, thickener, and emulsifier in the food and beverage industry. It enhances the texture and mouthfeel of various food products while improving their stability and shelf life.




2)The viscosity of Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose is influenced by its molecular weight, with higher molecular weight leading to higher viscosity. Temperature also affects its viscosity, with viscosity decreasing as temperature rises. However, the impact of temperature on viscosity is lower compared to Methyl Cellulose. Its solution is stable when stored at room temperature.
