So, what is hpmc?
HPMC (hydroxypropyl methylcellulose) is a versatile food ingredient commonly used as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer in a wide range of food products. It is derived from cellulose and is soluble in both hot and cold water. HPMC can be used to create a variety of textures, from a thick and creamy consistency to a smooth and gel-like texture. It is also widely used in gluten-free baking as a binding agent. HPMC is a popular choice for food manufacturers because it is non-toxic, non-allergenic, and has no flavor or odor, making it an ideal ingredient for a variety of food applications.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
