So, what is idrossipropilmetilcellulosa?

Idrossipropilmetilcellulosa, commonly known as HPMC, is a versatile food ingredient that serves as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabilizer. It is derived from cellulose, which is a natural polymer found in plant cell walls. HPMC is widely used in the food industry to improve the texture, consistency, and stability of various products, including dairy products, baked goods, and sauces. It is also used as a vegan alternative to gelatin in vegetarian and vegan products. HPMC has a neutral taste, odorless, and has excellent water-binding properties, making it an ideal ingredient for food applications.
