Application of cellulose ether in food

As long as an appropriate amount of food grade cellulose ether HPMC is added to the fried food, the oil intake in the frying process can be greatly reduced, the total oil content of the fried food can be reduced, and the taste of the fried product can be improved, the oil change cycle of the fried food can be prolonged, the yield of the fried product can be increased and the cost of the oil can be reduced.

Fried food is widely loved by the public because of its unique taste. However, in today’s increasingly healthy diet, high fat fried food also makes consumers wary.

Of course, in the specific application of each cellulose ether food additives can only achieve one function, for example, food-grade methylcellulose (MC) and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) can effectively reduce the oil content of fried food; Food-grade carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), used in dairy products, can enhance the taste and improve the stability of protein, used in the baking process, can effectively control the water content of dough; Food grade hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC) can effectively reduce the amount of natural cream in the formula, while maintaining smooth and delicate taste, and realize the concept of healthier food consumption.

Cellulose ether derivatives have been widely used in food industry for a long time. Physical modification of cellulose can regulate the rheological properties, hydration and microstructure properties of the system. The five important functions of chemically modified cellulose in food are rheology, emulsification, foam stability, the ability to control ice crystal formation and growth, and water binding.

Help more than 20 global artificial meat technology to do technical support. Us stock market listings are mainly aimed at American and European tastes. The idea is basically to standard plant capsule, the team docking each other. In the first quarter of last year, they made a fake version of artificial meat. We are trying to change from vector production in the laboratory. At present, overseas artificial meat is 140-150,000 yuan/ton, but the cost is relatively low. The company will make money on cellulosic ether first, and worry about the money on artificial meat later. The most difficult part of artificial meat is cellulose, and for DuPont cellulose ether is the sticking point. The company sells 70,000 to 80,000 tons, also has 60% gross margin. The latest and most advanced equipment, Dow’s and Shin-etsu’s equipment are 20 or 20 years old, purchased from an equipment supplier in Germany. The core formula of artificial meat is important.
