Hydroxypropyl methylcellulose is a powdered substance that can be used in multiple industries. HPMC acts as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in the preparation of frozen fruits, ketchup, sauces, toppings, and a variety of bakery products. The increasing demand for low-fat products on the account of the rising health-consciousness of consumers is one of the key factors driving the demand for HPMC.
HPMC is also used in the manufacturing of various cosmetic products such as ointments, pastes, creams, and lotions due to its ability to act as a bioadhesive, excipient, and dispersing agent. In addition, HPMC finds a major application in ophthalmology, where it is utilized as a lubricant and helps reduce eye irritation. On the industrial side, it is used in inks, printing and dyeing of textiles, and papermaking.
HPMC is an alkali cellulose derivative procured by treating wood pulp or cotton liner with propylene oxide, methyl chloride, and caustic soda. It is derived from wood cellulose by partial etherification with hydroxypropyl groups. HPMC is gaining popularity in foods as an alternative to gelatin or gluten as it is functionally similar to them. It is not digestible and so contains no calories. They are also widely used in pharmaceuticals and supplements. It is produced from cellulose, a natural polymer, and fiber, which are considered safe for human consumption.
