Food Grade High-Substitute Hydroxypropyl Cellulose(H-HPC)

In the food and beverage industry, High-Substitute Hydroxypropyl Cellulose (H-HPC) is widely used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, and thickener for various foods.

Food Grade High-Substitute Hydroxypropyl Cellulose(H-HPC)

The "One-step slurry method" for producing high-substituted hydroxypropyl cellulose ether (containing 50-80% hydroxypropoxy) consists of alkalization, etherification, and neutralization steps.

H-HPC acts primarily as a thickening and stabilizing agent, enhancing the texture and viscosity of various food products. Its ability to form stable gels and emulsions makes it particularly useful in sauces, dressings, and dairy products, where it helps maintain consistency and prevent separation. Additionally, H-HPC can improve the mouthfeel of low-fat formulations, providing a creamy texture without the need for added fats.

White, odorless, tasteless powder.

Soluble in water and various organic solvents like ethanol and acetone at room temperature; solutions are clear.

Excellent film-forming properties.

H-HPC is a good thermoplastic material with excellent film-forming properties. The films are tough, glossy, and highly elastic.

low ash content.

With very low ash content, this product has excellent adhesion properties. It is highly stable when used as an emulsion thickener and has good dispersibility.

Strong antibacterial properties.

The substituent groups in H-HPC are evenly and fully distributed, giving it strong antibacterial properties. It also has a low equilibrium moisture content.
