Unlock Your Potential with MHEC - Comprehensive Educational Resources
HPMC has thickening ability, salt resistance, low ash powder, pH stability, water retention, dimensional stability, excellent film forming, and a wide range of enzyme resistance, dispersion and adhesion.
Thus, there seems to be agreement that methyl cellulose does not adsorb. None of these works, however, offers an alternative model which clearly can describe the mechanism behind water retention capability of MC. Accordingly, there is still a need for clarification.
