Current Trends in Cellulose Market Pricing and Future Projections for Industry Growth
Methylcellulose is commonly used as an ingredient in the production of commercially-made ice cream due to its ability to stabilize the product. It serves as an alternative to gelatin and vegetable gum such as guar gum and locust bean gum. The chemical compound is also added to baked goods, salad dressings, and salad gums. It helps prevent sugar crystallization and increases the shelf life of food products by controlling moisture content.
