HPMC offers high viscosity at low concentration. It also functions as a lubricant.
2. Water-Holding
As a kind of water glue, it is conducive to the improvement of shelf life of food.
3. Film-Forming
The water glue can produce a film on the surface of fried food, instant noodles, or the vegetable oil that can avoid excessive absorption.
4. Chemical Stability
Our product is a common chemical that is highly resistant to heat, light and mould.
