## Overview

Pure Methylcellulose High Viscosity is a 100% food-grade, plant-based thickener and emulsifier that dissolves in cold liquids and gels when heated between 132°F and 148°F. Certified Kosher by the Orthodox Union, this 400g pack offers a reliable, non-toxic, vegan-friendly solution ideal for molecular gastronomy, vegan meat binding, and stabilizing frozen desserts.

## Description

High Viscosity Methylcellulose E461, or methyl cellulose is a thickener and emulsifier. Methylcellulose is a compound derived from cellulose. This white hydrophilic powder dissolves ONLY in cold liquid to form a clear viscous solution or gel. A solution of methylcellulose will turn solid when heated and since it is completely thermo-reversible will turn back to liquid when cooled. It is also used as a stabilizer in ice cream to help prevent the formation of ice crystals during freezing or re-freezing after a thaw. Like cellulose this component is non toxic, and not allergenic. Methylcellulose HV is High Viscosity (approximately 4500 cps. in 2% solution). Cold water soluble, Methylcellulose HV will gel when heated to temperatures from 132F to 148F. Our LV and HV methylcellulose can be mixed together at different ratios to achieve desired effects. This product is certified Kosher (Pareve) by the Orthodox Union

Review: Good product - I recommend this product. Will buy again.
Review: Perfect for vegan 'meat' - I am a home cook enthusiast that dabbles in molecular gastronomy. While I do eat meat, I also make vegetarian and vegan dishes on a regular basis (at least 4-5 times per week). I use this methylcellulose HV as a binding agent for vegan hamburger meat made out of TVP (textured vegetable protein). This stuff is absolutely amazing - it keeps the 'meat' from coming apart in the skillet, and gives it that toothy feel you get from meat after its been cooked. It only takes a little bit, so I know this bag will last me a very long time. Tip: just be sure you keep your mixture really cold (refrigerated) before you add the methylcellulose, and don't let it get warm before you cook it, or it may gel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for vegan 'meat'

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ You'll need this product for realistic Vegan Burgers
*by H***T on August 10, 2020*

A vegan burger can be made without Methylcellulose - High Viscosity, but it will not hold together and the bite is mushy. Methylcellulose - High Viscosity, when added to my burger mix results in a burger that holds together when cooked and chews like an all meat burger. I didn't give up meat because I didn't like meat, I still enjoy the bite, flavor, and consistency of a good burger, so I can have what I'm looking for in a burger and no animal is harmed, it's a win win for me.
