Shin-Etsu Chemical: High-Quality Ingredients for Food and Beverage Innovation

METOLOSE® food grade is widely applied for various processed foods. Functional advantages are versatile as binders, emulsifiers, stabilizers, suspension agents, protective colloids, thickeners and film-forming agents. On top of that, ''reversible thermal gelation'' is really unique property of METOLOSE® for food processing. METOLOSE® aqueous solution makes gel upon heating and returns to solutions after cooling. This property is very useful for food processing. For example, it can provide stable viscosity under a wide range of temperature. And this elastic gel helps to reduce oil migration, retain moisture and keep shape during cooking without changing the original texture. Thermal gel provides heat stability to processed foods when deeply fried, baked in ovens and warmed up in microwaves. Furthermore, when eaten, any gummy texture goes away with time passage due to METOLOSE® reversibility.

Methylcellulose reduces oil absorption of French fries or processed products. TYLOPUR MCE-100 can increase yields.

TYLOPUR® NE-15000 is a high-viscosity hydroxypropyl methylcellulose optimized for bakery and dough-based applications requiring volume and softness.

It enhances batter and dough stability, improves gas retention, and delivers soft crumb structures, making it well suited for gluten-free and specialty baked goods.

Manufactured to stringent quality standards, NE-15000 enables formulators to achieve consistent texture and volume while supporting clean and plant-based formulation strategies.

TYLOPUR® NE-4000 is a versatile hydroxypropyl methylcellulose designed for multi-functional thickening and stabilization across a wide range of food systems.

It supports viscosity control, soft texture development, and structure stability without requiring special temperature management, simplifying processing conditions.

With proven reliability and strong formulation tolerance, NE-4000 is a practical choice for manufacturers seeking balanced performance and formulation security.
