150g of Food grade Methylcellulose E 461 - Methocel A4M Methocel A4M (E461) is a Food Grade Modified Cellulose, It forms a firm gel at 122-131°F (50-55°C). (*) It has a high viscosity of 4000 cP. (**) Common names Modified Methyl Cellulose, methyl cellulose or modified vegetable gum. Methocel A4M has the unique ability to form a gel when heated above 45ºC which will then return to a liquid state upon cooling (approx 15ºC). Perfect for creating hot gels which melt in the mouth. It can also be used to make clear, solid and flexible films which are produced by allowing a Methocel solution to dry out at a low temperature. *) Gelling temperature can be modified in the presence of cosolutes : gelation temperature is lowered in the presence of salts or sorbitol gelation temperature is raised in the presence of ethanol or propylene glycol (**) Viscosity of MC solution is concentration dependant Product Specifications Methoxyl: 30% Viscosity, 2% in water, @20°C, calculated: 3,500 - 5,600 cP Primary Chemistry: Methyl Cellulose (MC) Features & Benefits Yields optimum performance at a lower concentration Water-soluble No ionic charge Excellent pH stability (2-13) Reversible thermal gelation Superior binding High water retention Excellent emulsification properties Food Use: Bakery products Confections Pie and pastry fillings Frozen desserts Whipped toppings Structured food products ( Vegetables or Meat ) Frying batters Salad dressings and sauces Typical use rate : 0.05 to 1% Dissolving Methylcellulose : Preparing a solution of methylcellulose in cold water is delicate because when the powder comes into contact with water, a gel layer is formed. This decreases the diffusion of water into the powder and results in formation of macro-gelled particles with a very low dissolution rate. Therefore, it has been proposed to first disperse methylcellulose powder in hot water (around 75 °C) and then cool down to around 5 °C under continuous stirring. This method provides faster dissolution of the particles resulting in a homogeneous solution. Sold in a vacuum sealed pouch with zipper . Free postage Australia wide, with tracking.
