About these pages...

This section will build as food ingredients are added. Each file will include the background science, properties, practical applications, technical data and details of suppliers.

I'm starting with methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, ingredients that have made groundbreaking contributions to the development of gluten-free and vegan/vegetarian markets. They have also found widespread use in bakery, meat and potato products.
