## Overview

Pure Methylcellulose High Viscosity is a 100% food-grade, non-GMO, vegan thickener and emulsifier derived from plant fibers. It dissolves in cold liquids to form a clear viscous solution that gels when heated between 132°F and 148°F, boasting a medium viscosity of approximately 4500 cPs. Certified kosher by the Orthodox Union, it’s a trusted ingredient for molecular gastronomy, vegan meat substitutes, 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: Excelent - I have finished a few paper mache projects with this now and it has been excellent.
Review: Useful for making vegan meat substitutes - I am not a fan of store bought vegan ground meat substitutes. I bought this to use to make the Gentle Chef's Quite Possible Burgers and Gentle Meatballs. It works well in both recipes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excelent

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Useful for making vegan meat substitutes
*by C***1 on December 1, 2024*

I am not a fan of store bought vegan ground meat substitutes. I bought this to use to make the Gentle Chef's Quite Possible Burgers and Gentle Meatballs. It works well in both recipes.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Seems great to me :)
*by K***M on March 17, 2021*

I got this for a recipe I found online to make fake chicken with pea protein (and various other items - Sauce Stache is the youtube if you're interested). I just made it yesterday and it tastes amazing. The Methylcellulose was part of the binding mixture and it worked very well. I have a ton left because the recipe only called for a few tsp. I am excited to try this in other recipes.
