PHYSICAL AND CHEMICAL PROPERTIES:
*Appearance: White or quasi-white fibrous or granular powder, odorless and tasteless.
*Solution: Almost insoluble in ethanol, ether, chloroform (1: 1) in the mixture can form a clear or suspended viscous solution. In 80-90 ºC hot water rapid swelling, cooling after rapid dissolution, water dissolution at room temperature is quite stable, high temperature gel, It undergoes a reversible transition from gel to dissolution after heating and cooling.
*Characteristics: Excellent wettability, dispersion, adhesion, thickening, emulsifying, water-holding and film-forming, and oil impermeability. The film has excellent toughness, flexibility and transparency. Because it is non-ionic, it can be compatible with other emulsifiers, but it is easy to be salted out and the solution is stable in the range of pH 2-12.
*Density: 1.3 g / cm, Apparent density: 0.25-0.7 g / cm%.
*discoloration temperature: 190-200 ºC.
Carbonization temperature: 225-230 ºC.
*Surface tension: 25 ºC 47-53 dyn / cn.

Application of Food-Grade MC:
Main Features
Enzyme Resistance: MC exhibits significantly better enzyme resistance than starch, with long-lasting effectiveness.
Adhesive Properties: It can provide the highest adhesive strength under appropriate dosage, while also offering moisture and flavor release.
Cold Water Solubility: It easily hydrates rapidly even at lower temperatures.
Emulsifying Properties: MC can reduce interfacial tension and decrease oil droplet aggregation, resulting in improved emulsion stability.
Application Guide:
