Cellulose derivatives that form a thermoreversible gel that gels upon heating and returns to a sol upon cooling.
At Unitec Foods, we handle the 'Heat Gel / Heat Sol Series' which consists of methylcellulose and HPMC. This product has a unique feature of gelling and thickening when a water solution is heated, and returning to its original state upon cooling. The temperature at which thermal gelation begins and the degree of gelation and thickening vary by grade, allowing for use under various conditions. 【Features】 ■ The raw material is plant pulp ■ Reversible thermal gelation and thickening effect ■ The degree of gelation and thickening can be adjusted to various conditions ■ Possesses high emulsifying power and maintains emulsification even during heating due to the thermal gel effect ■ Does not have an HLB like emulsifiers, allowing for emulsification under a wide range of conditions regardless of O/W or W/O systems *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Company information
We continue our research on hydrocolloids, including pectin, with the concept of creating new food value using unique materials. We have particularly excelled in the delicate development of textural properties. In addition to creating textures like "jiggly and chewy," we are developing materials that improve physical properties, such as "wanting to retain moisture but not increase viscosity" and "wanting to prevent water separation after thawing." We are engaged in daily research and development to provide products with unprecedented characteristics by combining various physical property improvement materials, as well as custom physical property development tailored to our customers' environments. We offer quality improvement materials that solve various physical property challenges in areas that require "biodegradability" and "safety," not only in the food industry but beyond.
