In this blog, we took an in-depth look at Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC), a plant-based compound that revolutionized the nutritional supplement and pharmaceutical industries. We found that HPMC not only provides functional benefits as a thickener and stabilizer, but is also a safe and inclusive alternative to gelatin, making it suitable for a wide audience, including vegetarians and vegans.
The approval from regulatory authorities such as EFSA and the FDA emphasizes the safety of HPMC, supported by extensive scientific studies. Furthermore, the moisture-resistant properties and thermal stability of HPMC in capsule and tablet forms are undeniable, contributing to the quality and sustainability of nutritional supplements.
No analytical data that would support the identification of the active substance and the batch to batch consistency of the additive was provided.
The advent of the MHE (Methylhydroxyethyl) cellulose factory marks a significant milestone in the realm of sustainable chemical production. This state-of-the-art facility specializes in the manufacture of methylhydroxyethyl cellulose, a versatile derivative of cellulose that has found extensive applications in industries ranging from pharmaceuticals to food and cosmetics. In the pharmaceutical industry, HEC is used in a variety of applications such as in tablet coatings, ophthalmic solutions, and as a viscosity modifier in oral formulations
