O le hydroxyethylcellulose ose mea masani?

Leai, hydroxyethylcellulose e le o se mea masani. O se polymer synthetic e maua mai le cellulose. E faʻaaogaina e fai ma sui faʻamalosi, faʻamautu, ma emulsifier i le tele o oloa, e aofia ai mea teuteu, vailaʻau, meaʻai, ma mea tau alamanuia.

O le Hydroxyethylcellulose ose pauta pa'epa'e, leai se manogi, leai se tofo e so'a i vai malulu. E gaosia e ala i le taliina o le cellulose i le ethylene oxide, o se vailaʻau e maua mai i le suauu. O le polymer e maua ona togafitia i le sodium hydroxide e fai ai se vaifofo viscous.

Hydroxyethylcellulose e faʻaaogaina i oloa eseese, e aofia ai:

• Mea teuteu: O le Hydroxyethylcellulose e faʻaaogaina e avea o se vailaʻau mafiafia ma emulsifier i mea teuteu, e pei o lotions, kulimi, ma gels. E fesoasoani e taofi le oloa mai le vavae ese ma fesoasoani e tuʻuina atu i ai se mea lamolemole, kulimi.

• Falema'i: O le Hydroxyethylcellulose o lo'o fa'aaogaina e fai ma mea fa'amautu ma fa'amalo i le tele o mea tau vaila'au, e aofia ai papa, capsules, ma fa'amalologa.

• Mea'ai: O le Hydroxyethylcellulose o lo'o fa'aaogaina e fai ma sui mafiafia ma fa'amautu i mea'ai 'ese'ese, e aofia ai sosi, la'ei, ma mea'ai suamalie.

• Talosaga Alamanuia: O le Hydroxyethylcellulose o lo'o fa'aaogaina i le tele o mea tau alamanuia, e aofia ai le faiga o pepa, vili palapala, ma mea fa'apipi'i.

O le Hydroxyethylcellulose e manatu e saogalemu mo le fa'aoga i mea teuteu ma mea'ai, ma e masani ona fa'ailoa e le US Food and Drug Administration e saogalemu (GRAS). Ae ui i lea, e le o se mea masani, aua e maua mai i vailaʻau e maua mai i le suauu.
