I-Methylcellulose luhlobo lwe-cellulose ephuma kwi-cellulose esetyenziswa kakhulu kumashishini okutya, amayeza, kunye ne-cosmetic. Ngumgubo omhlophe, ongenavumba, ongenancasa onyibilika emanzini abandayo kwaye wenze ijeli engqindilili xa ixutywe namanzi ashushu. I-Methylcellulose yenziwa ngokuphatha i-cellulose, i-polymer yendalo efunyenwe kwizityalo, kunye ne-alkali kwaye iphendule nge-methanol ukuvelisa i-methyl ether derivative.

Kwishishini lokutya, i-methylcellulose isetyenziselwa i-thickener, i-stabilizer, kunye ne-emulsifier kwiimveliso ezininzi ezifana ne-sauces, izambatho, izinto ezibhakiweyo, iimveliso zobisi kunye nemveliso yenyama. Ihlala isetyenziselwa indawo yamafutha kukutya okunamafutha aphantsi okanye okuncitshisiweyo-ekhalorini zokutya kuba inokudala ukuthungwa okukhrimu ngaphandle kokongeza iikhalori ezongezelelweyo. I-Methylcellulose iphinda isetyenziswe kwishishini lamachiza njenge-binder, i-disintegrant, kunye ne-ejenti yokukhululwa elawulwayo kwiipilisi kunye neepilisi. Kushishino lwezithambiso, isetyenziswa njengento etyebisayo kunye ne-emulsifier kwiimveliso zokhathalelo lomntu ezifana neshampu, iiloshini, kunye neekhrimu.

Ngaba iMethylcellulose ayilunganga kuwe?

I-Methylcellulose yaziwa ngokubanzi njengekhuselekile (GRAS) yi-US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) kwaye isetyenziswa ngokubanzi kwishishini lokutya. I-World Health Organization (WHO) kunye ne-European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) baye bavavanya i-methylcellulose kwaye bafumanisa ukuba ikhuselekile ukuba isetyenziswe ngabantu. Nangona kunjalo, abanye abantu banokufumana iziphumo ezibi zesisu xa besebenzisa iimveliso ezine-methylcellulose, ezifana nokuqunjelwa, igesi, kunye nohudo.

Enye yeenzuzo ze-methylcellulose kukuba ayifuntshwa ngumzimba kwaye idlula kwinkqubo yokugaya ngaphandle kokuphulwa. Oku kuthetha ukuba kunokunceda ukukhuthaza ukuhamba kwamathumbu rhoqo kunye nokuthintela ukuqhina. I-Methylcellulose nayo iphantsi kweekhalori kwaye ingasetyenziselwa indawo yamafutha kwindawo ephantsi kwamafutha okanye ukutya okuncitshisiweyo.

Nangona kunjalo, kukho iinkxalabo malunga nefuthe lexesha elide lokutya inani elikhulu le-methylcellulose. Olunye uphando lucebise ukuba amanani aphezulu e-methylcellulose anokuphazamisa ukufunxwa kwezondlo emzimbeni, kubandakanya i-calcium, isinyithi kunye ne-zinc. Oku kunokukhokelela ekunqongophaleni kwezi zimbiwa ziyimfuneko, ngakumbi kubantu abathatha kancinci okanye abafunxa kakubi ezi zondlo.

Enye inkxalabo enokubakho kukuba i-methylcellulose inokuchaphazela i-gut microbiome, eyona ingqokelela ye-microorganisms ehlala kwinkqubo yokugaya kwaye idlala indima ebalulekileyo kwimpilo yonke. Olunye uphando lucebise ukuba i-methylcellulose inokuguqula ukubunjwa kunye nomsebenzi we-gut microbiome, nangona uphando olungakumbi lufunekayo ukuze uqonde ngokupheleleyo le mpembelelo enokwenzeka.

Kubalulekile ukuba uqaphele ukuba i-methylcellulose ayifani neselulosi, efumaneka ngokwemvelo kwiziqhamo, imifuno, kunye neengqolowa ezipheleleyo. I-Cellulose ngumthombo obalulekileyo we-fiber yokutya, eyimfuneko ekugcineni inkqubo yokugaya enempilo kwaye inokunceda ukunciphisa umngcipheko wezifo ezingapheliyo ezifana nesifo senhliziyo, isifo seswekile, kunye neentlobo ezithile zomhlaza. Nangona i-methylcellulose inokubonelela ngezinye zeenzuzo zefiber, ayithathi indawo yokutya okuneziqhamo, imifuno kunye neengqolowa ezipheleleyo.

Ukuqukumbela, i-methylcellulose sisongezo sokutya esisetyenziswa ngokubanzi esibonwa ngokubanzi njengekhuselekile ziiarhente ezilawulayo ezifana ne-FDA, WHO, kunye ne-EFSA. Nangona inokubonelela ngeenzuzo ezithile ezifana nokukhuthaza ukuhamba kwamathumbu rhoqo kunye nokunciphisa ukutya kwekhalori ekutyeni okunamafutha aphantsi, kunokuba nemiphumo enokubakho efana nokungahambi kakuhle kwesisu kunye nokuphazamiseka kokufunxa izondlo. Kubalulekile ukusebenzisa i-methylcellulose ngokumodareyitha kwaye njengenxalenye yokutya okunokulinganisela okubandakanya iintlobo ezahlukeneyo zokutya okunomsoco. Njengaso nasiphi na isongezo sokutya, isoloko ingumbono olungileyo
