Guest guest Posted November 6, 2001 Report Share Posted November 6, 2001 I know that some people use methycellulose gel in place of xanthan or guar gums in baking, so I think it's okay. I don't know if it can be derived from more than one source, though. Anyone? Vivace, 26yo w/Asperger's Syndrome, Dysthymia, and PTS Mother of , 6yo w/Autism and heaven knows what else Original message: My son who has been on the diet over 2 weeks is missing icecream. We haven't been able to find sorbert so I thought I would check Dairy Queen. I found this cherry-lime frozen treats. The ingred. are just water, sugar, natural flavor, citric acid, methylcellulose (that is the one I'm wondering about) carob bean gum, guar gum, pectin, and ascorbic acid. What do you think? He is just GFCF. We aren't dealing with anything else at this time. W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything you wanted to know about methylcellulose (and way more than that) Chemical make up http://www.herc.com/aqualon/product_data/images/250_10h.pdf As Dietary fiber http://www.herbafood.de/forsch01_e.pdf CMC (Carboxymethylcellulose) is a cellulose ether, produced by reacting alkali cellulose with sodium monochloroacetate under rigidly controlled conditions. The cellulose is derived from...well....trees. Slightly OT...but kind of fun... From a great page on making slime ....http://freeweb.pdq.net/headstrong/slime.htm Methylcellulose []Methylcellulose is what " movie " slime is made of. It is an organic thickener used in many of the foods we eat. Mixed with a little water and coloring and allowed to " set up " , it makes one of the most beautiful of all the slimes (see " Ghostbusters " ). Unfortunately, it is organically based and tends to stink/dry out fairly quickly. Not really recommended for home use. However, if you really feel compelled to make a batch, try some of the motion picture supply houses listed on the web. ---------------------------------------------- Jay Bigam Marketing and Information Technology Manager Kinnikinnick Foods Inc. www.kinnikinnick.com Toll Free: 1- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
