The ideal gluten and fat replacer: HPMC

Presenting our brand new product…

Here at BakeRite, we understand the importance of finding new allergen and gluten free food ingredients, to create products that are not only safe for everyone to eat, but also stand up to the flavour and texture of traditional recipes. With that in mind, we’re pleased to be adding another new ingredient to our offering…

So what is HPMC?

HPMC is a type of Hydroxypropyl Methyl Cellulose created using cellulose pulp, which has been extracted from the cell walls of plants. It is a clever agent that forms a soft, fluid gel that maintains its viscosity during heating and reduces boilout in fillings. This product is allergen and gluten free, making it the perfect ingredient for your free from recipes!

How it can be used

HPMC can be used to help replace gluten in gluten free products, retain the shape of formed foods at high temperatures, reduce oil uptake in fried foods and increase shelf life. This makes it ideal for all gluten free baking including cakes, pastries, doughs and pies, as well as for sauces and soups, snack bars, fat free puddings and even mayonnaise. It is also a great aid in food coating applications.

With enormous culinary possibilities, this versatile plant-based product can help you to create healthier reduced fat, gluten free, vegetarian and vegan foods that consumers are increasingly reaching for. What’s more, there’s no compromise on taste, look or feel.
