Are you looking for food gum that could also turn liquids into thin sheets that are flexible and have a plastic-like texture? Methocel A15 is your choice! It is a food gum that behaves like a starch, thickening to form a gel. It has been used in the commercial production of ice cream and baked goods to increase volume and shelf life. Methocel A15 can be piped into hot liquid to form instant noodles. When whipped it behaves like egg whites and can be added to marshmallows, soufflés, and meringues.
