Locking in the filling
When it comes to handling the Heatset, we are right at home in the kitchen. METHOCEL™ Heatset is our food ingredient solution to prevent boilout – a problem that occurs when the filling that was supposed to remain inside a pot pie, ravioli or egg roll finds its way out before we’ve gotten a chance to take our first bite.
METHOCEL™ Heatset is our solution for enhancing the hot mouth-feel of foods, resulting in consistent texture and a more satisfying product that can leave any mouth smiling. This is also the perfect product to give you accurate control over loss of viscosity and boil-out issues during heating.
Unique reversible thermal gelation property
Unlike other gums, METHOCEL™ Heatset forms gels at high temperatures. Very uniquely, the phenomenon is fully reversible and the gel disappears upon cooling. With this product, you can precisely tailor the eating texture of your products.
- Provides a very juicy “hot” structure to many meat and vegetarian products to significantly improved eating quality
- Controls and stabilizes the viscosity of sauces, soups and filings during Heatseting processes which will improve bake stability and mouthfeel at eating temperatures
- Prevents boil-out in all kinds of sweet and savory filled products and snacks
- Makes cakes and other delicate products more resistant to collapsing, even when handled by high-speed, automatic equipment
- Inhibits moisture migration between components of fabricated foods like frozen dinners, even under harsh microwave conditions
