Different kinds of methyl cellulose can be prepared depending on the number of hydroxyl groups substituted. Cellulose is a polymer consisting of numerous linked glucose molecules, each of which exposes three hydroxyl groups. The Degree of Substitution (DS) of a given form of methyl cellulose is defined as the average number of substituted hydroxyl groups per glucose. The theoretical maximum is thus a DS of 3.0, however more typical values are 1.3?2.6.; Methyl cellulose (or methylcellulose) is a chemical compound derived from cellulose. It is a hydrophilic white powder in pure form and dissolves in cold (but not in hot) water, forming a clear viscous solution or gel. It is sold under a variety of trade names and is used as a thickener and emulsifier in various food and cosmetic products, and also as a treatment of constipation. Like cellulose, it is not digestible, not toxic, and not allergenic.E461FEMA 2696Methyl celluloseC20H38O11454.5091454.241412058(6S)-3,4,5-trimethoxy-2-(methoxymethyl)-6-{[(3R)-4,5,6-trimethoxy-2-(methoxymethyl)oxan-3-yl]oxy}oxane(6S)-3,4,5-trimethoxy-2-(methoxymethyl)-6-{[(3R)-4,5,6-trimethoxy-2-(methoxymethyl)oxan-3-yl]oxy}oxane9004-67-5COCC1O[C@@H](O[C@@H]2C(COC)OC(OC)C(OC)C2OC)C(OC)C(OC)C1OCInChI=1S/C20H38O11/c1-21-9-11-13(23-3)15(24-4)18(27-7)20(30-11)31-14-12(10-22-2)29-19(28-8)17(26-6)16(14)25-5/h11-20H,9-10H2,1-8H3/t11?,12?,13?,14-,15?,16?,17?,18?,19?,20+/m1/s1YLGXILFCIXHCMC-JHGZEJCSSA-N belongs to the class of organic compounds known as o-glycosyl compounds.
