E428, or methyl cellulose, is a food additive widely used in the food industry as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier. It helps improve the texture and structure of products, making them more resistant to separation and changes during preparation.
Methyl cellulose contains no carbohydrates and does not affect blood sugar levels.
It is worth noting that in large quantities, methyl cellulose may cause stomach upset in some individuals.
Methyl cellulose is commonly used in various products such as yogurts, sauces, milk substitutes, jellies, ice cream, and other low-fat, low-carb products.
The health risk of methyl cellulose for humans is considered low.
