Popular questions
  1. What is cellulose powder?

    A purified, plant-derived insoluble fiber (E460) ground into a fine powder, used in foods as a carrier, anti-caking agent, thickener, and stabilizer; it isn’t digested by humans.

  2. What is cellulose made of?

    A linear polymer of D-glucose units linked by β-1→4 bonds ((C6H10O5)n). Food-grade cellulose is sourced from plant cell walls, typically wood pulp or cotton.

  3. What is microcrystalline cellulose?

    The microcrystalline form of cellulose (E460(i)), made by acid hydrolysis of purified plant cellulose. It’s used in foods as a bulking agent, anti-caking agent, and stabilizer.

  4. What is powdered cellulose?

    Finely ground purified cellulose (E460(ii)) obtained by mechanically processing plant fibers; it helps prevent caking, adds bulk, and modifies texture in foods.

  5. What is cellulose gum?

    A water-soluble cellulose derivative, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (E466), used as a thickener and stabilizer; it’s related to but distinct from E460 cellulose.

  1. What does pvp mean?

    In food additives, PVP means polyvinylpyrrolidone (E1201), a synthetic, water‑soluble polymer used as a stabiliser, emulsifier, and thickener.

  2. What is pvp in gaming?

    In gaming, PVP means player versus player and is unrelated to foods; in this context, PVP refers to polyvinylpyrrolidone (E1201).

  3. What is povidone iodine?

    It’s a complex of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and iodine used as a topical antiseptic, not as a food additive.

  4. Is povidone iodine the same as betadine?

    Betadine is a brand of povidone‑iodine solution, so they are essentially the same (brand vs generic).

  5. What does pvp stand for?

    Polyvinylpyrrolidone (E1201).
