Comparing E460 - Cellulose vs E467 - Ethulose

Overview

E460 - Cellulose

Cellulose (E460) is a purified plant fiber used in many foods to improve texture and flow. It helps keep powders free‑flowing, adds bulk without adding sugar or fat, and can support a creamy mouthfeel in low‑fat recipes. It is the same carbohydrate that makes up plant cell walls and passes through the human gut largely unchanged.

E467 - Ethulose

Ethulose (E467) is a plant‑based cellulose derivative used to thicken, stabilize, and emulsify foods. It helps sauces, drinks, and desserts keep a smooth, even texture without adding flavor or color. It is widely approved for use and is not digested like ordinary carbohydrates.

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. How to change number e467 pager?

    E467 refers to Ethulose (ethyl hydroxyethyl cellulose), a food additive used as a thickener, stabiliser, and emulsifier—not a pager. It improves texture and stability in foods.

  2. How to change number e467 pager 101 to 102?

    E467 isn’t a pager code; it’s the additive Ethulose, a modified cellulose used to thicken and stabilise foods. It’s generally considered safe at permitted levels, though excessive intake may cause mild laxative effects.

  3. How to program alphanumeric text pager (model e467)?

    There isn’t a pager model here—E467 is the code for Ethulose, a cellulose-derived food additive used as an emulsifier, stabiliser, and thickener. It’s produced from plant cellulose that’s been chemically modified.
