In regions with significant temperature differences between summer and winter, it is advisable to use lower viscosity HPMC during the winter season for better construction results. Otherwise, at lower temperatures, the viscosity of the cellulose increases, resulting in a heavier feel during application and scraping.
In ruminants, cellulose is first hydrolysed by ruminal microorganisms into cellobiose, then is fermented to pyruvate and finally volatile fatty acids. The changes of forage to concentrate ratios in the diet significantly affect the number and type of rumen microorganisms and then affect the end products of fermentation. Moreover, the extent of cellulose digestion is a compromise between the rate of hydrolysis and the retention time in the rumen related to the particle size of the forage. The intrinsic digestibility of cellulose depends on the origin and treatment of the forage. As far as cellulose is associated to lignin, hemicelluloses and cutin in natural forages, a wide range of digestibility is observed (30 to 90%). Crystallinity of cellulose decreases the rate but not the extent of digestibility that may reach 80% (Van Soest, 1994).
Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose
What is HPMC?
HPMC




Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HMPC) is a polysaccharide additive used in frosting, coatings, gluten-free baking and dietary supplements. It is also a stabilizer, thickener, fat replacer, bulking and binding agent. 1

What is HPMC?
Due to its excellent mucoadhesive properties, HPMC gel is used in ophthalmic solutions to provide longer residence time on the ocular surface and improve drug absorption.
