Ethylcellulose and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet
Ethylcellulose is a chemically modified form of cellulose, which is a natural polymer found in the cell walls of plants. It is created by reacting cellulose with ethyl chloride, resulting in a compound that is water-insoluble but soluble in many organic solvents. This property makes it useful in food and pharmaceutical applications, especially for creating protective coatings and controlled-release mechanisms in medications.
