        abstract = {There are numerous applications for hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) in food and pharmaceutical formulations. Applications for it include coating polymers, bio adhesives, viscolizing agents (thickening agents), binder in granulation processes, solid dispersion to improve solubility, and modified release formulations. been thoroughly recorded. Another noteworthy application is the creation of capsule shells, which substitute animal-derived gelatin for the traditional two-piece capsule's gelatin.This review's objective is to comprehensively examine the basic history, types, physicochemical properties, different methods of synthesis, uses, handling precautions, storage conditions, different in compatibilities, adverse effect, different evaluation like Assay, pH, UV, IR, etc., information about patents and its expiry these all points are covered in this review},
