1. Pharmaceutical Industry

• Tablets/Capsules: 2–10% w/w as binder/coating. Low viscosity (15–100 mPa·s) for rapid dissolution; high viscosity (≥4000 mPa·s) for sustained release.
• Capsule Shells: Forms 100% of vegetarian capsules; ideal for dry powder inhalers (low moisture ≤5%).
• Ophthalmic Solutions: 0.5–2.5% lubricating drops (1–2 drops/dose).

2. Construction Industry

• Gypsum Plaster/Mortars: 0.1–0.5% by weight enhances water retention (>95%), adhesion, and workability.
• Tile Adhesives: 0.2–0.4% improves open time (≥30 mins) and bond strength (≥1.5 MPa).

3. Food Industry

• Sauces/Ice Cream: 0.1–2% as thickener/stabilizer (viscosity 400–1000 mPa·s).
• Gluten-Free Baking: 1–3% mimics gluten texture, improving dough rise by 20–30%.

4. Cosmetics

• Creams/Shampoos: 0.1–2% enhances viscosity (200–5000 mPa·s) and film-forming.
