Crazy though it sounds, most of your list can be found on Amazon.com...do a search there, and you'll see.

i know i have seen some of the stuff on amazon like the more common agar agar but things like metil a.k.a methylcellulose is only available in flavored dietary supplements and stuff like that so i was looking for some raw product distributors

Actually, they sell some of the products you listed by a company called El Bullitaler which are specifically used by the food industry, not as nutritional supplements...if you're looking for large amounts, you could try contacting them directly...

Amazon.com: El Bullitaler: Gourmet Food

Just a thought...I'm no expert, but I do know that Amazon is a good starting point for the craziest things.

and yeah el bullitaler is run by an offset company of ferran adria and they are the ones that created alot of the teqniques for useing those chemicals in new ways to make new types of food

Hard to beat the flavor of good farm raised methylcellulose.

They carry the complete line, and more importantly, the folks there have been to Spain and learned from the man himself. Further, if you have questions, you can call them right up and they give answers. A GREAT group of folks who are way into the molecular movement, have experience, and are willing to problem solve with actual, busy, working chefs.

maltodextrin is simply dextrose, AKA corn sugar. Available at any beer brewing supply shop.
