Food Grade CMC

1. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose(CMC) for Food Industry
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose(Food grade CMC) can be used as thickener,emulsifier,excipient, expanding agent,stabilizer and so on, which could replace the role of gelatin, agar, sodium alginate. With its function of toughness, stabilizing, reinforce thicking, water maintaining, emulsifying, mouthfeel improving. When using this grade of CMC, cost can be reduced, food taste and preservation can be improved, guarantee period can be longer.So this kind of CMC is one of indispensable additives in food industry.

3. Description
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone. It is often used as its sodium salt, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.
4. Type and Specifications

1)       FH6 & FVH6  (Common food grade CMC)

2)        FH9 & FVH9  (Acid-resistant food grade CMC)

5. Properties
A. Thickening: CMC can produce high viscosity at low concentration. It also acts as lubricant.
B. Water retention: CMC is a water binder, helps increase shelf life of food.
C. Suspending aid: CMC acts as emulsifier and suspension stabilizer, particularly in icings to control ice crystal size.
D. Film forming: CMC can produce a film on the surface of fried food, eg. instant noodle, and prevent absorption of excessive vegetable oil.
E. Chemical stability: CMC is resistant to heat, light, mold and commonly used chemicals.
F. Physiologically inert: CMC as a food additive has no caloric value and can not be metabolized.
6. Characteristics
A. Finely distributed molecular weight.
B. High resistance to acid.
C. High resistance to salt.
D. High transparency, low free fibers.
E. Low gel.
7. Package
