When combined with gelatin, it can significantly increase the viscosity of the gelatin. A high molecular weight CMC (DS around 1.0) should be selected.
Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) acts as a stabilizer in foods. 

Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) is also employed in pharmaceuticals as a suspending agent and excipients for tablets. 
Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) is used as viscosity modifiers to stabilize the emulsions. 

Safety Profile Of Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose):
Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) is also widely used in cosmetics, toiletries, and food products, and is generally regarded as a nontoxic and nonirritant material. 
However, oral consumption of large amounts of carboxymethylcellulose sodium can have a laxative effect; therapeutically, 4–10 g in daily divided doses of the medium- and high-viscosity grades of Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) have been used as bulk laxatives.
However, in animal studies, subcutaneous administration of Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) has been found to cause inflammation, and in some cases of repeated injection fibrosarcomas have been found at the site of injection.

Hypersensitivity and anaphylactic reactions have occurred in cattle and horses, which have been attributed to Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) in parenteral formulations such as vaccines and penicillins.
The WHO has not specified an acceptable daily intake for Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) as a food additive since the levels necessary to achieve a desired effect were not considered to be a hazard to health.
Mildly toxic by ingestion. 

Experimental reproductive effects. 
Questionable carcinogen with experimental neoplastigenic data. 
Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) migrates to food from packagmg materials. 

When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes of NazO.
Cellulose gum (Carboxymethylcellulose) is used in oral, topical, and some parenteral formulations.
