DESCRIPTION:
CMC Food Grade is a kind of cellulose ether, that can easily be soluble in cold and hot water, with maximum yield, most widely and conveniently used among all cellulose products.
The main raw material of CMC Food Grade is refined cotton and wood pulp.
CAS No. 9004-32-4
CMC Food Grade is mostly used in the food industry with a common dosage of 0.2%-0.5%.
Compared with other similar hydrocolloids, food-grade CMC is featured strong acid resistance, high salt resistance and good transparency, with very few free fibers, fast dissolving and good fluidity after dissolving.
CMC Food Grade, as a good emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, is widely used in the food industry, such as drinks, ice-cream, yogurt, meat products, bread, wine, jelly, candy, cookie, noodle, jam, etc.
CMC Food Grade is one of the most excellent food additives to improve product flavor and prolong storage time.
CMC Food Grade can enhance the taste, prevent fresh-preserving food from dehydration, extend food shelf-life, better control the crystal size of frozen food, avoid oil-water stratification, and improve the quality and grade of products; in acid environment, acid-resistant CMC with good suspension stability can effectively improve the stability of juice, yoghurt and other liquid products and prevent stratification and precipitation; besides, according to practical production needs, it can be used in combination with Xanthan Gum, Carrageenan, Guar Gum, Pectin and other stabilizers and emulsifiers, playing a complementary and synergistic function.
Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a water-soluble polymer that is derived from cellulose, which is a naturally occurring polymer found in plant cell walls.
CMC Food Grade is produced by chemically modifying cellulose through the addition of carboxymethyl groups, which gives it its unique properties such as high water solubility, thickening ability, and film-forming properties.
CMC Food Grade is widely used in a variety of industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and textiles, as a thickener, binder, stabilizer, emulsifier, and dispersant.
CMC Food Grade is commonly found in food products such as ice cream, salad dressings, and baked goods as a thickener and emulsifier, as well as in cosmetics and personal care products such as toothpaste and shampoo as a binder and stabilizer.
The main function of carboxymethyl cellulose is a thickener, stabilizer, tenacity strengthening agent, water retention agent, dispersing agent, binder, suspension, film-forming agent and so on in food and beverage processing, such as ice cream, juice, fruit jam, dairy products, beer, lactic acid drinks, yogurt, syrups, bakery products, wine, sauces, seasoning, meat products, etc.
Food grade CMC can control the size of crystals in frozen food, and prevent stratification between oil and water. In an acid system, sodium cmc grades have good suspension stability in acid-resistant food, can effectively improve solution stability and impedance capability of protein.
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can improve taste and mouthfeel, reduce the syneresis of food, raise quality and prolong shelf life.
We classified food grade CMC into two types, type 6 and type 9.
Type 6 is a common CMC (degree of substitution 0.75-0.9), and type 9 (degree of substitution more than 0.9) is acid-resistant with much better stability.
The purity of our food-grade carboxymethyl cellulose is much higher than 99.5%, meeting GB1886.232-2016, E 466 and FCC IV standard.
This is very important to guarantee food safety.
We can produce food-grade CMC as required specifications from ultra-low to very high viscosity.
CMC Food Grade is Used as an e466 food additive, the main function of food-grade CMC is as thickener, stabilizer, tenacity water retention agent, emulsifier, suspension, film-forming agent and so on.
E466 in food has many useages, like ice cream, juice, fruit jam, dairy products, beer, lactic acid drinks, yogurt, syrups, bakery products, wine, sauces, seasoning, meat products, etc.
Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (or CMC, carboxymethylcellulose , cellulose gum ,sodium CMC, cellulose sodium, carboxymethylcellulose sodium salt), is now a kind of cellulose with the widest range of application and the maximum usage amount.
CMC Food Grade is the sodium salt of cellulous carboxymethyl ether and belongs to anionic cellulose ethers, in shape of white or light yellow powder.
There are more and more approaches to application of CMC Food Grade in food production and different properties play different roles.
Now, it has been widely used in various food industries such as cold drinks, frozen food, dairy products and fruit juice.
Cmc food grade can compound with xanthan gum and guar gum to improve application performance as well as to sharply reduce production cost.
CMC Food Grade has good performance in acid resistance and stability.
Especially in drinks, CMC Food Grade has such properties as preventing drinks from precipitation and layering, improving the taste and enhancing heat resistance.
As a thickening stabilizer, cmc food grade is also be used in the production of various kinds of compound emulsion stabilizer.
For example, the compound of CMC Food Grade, guar gum and carrageenan enables ice cream materials to have relatively high viscosity and to improve the emulsifying capacity of protein.
CMC Food Grade also makes the tissue structure of ice cream soft, fine and smooth, the taste lubricant, and the texture thick and dente, with relatively good melting resistance.
In the production of ice cream, the use of Cellulose Gum helps to reduce the formation of ice crystals in large or medium particles, enhance the melting resistance, improve the fine and smooth taste, whiten the color of ice cream and increase the volume of ice cream.
Meanwhile, the use of CMC Food Grade can reduce the usage amount of solid materials and then reduce the production cost of ice cream.
Carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) is a nontoxic and tasteless white flocculent powder with stable performance and is easy to dissolve in water.
Its aqueous solution is a neutral or alkaline transparent viscous liquid, soluble in other water-soluble adhesives and resins, and insoluble in organic solvents such as ethanol.
CMC can be used as binder, thickener, suspending agent, emulsifier, dispersant, stabilizer, sizing agent, etc.
Sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), commonly known as "industrial monosodium glutamate", is the most widely used and convenient product among cellulose ethers.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (High Purity Grade / Food Grade) is widely used in drinks, milk products, flouring products and seasoning. It has functions as a toughener, stabilizer, thickener, water maintainer and emulsifier for various food applications.
CMC Food Grade thickens and stabilizes a lot of foods by retaining moisture, keeping oil and water phased ingredients don’t separate and produces a consistent texture and so on.
