Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose of various grades can be produced. This anionic liner polymer has found many uses in technical applications, as a food additive and in the pharmaceutical industry. A white to cream powder can be made into cellulose gum which has the ability to withstand boiling, freezing and even subfreezing temperatures for a short time allowing it to be a handy addition during the processing of specialty foods. The usage of CMC as a binder, thickener, stabilizer, or for water retention lead to its wide acceptance as a direct food additive. Some applications include frozen desserts, cake mixes, crackers, powdered soups and beverages.
