- Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is an ideal food additive for the food industry, has the functions of thickener, stabilizer, emulsifier, suspension, water retention, anti-corrosion, retains freshness, acid-resisting, health-protecting, etc.
- It is widely used in food production such as liquid beverages, acidic milk drinks, fruit juice, solid instant drinks, roasting, ice cream, instant noodles, condiments, and other foods.
- Adding CMC to food production can reduce production costs, improve food quality, improve food taste, and extend the shelf life of food.
The Characteristics of Food Grade CMC:
* Stability and moisture in bakery products
* Mouthfeel in hot and cold beverages
* Stabilization of filling in convenience foods
* Economical protein stabilization in acidified dairy drinks
* Keep the system stable and lengthen the shelf life
* Thickening in juices, jelly & jam
