- 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
