Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a nontoxic and tasteless white flocculent powder, which is stable in performance and soluble in water. Its aqueous solution is neutral or alkaline transparent viscous ...
CMC in food has many functions, such as thickening, emulsifying, excipient, puffing and preservation. It can be used instead of gelatin, agar, sodium alginate and other food gums.
For high purity sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, all the raw materials needed are refined cotton, wood pulp, chloroacetic acid, hydrochloric acid, alcohol and liquid alkali.
CMC is odourless, odourless, non-toxic, moisture-absorbent white or yellowish granules and fibrous powder. It has excellent water solubility, viscosity, emulsification, diffusibility.
Natural cellulose is the most widely distributed and abundant polysaccharide in nature. At present, the modification technology of cellulose mainly focuses on etherification and esterification.
