Product Description

Carboxymethyl cellulose(CMC) or cellulose gum is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone. It is often used as its sodium salt, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.

CMC is used in food under the E number E466 as a viscosity modifier or thickener, and to stabilizeemulsions in various products including ice cream. It is also a constituent of many non-food products, such as toothpaste, laxatives, diet pills, water-based paints, detergents, textile sizing, and various paper products.

CMC is also used in pharmaceuticals as a thickening agent, for example as the lubricant in lubricating eye drops, and in the oil-drilling industry as an ingredient of drilling mud, where it acts as a viscosity modifier and water retention agent.

Application

Product Type	Brookfield Viscosity (mPa.s, 25ºC)		Degree of Substitution	Applicantion Area
	1% Solution	2% Solution
Type 1		Low Viscosity (25-400)	0.7-0.9	Cold products, quick-frozen food, solid beverage, fruit juice, jam, sauce, soup, biscuits, instant noodles, baking goods and meat products, etc.
		Medium Viscosity (400-2000)
	High Viscosity (200-10000)
	Ultra High Viscosity (10000-15000)			Food fields where there should be ultra-high requirement on viscosty
Type 2 (High resistance to acid)		Low Viscosity (20-50)	≥1.0	Lactic acid beverage,yogurt products,etc.
		Low Viscosity (80-120)
		Low Viscosity (25-400)	≥0.92
		Medium Viscosity (400-2000)
	Medium Viscosity (200-500)
	High Viscosity (500-6000)		>0.9
	Super High Viscosity (>6000)

Advantages of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

1. Thickening: CMC E466 can produce high viscosity at low concentration. It also acts as lubricant.

2. Water retention: CMC E466 is a water binder, helps increase shelf life of food.

3. Suspending aid: CMCE 466 acts as emulsifier and suspension stabilizer, particularly in icings to control ice crystal size.

4. Film forming: CMC E466 can produce a film on the surface of fried food, eg. instant noodle, and prevent absorption of excessive vegetable oil.

5. Chemical stability: CMC E466 is resistant to heat, light, mold and commonly used chemicals.

6. Physiologically inert: CMC E466 as a food additive has no caloric value and can not be metabolized
