Product Description

Carboxy methyl 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.

It is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid. The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups render the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive. The functional properties of CMC depend on the degree of substitution of the cellulose structure (i.e., how many of the hydroxyl groups have taken part in the substitution reaction), as well as the chain length of the cellulose backbone structure and the degree of clustering of the carboxymethyl substituents.

Application

1. Bakery Goods: CMC improves the texture and shelf life of baked goods by maintaining moisture.

2. Ice Cream: It helps to create a smoother texture and prevent ice crystal formation in frozen desserts.

3. Low-Fat Products: CMC provides a creamy mouthfeel in low-fat products, mimicking the texture of higher-fat versions.

4. Coating Agent: Used as a coating agent for candies and chewable tablets, reducing stickiness and improving appearance.

5. Beverages: In beverages, CMC enhances mouthfeel and stabilizes suspended particles, preventing sedimentation.

6. Dairy Products: In dairy analogs, it provides the desired consistency and texture similar to traditional dairy products.

7. Meat Analogs: CMC is used in vegetarian meat substitutes to provide a meat-like texture
