E466 Sodium CMC's Formulation Advantages CAS NO.9004-32-4

Carboxymethyl Cellulose, often abbreviated as CMC, is a versatile water-soluble polymer derived from cellulose. It is synthesized by the chemical modification of cellulose, introducing carboxymethyl groups onto the cellulose backbone. This modification enhances its water solubility and makes it useful across various industries. CMC carboxymethyl cellulose is utilized across multiple sectors including food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and cosmetics.

Water Solubility: Its excellent water solubility makes CMC easy to incorporate into formulations and ensures uniform distribution within products, enhancing its effectiveness as a functional ingredient.

Non-toxic and Safe: CMC is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food and pharmaceutical applications, ensuring consumer safety and regulatory compliance.

Cost-effectiveness: Despite its wide-ranging benefits, CMC remains a cost-effective solution for manufacturers due to its relatively low production costs and efficient performance in small concentrations.

Thickening Agent: CMC carboxymethyl cellulose serves as a thickening agent in foods such as ice cream, jelly, sauces, and beverages, enhancing viscosity and texture, thereby improving mouthfeel.

Stabilizer: CMC is commonly used as a stabilizer in food processing to prevent separation, sedimentation, or phase separation. It helps maintain the uniformity and stability of products like dairy and sauces.

Emulsifier: Acting as an emulsifier, CMC e466 stabilizes oil-in-water emulsions, ensuring the uniform dispersion of oil and water phases in products like salad dressings, condiments, and mayonnaise.

Suspension Agent: In some beverages, Sodium CMC functions as a suspension agent, aiding in the even dispersion of solid particles (such as pulp, granules, or bubbles) in the liquid, improving the overall mouthfeel.

Moisture Retainer: In certain baked goods and bread products, CMC carboxymethyl cellulose acts as a moisture retainer, prolonging the freshness and maintaining softness over time.
