characteristics, and now, carboxymethylcellulose has been widely used in cold drinks, frozen foods, dairy products, fruit
juices and other food industries.
1) CMC function in food production
1, Thicken: to obtain high viscosity at low concentrations. Carboxymethyl cellulose can control the viscosity of food
processing, while giving food lubricity.
2, Water retention: reducing syneresis food and extend shelf life of food.
3, The dispersion stability: maintaining food quality stability, prevent water stratification (emulsification), the control
crystals in frozen food size (reduced ice crystals).
4, Film: the formation of a layer of film in fried foods, to prevent excessive absorption of fat.
2), the edible properties of CMC
CMC is used as an additive in the consumption sector in the country for many years.Manufacturers are constantly
improving the intrinsic quality of the CMC. Our company CMC edible salt antacid properties was constantly research work,
the quality of the product has been large domestic and foreign food manufacturers unanimously affirmed, to improve the
