Main Applications

Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (hereinafter refer to as CMC), also named as the "Industrial MSG", is one of cellulose ether which has the largest output capacity, widest application and most convenient for usage.

CMC is physiological harmless and has the characteristics of high viscosity to form colloidal solution with the properties of adhesiving, thickening, flowing, emulsifying, sizing, water retention, colloids protection, film-forming, acid and salt resistance, suspending, etc.

For the above reason, CMC is widely used in the industry of food, pharmaceutical, daily chemical, oil drilling, papermaking, textile, construction and others.

Product Uses

CMC is used as stabilizing of acid drink due to its unusual characteristic and superior quality. It has following characteristics:

1) Prevent protein in acid milk from condensing, settling and laminating.

2) Due to its unusual smooth sugar paste after it dissolves, it make drink taste good and smooth.

3) Its good evenness and acid resistance provides drink with excellent stability.

Furthermore, CMC is used in ice cream to make water, sebum, protein to form a mixture which is stable and well dipersed. At the same time, it tastes good, smooth and has good formability.

Used in bread and cakes, CMC can control paste viscosity and strengthen water taking and keeping.

Used in instant noodles, it increase toughness and cook-resistance; used in biscuits and cakes, it becomes better in formability, crisp and fragrant;

Used in instant eatable paste such as peanut paste, sesame seed paste and mixed rice pudding, it works as a paste base. When making low-heart food, you can use CMC because it has no heat itself.
