Sodium CMC for Food

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose in Food
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is used as an additive in food, widely used in cold products, lactic acid beverages, solid beverages, fruit juices, jams, condiments, biscuits, instant noodles, ice cream, bread and cakes, baked products and meat products, etc., mainly for thickening, emulsification, Suspension, stability, shape retention, film formation, puffing, taste improvement, antiseptic preservation, acid resistance and health care, etc., Sodium CMC can be replaced the role of guar gum, gelatin, pectin, agar and sodium alginate in food production.

“LinGuang” Sodium CMC For Food

“LinGuang” Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose in food products have good effects in food production in terms of thickening,Water- retention, dispersion stability, film-forming and chemical stability.

  • High viscosity can also be obtained at low concentration, which can control the viscosity of food processing, and at the same time give food a delicate and smooth taste;
  • Can effectively reduce the syneresis of food and prolong the shelf life of food;
  • Can well control the crystallization of frozen food size, prevent oil-water stratification, and maintain the stability of food quality;
  • Form a film in fried food to prevent excessive oil absorption;
  • In acidic systems, acid-resistant CMC has good suspension stability, which can effectively improve the emulsion stability and protein resistance.

Sodium CMC in Different Food Processing

The Role in Ice Cream

  • Increase the viscosity of the mixture and prevent the fat from floating;
  • Improve the uniformity of the system and reduce the formation of large ice crystals;
  • Enhance the melting resistance of ice cream, giving it a delicate and lubricating taste;
  • Reduce the use of solid raw materials and reduce production costs.

The Role in Yogurt Products

  • Increase the viscosity of yogurt, improve texture, state, taste, and stabilize the system;
  • Prevent whey precipitation during the shelf life and improve the structure of yogurt;
  • Strong anti-sedimentation effect, good thermal stability and acid resistance.

The Role in Bread and Pastry

  • Improve the internal organization, enhance the processing machinery and water absorption of the dough;
  • Make the baked bread and pastry honeycomb uniform, increase in volume and brighten the surface;
  • Prevent aging and retrogradation of gelatinized starch and prolong the freshness period;
  • Adjust flour gluten to prevent bread and pastry from drying out and maintain appearance shape.

The Role in Other Food Processing

  • Ultra-high viscosity can replace guar gum and reduce production cost;
  • Used as a film-forming matrix to make edible packaging film to reduce environmental pollution;
  • Added to jam, butter and peanut butter to improve spreadability;
  • It is a better beer foam stabilizer and CO²-retention agent in low-calorie carbonated drinks;
  • It is a better antiseptic coating agent for vegetables and fruits.
