Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC)

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a cellulose-based thickener used to control viscosity, improve texture, and stabilize food products.

CMC is a water-soluble cellulose derivative produced by chemically modifying natural cellulose. It appears as a white to cream-colored powder and dissolves easily in water to form clear, stable solutions.

Its main functions include:

• Increasing viscosity

• Binding and retaining water

• Preventing phase separation

• Improving mouthfeel and consistency

CMC is valued for its neutral taste, high stability, and cost efficiency, making it one of the most widely used hydrocolloids in the food industry. It performs well across a broad pH range and remains stable under heat processing.
