what is cellulose gum

After cellulose is carboxymethylated, carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is obtained. Its aqueous solution has functions such as thickening, film formation, adhesion, moisture retention, colloid protection, emulsification and suspension, and is widely used in industries such as petroleum, food, medicine, textiles and papermaking. It is one of the most important cellulose ether types.

Description

Products Description

 

Carboxymethyl cellulose is classified into industrial grade, food grade and pharmaceutical grade, and can be used in various applications such as food, detergents, medicine, coatings, ceramics and oil drilling. It fully complies with industry standards. The characteristics of CMC are odorless, tasteless and non-toxic, presenting as white to off-white powder or granular form. CMC is a carrier for biological products.

Functional features and applications

Daily Chemical Detergent Grade HPMC Cellulose

Thickening and emulsification stability

 

CMC can play an emulsifying and stabilizing role in beverages containing oil and protein. This is because CMC becomes a transparent stable colloid after dissolving in water. The protein particles become particles with the same charge under the protection of the colloid membrane, which can keep the protein particles in a stable state. It also has a certain emulsifying effect, so it can also reduce the surface tension between fat and water and fully emulsify the fat.

CMC can improve the stability of the product. This is because when the pH value of the product deviates from the isoelectric point of the protein, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can form a composite structure with the protein, which can improve the stability of the product.

Improve the bulkiness

 


Using CMC in ice cream can increase the expansion of ice cream, improve the melting speed, give it a good shape and taste, and control the size and growth of ice crystals during transportation and storage. The amount used is added at a ratio of 0.5% of the total amount.

This is because CMC has good water retention and dispersibility, which organically combines the protein particles, fat globules and water molecules in the colloid to form a uniform and stable system.

Hydrophilicity and rehydration

 


This functional property of CMC is generally used in bread production, which can make the honeycomb uniform, increase the volume, reduce the dregs, and also has the function of heat preservation and freshness preservation; noodles with added CMC have good water retention, cooking resistance and good taste.

This is determined by the molecular structure of CMC. It is a cellulose derivative with a large number of hydrophilic groups in the molecular chain: -OH group, -COONa group, so CMC has better hydrophilicity and water retention than cellulose.

Gelation effect

 


Thixotropic CMC means that the macromolecular chains have a certain number of interactions and tend to form a three-dimensional structure. After the three-dimensional structure is formed, the viscosity of the solution increases. After breaking the three-dimensional structure, the viscosity decreases. The thixotropic phenomenon is that the apparent viscosity change depends on time.

Thixotropic CMC plays an important role in the gelling system and can be used to make jelly, jam and other foods.

Can be used as a clarifier, foam stabilizer, and improve taste
CMC can be used in wine production to make the taste more mellow, rich, and long-lasting; in beer production, it can be used as a foam stabilizer for beer to make the foam rich and lasting and improve the taste.

CMC is a polyelectrolyte that may participate in the reaction of maintaining various balances in the wine. At the same time, it also combines with the already formed crystals, changes the structure of the crystals, changes the existence conditions of the crystals in the wine, and causes the precipitation of the precipitate.
