Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose(Food-Grade)
Product Introduction：
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is a high-performance, multifunctional ingredient designed to elevate product quality across industries. Renowned for its superior thickening, stabilizing, and moisture-retention properties, CMC enhances texture, consistency, and shelf life in food and beverages, while ensuring smoothness and reliability in pharmaceuticals and personal care. Its advanced formulation benefits extend to detergents, textiles, and oilfield applications, delivering unmatched versatility and performance.
Characteristics：
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an anionic, water-soluble cellulose ether with excellent film-forming, emulsifying, and stabilizing properties. It exhibits high viscosity, strong water retention, and pH stability across a wide range. Chemically, its degree of substitution and molecular weight determine solubility, rheological behavior, and performance in diverse industrial formulations.
key functions:
- Viscosity Control
- Stabilization Agent
- Water Retention

Applications：
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is widely used in the food and beverage industry as a safe and effective stabilizer, thickener, and texture enhancer. It improves the mouthfeel of dairy products, beverages, and sauces while preventing phase separation in emulsions. In bakery items, CMC enhances dough handling, increases volume, and prolongs freshness by retaining moisture. Ice cream and frozen desserts benefit from its ability to control ice crystal growth, ensuring smooth texture. Additionally, it enhances the stability and uniformity of instant noodles, jams, dressings, and confectionery products.
Packaging and transport：
The standard packaging is a 25KG/bag. Both packaging and transport meet the international regulations. For the availability of other packed quantities, please contact us.
CMC is not classified as a dangerous good according to national and international transport regulations.
