Food Grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is not a one-size-fits-all ingredient. Its effectiveness in various food applications hinges on specific technical specifications that dictate its performance. Understanding these parameters is vital for food formulators seeking to optimize their products. As a knowledgeable supplier of CMC, we aim to guide you in selecting the most suitable grades for your needs.

Key specifications for CMC include the Degree of Substitution (DS) and viscosity. The DS refers to the number of carboxymethyl groups attached to the cellulose backbone, influencing its solubility and functional properties. A higher DS generally leads to better solubility and stability. Viscosity, typically measured at a specific concentration (e.g., 1% or 2% solution), indicates the thickening power of the CMC. For applications requiring significant thickening, such as sauces or dairy products, higher viscosity grades are preferred. Manufacturers often look to buy CMC with specific viscosity ranges to achieve desired product textures.

Other important specifications include purity, moisture content, pH, and levels of impurities like chlorides and heavy metals. For food applications, high purity is essential. Our Food Grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose is manufactured to meet strict purity requirements, ensuring it is safe and effective. We provide detailed specifications for each of our product grades, allowing you to make informed purchasing decisions. When you buy CMC from us, you receive transparent information about its characteristics.

The choice of CMC grade depends heavily on the intended application. For instance, CMC used in ice cream might require different viscosity and substitution levels compared to CMC used in beverages or baked goods. Our role as a supplier extends to assisting you in navigating these choices. By understanding your specific formulation goals, we can recommend the most appropriate CMC product, ensuring optimal performance and value.
