Food Grade CMC,as a high viscosity clarified solution hydrocolloid,can be used in various foods include beverage,bakery,dairy,seasonings,etc with properties of thickening, emulsifier,texture/body-building,stabilizer,etc.,The excellent performance of CMC in food can improve mouthfeel,extend shelf life, improve texture.

In beverages,CMC adds pleasant,clean mouthfeel,in addition,the anionic nature of CMC allows it to interact with the positive charges found on protein in acidic conditions,thus making it an excellent stabilizer for low PH dairy beverages.CMC is also used in ice cream to control melt down,add texture and protect against heat shock.

CMC are efficient thickeners and have great ability to control and hold water,specially beneficial for bakery and other applications to extend shelf life.
