Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose - High Viscosity Food-grade Thickener Non-toxic And Hypoallergenic Properties Ideal For Gluten-free And Reduced Fat Products

we are engaged in manufacturing and supplying of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose in Ahmedabad Gujarat India. Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) or cellulose gum is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone. It is often used as its sodium salt sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. CMC is used in food under the E number E466 as a viscosity modifier or thickener and to stabilize emulsions in various products including ice cream. It is also a constituent of many non-food products such as toothpaste laxatives diet pills water-based paints detergents textile sizing and various paper products. It is used primarily because it has high viscosity is nontoxic and is generally considered to be hypoallergenic as the major source fiber is either softwood pulp or cotton linter. CMC is used extensively in gluten free and reduced fat food products. In laundry detergents it is used as a soil suspension polymer designed to deposit onto cotton and other cellulosic fabrics creating a negatively charged barrier to soils in the wash solution. CMC is used as a lubricant in artificial tears.
