Understanding Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) : a common multifunctional additive   In food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and other fields, additives play an important role in the quality and performance of products. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a common multifunctional additive, which is widely used in food industry. This blog will introduce the definition, features, and applications of CMC in different fields.   CMC Definition and features Sodium Carboxymethylcellulose, or Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium, is a chemical derived from natural cellulose. It is a sodium salt obtained by esterification of cellulose and has good solubility in water. The CMC has the following features: Water-soluble: CMC can quickly dissolve in water and form a viscous solution. Viscosity: CMC has a high viscosity, which can increase the viscosity and adhesion of the product. Stability: CMC can maintain stability under acidic, alkaline and high temperature conditions. Degradability: CMC c...

Introduction: Welcome to my blog! Today, I am excited to discuss a remarkable ingredient that has revolutionized the food and cosmetic industries—xanthan gum. Xanthan gum, derived from the fermentation of carbohydrates, is a natural polysaccharide that brings numerous benefits to a wide range of products. In this blog post, we will explore what xanthan gum is, how it is produced, and its various applications.    What is Xanthan Gum? Xanthan gum is a high-molecular-weight polysaccharide made by fermenting sucrose or glucose with a specific strain of bacteria called Xanthomonas campestris. This microorganism produces a gel-like substance through fermentation, which is then purified and dried to create xanthan gum.   Unique Properties of Xanthan Gum:   Thickening and stabilizing agent: Xanthan gum has exceptional thickening and stabilizing properties, making it an invaluable ingredient in many food products. It adds viscosity, enhances texture, and prevents ingre...
