As known to all, the food industry has now become highly developed. People have increasingly higher demand for the flavor, texture, nutrition and shelf life of food. Therefore, for food manufacturers, improving the quality and taste of food and ensuring the health of food is means to attract consumers. At the same time, in order to ensure the competitiveness and taste, it is also crucial to improve the shelf life of food. Sodium CMC is a versatile food additive derived from cellulose. As an anionic water-soluble polymer, it serves multiple functions in food production, including thickening, stabilizing, emulsifying, and moisture retention. Its widespread adoption across food industry stems from its safety, effectiveness, and versatile functional properties.
CMC serves as a powerful thickening agent even at low concentration. As a stabilizing agent, it helps to maintain consistent quality by preventing oil-water separation in emulsified products and controlling ice crystal in frozen dessert. Additionally, CMC functions effectively as an emulsifier, facilitating the creation of stable, homogeneous mixture of oil and water component, reducing the occurrence of stratification. Meanwhile, its ability to combine with water can effectively extend the shelf life of many foods.
In bakery products, CMC plays a crucial role. It signally improve dough rheology, making it easier to handle and process. CMC enhances water retention in baked goods, resulting in softer texture and prolonged freshness. It also contributes to maintaining optimal texture throughout shelf life in cake and bread.
