Food grade CMC

Food grade CMC

Food grade CMC Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose has multiple functions in foods such as thickening, suspension, emulsification, stabilization, shape retention, film formation, expansion, preservation, acid resistance and health care. It can replace guar gum, gelatin, The role of agar, sodium alginate and pectin in food production is widely used in modern food industry, such as lactobacillus beverages, fruit milk, ice cream, sherbet, gelatin, soft candy, jelly, bread, fillings, pancakes , Cold products, solid beverages, condiments, biscuits, instant noodles, meat products, pastes, biscuits, gluten-free bread, gluten-free pasta, etc. Used in food, it can improve the taste, improve the grade and quality of the product, and extend the shelf life.

Kimacell® Food grade CMC can effectively reduce the syneresis of food and extend the shelf life of food; it can better control the size of crystals in frozen food and prevent the oil and moisture layer; when added to biscuits, Kimacell® Food grade CMC can achieve anti-cracking effect. Better water absorption and retention, and enhance the stability of biscuits by improving their bonding properties. The low and medium viscosity in the Kimacell® Food grade CMC series provides stable performance and effectively meets customer needs.

Function of CMC in food production

1. Thickening: High viscosity can be obtained at low concentration. It can control the viscosity during food processing, while giving the food a smooth feeling.

2. Water retention: reduce the syneresis of food and extend the shelf life of food.

3. Dispersion stability: maintain the stability of food quality, prevent oil and water layer (emulsification), control the size of crystals in frozen food (reduce ice crystals).

4. Film-forming property: A layer of glue film is formed in fried foods to prevent excessive absorption of fats and oils.

5. Chemical stability: It is stable to chemicals, heat and light, and has certain anti-mildew properties.

6. Metabolic inertness: As an additive to food, it will not be metabolized and does not provide calories in food.

7. Odorless, non-toxic and tasteless.

 

Performance of food grade CMC

Food grade CMC has been used as an additive in the edible food industry for many years in the world. Over the years, Food grade CMC manufacturers have continuously improved the inherent quality of CMC. Our company has carried out continuous research work on the acid and salt resistance of Food grade CMC. The quality of the product has been unanimously affirmed by large food manufacturers at home and abroad, which has played a very important role in improving the quality of food production.

Food grade CMC compared with other similar products

A. The molecules are evenly distributed, and the volume proportion is heavier;

B. High acid resistance;

C. High salt tolerance;

D. High transparency, very few free fibers;

E. Less gel.

 

The role in different foods production and processing

1 The role of ice cream in the production of cold drinks and cold food:

1.) Ingredients of ice cream: milk, sugar, emulsion, etc. can be evenly mixed;

2. )Good forming performance, not easy to break;

3.) Prevent ice crystals and slippery tongue touch;

4. )Good gloss and beautiful appearance.

 

2 The role of noodles (instant noodles):

1. )When stirring and pressing, it has strong viscosity and water retention, and contains water, so it is easy to stir;

2. )After steam heating, a thin film protective layer is produced, the surface is smooth and shiny, and it is easy to process;

3.) Low oil consumption for frying;

4.) It can improve the noodle quality and strength, and it is not easy to be broken during packaging and transportation;

5.) The taste is good, and the blisters are not sticky.

 

3 The role in the production of lactic acid bacteria beverage (yogurt):

1.) Good stability, not easy to produce precipitation;

2. )It can extend the shelf time of the product;

3. )Strong acid resistance, PH value in the range of 2-4;

4.) It can improve the taste of the drink and make the entrance slippery.
