Calcium carboxymethyl cellulose

Description:
Calcium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a derivative of cellulose, a natural polymer, and is characterized by its ability to form a gel-like substance when mixed with water. It is a white to off-white powder that is soluble in water, forming a viscous solution. The presence of calcium ions enhances its stability and thickening properties, making it useful in various applications. CMC is widely used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier in food products, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It is non-toxic and generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for consumption. Additionally, CMC exhibits excellent film-forming properties and can improve the texture and mouthfeel of food products. Its ability to retain moisture makes it valuable in personal care formulations. The substance is also utilized in the textile and paper industries for its binding and coating properties. Overall, calcium carboxymethyl cellulose is a versatile compound with significant industrial and commercial applications due to its functional characteristics.
