Bread
Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) used in bread production can make bread uniform, increase the volume of bread, and reduce the phenomenon of dross. It prevents the bread from collapsing, and has the effect of keeping warm and fresh.
Beverages
In beverages containing fruit or fruit, solid contents tend to settle to the bottom of the container. The addition of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to this drink can prevent this phenomenon and make the pulp or fruit evenly suspended, brightly colored, eye-catching in the container, and prolong the shelf life of the fruit drink.
Condiments
The specially modified CMC has good salt resistance, acid resistance, thickening and stability. When applied to soy sauce, soy sauce powder, peanut butter, hot sauce, jam, oyster sauce, sesame sauce and other condiments, it can improve the quality and organization of these products, making the state of the product thicker and more stable; it can improve the sensory quality of the product, such as Color and aroma.
Soybean Milk
CMC can stably suspend and emulsify soybean milk. It can prevent fat from floating and sinking, and has a great effect on whitening, sweetening and removing soy taste of soybean milk. The dosage is added in the proportion of 5‰ of the total amount.
Ice Cream
CMC can be used in ice cream with good formability and not easy to break. It gives the ice cream a nice gloss and beauty
