Product details

Halal Certified Food Grade Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) | HERSONCARE

Product Overview

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), also known as Cellulose Gum, is a high-purity, water-soluble cellulose ether derived from natural cellulose (refined cotton and wood pulp) through advanced chemical modification. As a versatile and multifunctional food additive, HERSONCARE's Halal-certified CMC is engineered for exceptional performance in a wide range of applications. It dissolves rapidly in both cold and hot water, forming clear, smooth solutions with excellent thickening, stabilizing, suspending, and film-forming properties.

Our food-grade CMC is distinguished by its superior acid and salt tolerance, high transparency, and minimal free fiber content, making it a more reliable and efficient choice compared to other hydrocolloids. Typically used at concentrations between 0.2% and 0.5%, it is an indispensable ingredient for enhancing product texture, stability, and mouthfeel in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. Furthermore, as part of our extensive portfolio that includes premium Moisturizing Agent and Antioxidants Raw Materials, this product underscores our commitment to providing high-quality, functional ingredients.

Product Features & Advantages

HERSONCARE's CMC offers a unique combination of properties that provide significant advantages in formulation:

Excellent Thickening & Water Binding: Significantly increases viscosity and improves consistency even at low concentrations.
Superior Stability: Provides exceptional stability against heat, acids, and salts, preventing syneresis (water separation) and maintaining product integrity.
High Clarity: Produces solutions with excellent transparency, ideal for clear beverages and glossy sauces.
Outstanding Dispersion and Dissolution: Dissolves quickly without clumping, ensuring easy handling and processing.
Halal & Kosher Certified: Complies with Islamic and Jewish dietary laws, broadening your product's market appeal.
Non-Toxic and Hypoallergenic: Derived from natural cellulose, making it a safe choice for food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications.

Compared to other hydrocolloids like xanthan gum or guar gum, our CMC provides better acid stability and a cleaner mouthfeel, often at a more competitive cost-in-use.

How to Use Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

For optimal results, follow these steps for incorporating CMC into your formulations:

Dispersion: Dry-blend CMC powder with other dry ingredients (like sugar or starch) to separate the particles and prevent lump formation.
Hydration: Gradually add the dry blend to the water or aqueous phase under vigorous agitation (high-shear mixing is recommended).
Dissolution: Continue stirring until the solution becomes clear and viscous, indicating complete hydration. Heat can speed up dissolution, but it is not required.
Adjustment: The solution can be adjusted to the desired pH after complete hydration. CMC remains stable across a wide pH range.
Incorporation: Blend the hydrated CMC solution into the final product mix uniformly.

Typical Dosage: 0.2% - 0.5% by weight, depending on the desired viscosity and application.

Application Scenarios

HERSONCARE's Food Grade CMC is a critical functional ingredient across diverse industries:

Food & Beverages:
- Ice Cream & Frozen Desserts: Prevents ice crystal formation, provides smooth texture, and improves melt resistance.
- Sauces, Dressings & Condiments: Acts as a thickener and stabilizer, providing consistent viscosity and preventing phase separation.
- Bakery Products: Improves moisture retention, extends shelf life, and enhances volume and texture in cakes and gluten-free products.
- Beverages: Suspends pulp in juices, provides body in diet drinks, and stabilizes protein drinks.
Pharmaceuticals: Used as a binder in tablets, a stabilizer in suspensions and emulsions, and a viscosity-modifying agent in topical gels and ointments.
Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a superb Moisturizing Agent and thickener in lotions, creams, toothpastes, and shampoos, providing smooth application and stability. It works synergistically with other raw materials like Sodium Hyaluronate.

Benefits for Customers

Enhanced Product Quality: Achieve superior texture, stability, and sensory attributes in your final products.
Cost-Efficiency: High potency at low usage levels reduces overall ingredient cost.
Process Improvement: Easy to handle and incorporate, reducing production time and complexity.

Minimum Order Quantity: 20 Kilograms.

Production Process

Our CMC is manufactured through a state-of-the-art process that ensures consistency and purity:

Alkalinization: High-purity natural cellulose is treated with sodium hydroxide to form alkali cellulose.
Etherification: The alkali cellulose reacts with monochloroacetic acid in a controlled etherification reaction to introduce carboxymethyl groups.
Purification: The crude product is thoroughly washed with purified water and ethanol to remove by-products like sodium chloride and glycolate.
Drying & Milling: The purified CMC is dried and milled to the specified particle size distribution.
Quality Control: Every batch is rigorously tested against our key specifications (viscosity, DS, moisture, purity) before release.
