Food Grade CMC used as a additive in food field, CMC has the functions of thickening, suspending, emulsifying, stabilizing, shaping, filming, bulking, anti-corrosion, retaining freshness, acid-resisting, health protecting, etc. It can replace the application of guar gum, gelatin, agar, sodium alginate, and pectin. It is widely used in modern food industry, such as frozen food, solid drink, fruit juice, jam, lactic acid drinks, condiment, biscuit, instant noodles, bakery products, meat products, etc.
1. Food Grade CMC Application in alcoholic products:
∎ CMC give mellow taste and strong fragrance and linger the residual taste.
∎ CMC used as a foam stabilizer for beer production to enrich and endure foam and to improve taste.
2. Food Grade CMC Application in liquid beverages:
∎ Applied to fruit teas, fruit drinks and vegetable juice to suspend fruit pulp, all kinds of solids or other objects in containers, bring them plump and uniform form and bright colours and to improve their taste.
∎ Applied to neutral flavoured milk drinks such as cocoa milk to increase the viscosity of cocoa milk and prevent sediment of cocoa powder.
∎ Stabilize beverages and lengthen the freshness lifetime of beverages.
3. Food Grade CMC Application in jelly, milk jelly and jam:
∎ CMC gives appropriate thixotropy.
∎ CMC play an important role in cementitious system.
4. Food Grade CMC Application in instant noodle:
∎ Prevent syneresis and increase puffing ratio.
∎ Easy to control moisture, reduce water supply quantity and to decrease oil content.
∎ CMC bring uniform products and improve structures.
∎ Give bright-coloured and smooth surface.
5. Food Grade CMC Applications in bread and cake:
∎ CMC powder improve the inner structure and strengthen the processing mechanical property and water absorption of dough.
∎ Help the honeycomb of bread to distribute even, enlarge the size and make the surface bright.
∎ Prevent paste starch from seasoning and retrograding and extend the shelf life.
∎ Adjust the elasticity of the flour, prevent the bread or cake from shrivelling and keep the shape.
6. Food Grade CMC Application in quick-frozen cooked wheaten food and dessert:
∎ Continuously keep the original state after products are frozen for many times.
∎ Lengthen the freshness lifetime.
7. Food Grade CMC Application in biscuit and pancakes:
∎ CMC improve the flour quality and texture and adjust gluten degree of flour.
∎ CMC prevent moisture evaporating and aging and bring light and crisp biscuit and pancakes.
8. Food Grade CMC Applications in ice cream:
∎ Enhance the viscosity of mixed solution and prevent grease from floating up.
∎ Improve the uniformity of the system and reduce the generation of big crystal.
∎ Strengthen the anti-melt ability of ice cream and make it taste delicate and smooth.
∎ CMC reduce the use of solid materials and lower the cost.
9. Food Grade CMC Application in edible composite film:
∎ CMC act as a basic film forming material to give composite film good mechanical strength, transparency, heat sealability, printability, gas barrier property and water resistance and to satisfy the requirements on different food packages.
∎ Lengthen the freshness lifetime of fruit and vegetable.
10. Food Grade CMC Application in brown sour milk beverages:
∎ CMC decrease product centrifugal sedimentation rate.
∎ Drop off the segregation phenomenon of whey.
∎ Keep the system stable and lengthen the shelf life.
11. Food Grade CMC Applications in yogurt products:
∎ CMC gives the good thickness and improve the quality, status, taste and stabilize the system.
∎ Prevent the milk serum from separating and improve the structure of yogurt.
∎ CMC act as a powerful in anti-sediment, good thermal stability and acid resistance.
12. Food Grade CMC Application in condiments:
∎ Regulate viscosity, increase solid content, soften texture and give dedicate and smooth taste.
∎ CMC play a role in stable emulsification, improve quality and texture, maximize the effectiveness for the colour, smell and taste of condiments and lengthen the shelf life.
