The food additive behind deliciousness-Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose（CMC）

As time goes by, delicious food is essential. Alcoholic beverages, beverages, bread and pastries, ice cream, yogurt, etc. have become important pleasures for us to enjoy life.

Behind this, the importance of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose（CMC）as a key food additive is becoming increasingly prominent.

Firstly, CMC reduces the surface tension between fat and water, achieving fat emulsification and preventing oil-water separation, which is crucial for the stability of dairy beverages and yogurt. At the same time, it thickens in ice cream and jelly, improving delicacy and texture.

Secondly, CMC has excellent water retention properties, which can adsorb and retain moisture in food, reduce water loss, and make baked goods softer and more delicious.

In addition, CMC can form a protective film on the surface of food to prevent contamination or oxidation from the external environment, maintaining the color and taste of the food.
