What is CMC & PAC

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is usually made by the reaction of natural cellulose and caustic soda and a chlorine acetic acid made after the production of an anionic polymer.

It is cellulose carboxymethyl ether sodium salt, an anionic cellulose ether, white or milky white fibrous powder or granules. CMC can be widely used in various industries, for example Food, Pharm, Ceramic, Textile, Paint, Paper-making, Detergent etc.

The international community to this new type of modified CMC also known as “polyanionic cellulose (abbreviated PAC)”. PAC is typically used in Oil drilling industry.

THE FUNCTION OF CMC IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Used as an additive in food, CMC has the function of thickening, stabilizing, water retention, emulsifying, shaping, filming, acid-resisting etc. It can replace or mix use with gelatin，xanthan gum, guar gum, agar, sodium alginate in the process of food production.

Using food grade CMC as ingredient can improve the mouthfeel, extend the shelf life of finished products, meanwhile, reduce the production cost.
