E466, Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, CMC, 9004-32-4

E466, Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose, CMC, 9004-32-4

CAS Number: 9004-32-4

Carboxy Methyl Cellulose is Food Grade: 5000 cps high viscosity.

Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose Chemical formula: C6H7O2(OH)2OCH2COO2

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) E code is (E 466).

Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose is white powder color.

It has a fibrous appearance. The purpose of use in foods is to increase consistency. Low viscosity products are sold in the market at cheap prices. When you buy cheap products, you add more product to your formula and the product costs you more.
Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) They are soluble in hot and cold water. While the natural pH of CMC is 8.25, it is commercially produced at pH 6-7.5 for better solubility. (Alfasol CMC 1% is pH 7.30)

As the pH of the product is lowered, its solubility also decreases and it becomes insoluble in water at pH 4 and below 4.
