Can Food-grade CMC Provide Benefits to Humans?

Food scientists have found that the use of small doses of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can increase the stability and strong consistency of beverages and foods. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is the most versatile and used cellulose in the world today. It has many applications in many fields.

Cellulose gum is essentially a thickening agent used in a variety of foods. Many diet and low-fat products will use food additives such as cellulose gum to make foods thicker and creamier, making them more appealing to consumers.

According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest (CSPI), this type of additive can improve texture, stabilize foam, prevent sugar crystallization, bind water and more. For these reasons, cellulose gums are often used in a variety of foods

Recently revised European legislation allows for DS in CMC for food up to 1.5, with good clarity and stability of the solution. Food grade requires a purity of 98.5% or more of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, so the sodium content is also washed to very low levels by alcohol.

 

 

The application of CMC in food is not only a good emulsion stabilizer and thickener, but also has excellent freezing and thawing stability, enhancing product flavor and extending storage time. The content in soy milk, ice cream, gelato, jelly, beverage, canned food is about 1%~1.5%. CMC can form stable emulsion dispersion with vinegar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, juice, meat juice, vegetable juice, 0.2%~0.5%. Especially, it has excellent emulsification performance for animal and vegetable fats, proteins and water-based, forming stable homogeneous emulsion. Please follow TANGPENG website to see more.

 

Benefits

Cellulose gum comes from the cell walls of plants such as wood pulp and cottonseed and is used to make thick and creamy foods that are free of all fat. If you want to reduce your fat intake or eat a low-fat diet, choosing foods made with additives such as cellulose gum can help you feel less deprived.

It may help suppress appetite. Because it can act as a filler for food, it has the potential to make you feel full. That's another reason cellulose gum is often found in diet foods! However, if you eat too many fiber-rich gum foods, you may experience irregular bowel movements. Some people even use it as a laxative for weight loss.

Cellulose gum is versatile. It is not only found in a variety of foods, but also in toothpaste, medicines and even household products. It is a very useful additive as a stabilizer and thickener.

 

Knowledge is power. The more you read food labels, especially the Nutrition Facts and Ingredients lists, the more empowered you will be to determine how much of the food additive you are consuming. From there, you can make informed decisions about any food changes you want to make to adopt healthier habits.
