CMC Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

cmc powder is widely used in ice cream industry. It is used to make ice creams without churning mechanism or extreme low temperatures thereby eliminating the need of the conventional churners or salt ice mixes. Cmc is used in bakery products like breads and cake preparation. The use of cmc gives loaf a much improved quality at a reduced cost to the baker economizing on the fat component. Cmc is also used as an emulsifier in producing high quality biscuits. Due to cmc, fat disperses uniformly in the dough and hence cmc improves the release of the dough from the moulds and cutters to achieve well-shaped biscuits without any distorted edges. It can help to reduce consumption of egg yolk or fat used in making biscuits, thus achieving economy. Use of cmc in candy preparation ensures smooth dispersion in flavour oils, improves texture & quality. They are used in chewing gums, margarines and peanut butter as emulsifier.
