The properties of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and its use in food
Edible CMC has thickening, emulsification, molding, puffed and fresh-keeping functions, can replace gelatin, agar, sodium alginate gel food. Adding edible CMC can reduce the cost of food production, improve food grade, improve taste, prolong shelf life. It is a food additive often used by food R & D personnel. CMC is widely used in various solid food, liquid beverage, lactic acid beverage, canned food, confectionery, pastries, meats, biscuits, instant noodles, noodles, snacks, snack foods and frozen yogurt, soy milk, peanut butter, tea, fruit juice and other foods.
Liquid Beverage
CMC is suitable for liquid beverages, which can be suspended evenly in containers, brightly colored, eye-catching, can prolong the storage period. The amount of adding is about 3 ~ 4 times times the total amount of solid solution, the total amount of aqueous solution.
2. Lactic acid milk, acid drink
Acidic CMC can play a stable role, can prevent sediment stratification, improve flavor, improve quality, high temperature and other characteristics. Good stability, not easy to produce precipitation; can prolong product shelf time; acid resistance, ph value in 2 ~ 4 range, can improve the taste of beverages, the entrance smoothly. Usage is about 4 ~ 5/1000.
Soybean milk
CMC can be used in soybean milk for suspension, emulsification and stabilization. Can prevent the fat floating and sinking, the effect of soy milk whitening good, increase the sweetness, eliminating beans flavor. Use will increase the total amount of 5 per thousand.
Ice cream
CMC for ice cream, can form a good molding, not easy to break; Keep ice crystal, tongue smooth feeling; luster, beautiful small ice, melting, lubrication delicate flavor and color whitening, improve the original volume of quality, improve the effect. Use will increase the total amount of 5 per thousand.
Bread and pasta
CMC in the production of bread application, bread, volume increase and reduce cell uniformity residues, will not collapse, as well as insulation, preservation effect. CMC used in instant noodles, roll production, can improve the toughness of noodles, maintain length, withstand cooking, make the flavor lubrication delicate. At the same time the mixing scroll, strong viscosity, water retention, and moisture, stirring easy; steam heating produces a protective layer of film, gloss smooth, smooth surface, easy processing; can improve the strength of the surface quality, not easy to break in the packaging process; good taste, open blisters do not stick. In addition, it can be used for instant noodle production of medicinal oils, reduce costs, increase efficiency. Use will increase the total amount of 5 per thousand.
Other ways of CMC
CMC can also be used in wine production, can make wine taste mellow, and aging more perfect, taste more mellow, fragrance leisurely, taste leisurely; it has a stable performance, so it can be used in beer foam stabilizer, adding CMC to the beer bubble can make it fully lasting and improve the palate. CMC can also be used for fruits, vegetables, tea and other fresh. Using carboxyl benzoate containing 2 ~ 3%CMC solution, fruits and vegetables, eggs, coated, dried, preserved flavor, mildew, have the effect of preservation;
In addition, CMC also has improved physical properties of food, such as adding in jam, butter and other foods, can improve the smear; it can also be used as powder, oil, spices and other solid agents. Food-grade CMC can also be used for fruit juice, juice, beverages, soy sauce, jelly, jam and other food production, and can choose the appropriate products according to the nature of CMC food grade products
