CMC for Food & Beverages

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) is an important ingredient in the food and beverage industry, known for its thickening, stabilising, and water-binding properties. It helps maintain the desired texture and viscosity in products such as sauces, dressings, and beverages, while also preventing separation in dairy and baked goods. By improving product consistency, shelf life, and stability, CMC ensures reliable performance for manufacturers, enhancing the overall quality and appeal of food products.

Storage Conditions

Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC) should be stored in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture to maintain its quality and performance. It is recommended to keep the product in its original, sealed packaging to prevent contamination and exposure to humidity.
For optimal shelf life, CMC should be stored at temperatures below 30°C (86°F) with a relative humidity of less than 70%. Under proper storage conditions, the shelf life is up to 24 months from the date of production.
Avoid stacking heavy loads on top of CMC packaging to prevent damage to the bags and ensure easy handling during transportation and usage.

Texture Enhancement: CMC acts as a stabilizer and thickener, improving the texture and mouthfeel of products like ice cream, yogurt, and sauces.
Shelf-Life Extension: It prevents syneresis (water separation) in products, maintaining consistency and freshness over time.
Calorie Reduction: As a non-caloric ingredient, CMC is an excellent fat or sugar substitute, enabling the production of low-calorie food and beverages.
