Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (SCMC or CMC) or Cellulose Gum is an anionic water soluble polymer. It is derived from cellulose, which is made water soluble by a chemical reaction. The water solubility is achieved by introducing carboxymethyl groups -CH2-COOH along the cellulose chain, which makes hydration of the molecule possible.
The chemical name of SCMC is SODIUM SALT OF CARBOXYMETHYL ETHER OF CELLULOSE.
CAS NUMBER: 9004-32-4.
FUNCTIONS & PROPERTIES
Sodium Carboxy Methyl Cellulose (CMC) has the following functions and properties:
♦ It acts as a thickener, binder, stabilizer, suspending agent and flow controlling agent.
♦ It forms fine films that are resistant to oils, greases, and organic solvents.
♦ It dissolves rapidly in cold water.
♦ Acts as a protective colloid reducing water losses.
♦ It is suitable for use in food systems.
♦ It is physiologically inert.
♦ It is an anionic polyelectrolyte.
