Applications and Uses of Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC, E466) is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups. It is often used as its sodium salt, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC, E466) can be used in Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Health & Personal care products, Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC, E466) is used in food as a viscosity modifier or thickener, and to stabilize emulsions in various products. Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose(CMC, E466) is also used in toothpaste, laxatives, diet pills,water-based paints, detergents, textile sizing, and various paper products.

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose(CMC, E466) appears as a white to cream colored powder, and has a viscosity of approximately 1000-10000 mPa.s. It is used as a viscosity modifier and thickener to stabilize emulsions in products like ice cream and dairy products. It is also used to achieve tartrate or cold stability in wine.

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose1

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC, E466) functions in the food industry:

CMC has the functions of thickening, suspending, emulsifying, stabilizing, shaping, filming, bulking, anti-corrosion, retaining freshness, acid-resisting, health protecting, etc. It can replace the application of guar gum, gelatin, agar, sodium alginate, and pectin. It is widely used in modern food industry, such as frozen food, solid drink, fruit juice, jam, lactic acid drinks, condiment, biscuit, instant noodles, bakery products, meat products, etc.

1. Thickening: CMC E466 can produce high viscosity at low concentration. It also acts as lubricant.
2. Water retention: CMC E466 is a water binder, helps increase shelf life of food.
3. Suspending aid: CMCE 466 acts as emulsifier and suspension stabilizer, particularly in icings to control ice crystal size.

Jams and marmalades with a soluble solid content of at least 55% are the classic applications for high methyl pectin which guarantee excellent flavour release, low syneresis and fruity-sweet taste. High methyl pectin is the choice for recommended filling temperatures between 65 – 85°C. High methyl pectin E440 is a sensible alternative when gel transparency or colour of the pectin may influence the appearance of the finished product.

Pectin used in Confectionery:

The solid content of confectionery products, which is normally bet-ween 70% – 80%, together with a high acidity, can cause rapid or even an uncontrollable gelling speed if the wrong type of pectin is used.

Apple and citrus pectin contain different well balanced buffer systems to provide con-sistent setting properties and consistent gelling strength.

Special Pectin E440 are also available for extra low filling temperature.

Low methyl pectin E440 is recommended for fruit spreads with soluble content lower than 55%.

Pectin used in Dairy:

High methyl pectinE440 can stabilize acid protein systems by forming protective layers around the protein particles. This protein protection prevents serum or phase separation and casein aggregation at low pH values.

PectinE440 can also increase the viscosity and thus increase mouth feel and taste to acidified dairy beverages like drinkable yoghurts, fruit containing milks or fruit flavoured protein drinks. Fruit and milk are a refreshing combination that is perfect for a healthy and natural diet; Pectin is the combining element between.

Pectin used in Beverage:

PectinE440 in beverage applications cover many functions including cloud stabilisation, increasing mouthfeel and boosting soluble fibre.

For cloud stabilisation in fruit juice drinks and for adding a natural mouthfeel to low calorie fruit beverages, we recommend our range of viscosity standardised HM pectin types. They are standardised to constant physical and rheological properties and are available in different viscosities from apple and citrus origin.

In applications where you want to increase soluble fibre content, you have the choice of different low viscosity pectin types.

Pectin used in Bakery:

A shiny and attractive finish on all sorts of pastry and desserts or a smooth and tasty fruit filling is giving bakery products the special character. Pectins have functional properties which are optimal for these applications..

Glazes seal the surface and act at the same time as a flavour enhancer, colour and freshness preserver. For effective use, glazes must be fully transparent, easy to apply and have to have constant rheological properties.

 

LMA PECTIN E440 is low methyl amidated pectins and they are less calcium sensitive and require generally less calcium for optimal gelling. Even the fruit containing calcium or water containing calcium can be sufficient for optimal gelling conditions. LMA pectins are to a large extent very tolerant towards the calcium concentration for building up an optimal gel network. These pectins result in very smooth and elastic gel structures. Additional calcium normally is only needed if soluble solid content is lower than 40%. LMA are the only pectins which produce thermo reversible gels.

HM pectins E440 is high methyl composed of more than 50% of esterified galacturonic acid units. We offer a broad range of different DE from 50% to 78%. HM pectins are standardised either to specific setting temperatures, viscosities, calcium reactivity, protein stabilising capacity or specific buffer capacity. More information about these pectin types can also be found in our detailed application brochures.

Applications and Uses of Locust Bean Gum

Locust Bean Gum E410 can be used in Food, Beverage, Pharmaceutical, Health & Personal care products, Agriculture/Animal Feed/Poultry. Locust Bean Gum Powder is used in food products as moisture control, viscous agent, stabilizer, thickening agent and to improve elasticity. Locust Bean Gum is used to thicken products such as in ice creams, baby foods, desserts and fruit extract syrups. Locust Bean Gum E410 Powder is often used as a substitute for cocoa in specialty food items made for diet conscious and diabetic end users.

When Locust Bean Gum E410 combined with xanthan gum, it creates a thin, yet elastic gel. When combined with small amounts of kappa carrageenan or agar agar, it will strengthen and create a more elastic gel.

Locust Bean Gum E410 uses as follows:
