CMC/Carboxymethyl Cellulose
Cellulose gum, or sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (sodium CMC), is a multi-functional ingredient that can be used as a thickener, binder, emulsifier and stabilizer in food with the European food additive number E466.
Together with xanthan gum, they're the most used and common thickener among others in food applications.
Commonly we call CMC (used in food) is its salt, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose or sodium CMC instead of carboxymethyl cellulose itself. Due to the poor water solubility of CMC, it is usually made into its sodium salt in order to be better use it.
Cellulose gum is often used in foods and beverages to make foods thick and creamy to attract the appetite of customers. It thickens and stabilizes a lot of foods by retaining moisture, keeping oil and water phased ingredients don't separate and produces a consistent texture and so on.
