carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) moleculeMost processed food products contain carboxymethyl cellulose gum, also known as CMC (-CH2-COOH).  CMC is  commonly used  as a viscosity modifier or thickener, and to stabilize emulsions in products such as ice cream, yogurt and milk.  CMCs also control crystallization, moisture retention and fat uptake to give food producers the best possible composition and results for their products.

It is also a constituent of some of the popular beverages and syrups, frozen doughs, salad dressing, processed cheese products, meat products, concentrate juices, squashes and beverages.AkzoNobel logo
