FAQS on sodium carboxy

Q: What are the main uses of sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC)?

A: Sodium carboxy methyl cellulose is widely used as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and binder in food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics. It also serves as a viscosity modifier in industrial products like detergents and paper coatings.

Q: How is sodium carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC) produced?

A: CMC is synthesized by chemically modifying cellulose with sodium hydroxide and chloroacetic acid. This process introduces carboxymethyl groups, making it water-soluble and functional for diverse applications.

Q: Is sodium carboxy methyl cellulose safe for consumption?

A: Yes, food-grade CMC is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory agencies. It is commonly used in products like ice cream, baked goods, and sauces to improve texture and stability.

Q: What distinguishes sodium carboxy methyl cellulose from other cellulose derivatives?

A: CMC’s carboxymethyl groups provide superior water solubility and ionic compatibility compared to derivatives like methylcellulose. This makes it ideal for applications requiring stable viscosity in varying pH conditions.

Q: Can sodium carboxy methyl cellulose be used in pharmaceuticals?

A: Absolutely. CMC acts as a disintegrant in tablets, a lubricant in ointments, and a suspension agent in liquid medications. Its non-toxic nature and compatibility with active ingredients make it a pharmaceutical staple.
