Fully compliant with FDA and EFSA regulations, it enhances texture, extends shelf life, and improves mouthfeel across a wide range of food products. Its high purity and controlled viscosity make it suitable for acidic and neutral food systems—from beverages and sauces to baked goods and frozen desserts.
Parameter | Specification |
Appearance | White flocculent powder |
Viscosity (1% solution, 25°C) | 10–10,000 cP (classified by application) |
Degree of Substitution (DS) | 0.6–0.9 |
Purity (dry basis) | ≥99.5% |
pH Value (1% solution) | 6.5–8.5 |

≥99.5% purity eliminates off-flavors and ensures adherence to strict global food safety standards.
Maintains consistent viscosity in pH 3.0–7.0 environments, making it ideal for fruit juices, salad dressings, and acidic sauces.
Low viscosity grades (10–100 cP) improve beverage mouthfeel, while high viscosity grades (800–10,000 cP) provide structural support for ice cream, jellies, and fillings.
Prevents ice crystal formation in frozen desserts, extending product shelf life by up to 30%.
Food Grade CMC provides efficient viscosity adjustment, helping food products achieve smooth and uniform texture. It enhances mouthfeel without masking original flavors, making it suitable for premium food formulations.
CMC performs well under various processing conditions, including heating, mixing, and homogenization. It supports stable formulation behavior throughout food production processes.
The product is compatible with common food ingredients and additives, allowing flexible formulation design without adverse interactions or processing complications.
Used to improve viscosity and prevent sedimentation in juice drinks, flavored beverages, and functional drinks. It helps maintain uniform appearance and smooth drinking experience.
Applied in yogurt, flavored milk, and dairy-based beverages to enhance texture and stability. It improves consistency without negatively affecting taste.
Used to improve moisture retention and texture stability in baked goods and processed foods, helping extend shelf life and maintain product quality.
Q: Is Food Grade CMC suitable for low-sugar or sugar-free formulations?
A: Yes, it enhances texture without contributing calories or affecting sweetness, making it ideal for reduced-sugar, sugar-free, and low-calorie products.
Q: What is the recommended dosage of Food Grade CMC in sauces?
A: Typically 0.2–1.0% by weight, adjusted based on the desired thickness and the sauce’s pH level.
Q: Does it affect food taste or flavor?
A:No. When used at recommended levels, it does not alter the original taste or flavor of food products.
Q5 Is the product suitable for export markets?
A:Yes. The product is supplied to international markets and can meet common food industry documentation requirements upon request.
