KimaCell® CMC FG6000 sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is a kind of cellulose derivative. In 1974, the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations and the World Health Organization approved the use of cMc Na as an additive in food. CMc-Na has many functions such as thickening, suspension, emulsification, stability, shaping, film forming, expansion, anti-corrosion, fresh-keeping, acid resistance and health care, and can replace gelatin, agar, sodium alginate and pectin. CMC is usually an anionic macromolecular compound prepared by the reaction of natural cellulose with caustic soda and monochloroacetic acid. The molecular weight of the compound varies from thousands to millions.
