Carboxymethyl cellulose - Cmc - 250 GR

Its dosage is very important, thanks to its high power thickener is contained in minimal quantities in various products from oven, fruit juices, jams, sauces, in packaged ice creams, in vegetable drinks, wines and sweets. DOSAGE: 0,2 - 1% Stabilizer in emulsions | 1% - 3% Aqueous gels FORMAT: 250gr FIELDS OF USE: food. -- TECHNICAL CHARACTERISTICS: carboxymethylcellulose, or CMC, is a polymer. A sodium salt, chemically derived from natural strains of vegetable cellulose fibers (from plants and wood). In the food sector it is used as a thickener, anti agglomerating, stabilizing, emulsifying, gelling agent and fibre. IS soluble in cold and hot water and is stable in a ph range from 5 to 10. In addition to having a good compatibility towards alcohol, in low concentration dispersions it can add up to 40%. Retards the growth of sugar crystals in ice cream and plays the function of preservative in some products. ICE CREAM: carboxymethylcellulose is also widely used in ice cream shop. Improves the emulsion and guarantees the creation of silky, shiny and very creamy textures. Its use is often combined with other hydrocolloids such as carob, guar and alginates. In association with carrageenan counteracts the precipitation of milk's proteins. The CMC is therefore useful both in preparation of milk-based and fruit-based ice creams. PASTRY: allows you to create preparations with multiple degrees of viscosity. It allows to obtain glossy and transparent compounds that they also make it functional in the production of glazes. When adds the CMC to the sugar paste and here it is created, too at home, moldable rubber, similar to what is possible find on the market. CURIOSITY: the carboxymethylcellulose useful for the creation of food glue, which allows you to easily attach the various parts of 3D characters or the petals of a flower. Useful in colors ceramic overglaze.
