Common Questions
FAQs - Food Grade CMC Cellulose Gum
Controls ice crystal growth preventing coarse texture while stabilizing air incorporation for smoother mouthfeel. Maintains shape retention during temperature fluctuations reducing heat shock damage throughout distribution significantly.
Typical usage ranges from 0.3-0.8% providing structure and moisture retention replacing gluten functionality effectively. Higher concentrations create tender crumb while preventing staling in bread and cake formulations.
Forms protective colloid around proteins preventing aggregation at isoelectric pH maintaining beverage clarity. Effective at 0.1-0.3% concentration for acidified dairy drinks and plant-based protein beverages consistently.
Demonstrates excellent synergy with guar gum and xanthan creating enhanced viscosity and gel strength. Combinations provide improved texture and stability at lower total hydrocolloid usage levels economically.
Disperse into vortex of rapidly agitating water preventing lump formation through gradual addition methods. Complete hydration occurs within 20-30 minutes at ambient temperature achieving maximum viscosity development.
Store below 25°C in original moisture-proof packaging maintaining relative humidity under 65% conditions. Properly stored material retains specifications for 36 months without significant viscosity loss occurring.
Standard grades meet conventional food requirements while specialized organic-compliant processing available upon request. Natural cellulose origin supports clean label initiatives though synthetic modification limits organic certification.
