A highly purified stabilizer with thickening properties for a range of neutral and low-pH applications
Cellulose gum, also known as CMC or carboxy-methylcellulose, is a food ingredient derived from cellulose, the most abundant organic compound on earth.
Cellulose is found in the cell walls of all plants and is typically the biggest source of insoluble fiber in fruits and vegetables. Cellulose gum is often used in foods and beverages to create texture and improve mouthfeel, as well as to retain moisture and stabilize recipes.
We’re a global leader in cellulose gum and other cellulose derivatives such as methylcellulose and hydroxypropyl-methylcellulose. Our products have helped enable some of the most popular food trends with flexitarian, plant-based and gluten-free recipes.
