Probably a stabilizer, to help bind everything together to aid rising (cost cutting; that way less mixture is needed per cake).

Sodium carboxymethylcellulose Molecular weight?

This is a chemical used in many products like detergents, tooth pastes, shampoos, conditioners, ice cream, pharmaceuticals, water based paints, and many more.. It is manafactured by treating cellulose with NaOH and chloro acetic acid. In this process the -OH groups of the cellulose ring are replaced by -CH2COONa groups


Which is the best viscosity agent Sodium Carboxy methyl cellulose or Calcium Carboxy methyl cellulose?

Sodium Carboxymethyl cellulose will be better viscosifier as compared to calcium carboxymethyl celluose.Since during washing process sodium chloride will be removed as impurities therefore leading to pure Na CMC with viscosity depending upon the molecular weight of wood pulp or cotton linter.

Is Stabiliser 415 gluten free?

Stabiliser 466 is carboxymethyl cellulose, made from wood. It does not contain gluten. It is fermented in the large intestine and can cause large amounts of excess gas, which can cause a lot of abdominal pain. Possibly this could be mistaken for a gluten reaction.


What is the difference between carboxymethyl cellulose and hydroxypropylmethylcellulose?

Carboxymethyl cellulose, or CMC, is a cellulose derivative with carboxymethyl groups (-CH2-COOH) bound to some of the hydroxyl groups of the glucopyranose monomers that make up the cellulose backbone.It is synthesized by the alkali-catalyzed reaction of cellulose with chloroacetic acid. The polar (organic acid) carboxyl groups render the cellulose soluble and chemically reactive. The functional properties of CMC depend on the degree of substitution of the cellulose structure (i.e., how many of the hydroxyl groups have taken part in the substitution reaction), as well as the chain length of the cellulose backbone structure.CMC is used in food science as a viscosity modifier or thickener, and to stabilize emulsions, for instance in ice cream. It has E number E466. It is also a constituent of many non-food products, such as K-Y Jelly, toothpaste, laxatives, diet pills, water-based paints, detergents, and various paper products. They have high viscosity, are not toxic, and are generally non-allergenic. CMC is used as a lubricant in non-volatile eye drops (artificial tears). Sometimes it is methylcellulose (MC) which is used, but its non-polar methyl groups (-CH3) do not add any solubility or chemical reactivity to the base cellulose.Carboxymethylcellulose is an acid.
