cellulose gum in the production of ice pop gives the product favorable organoleptic and rheological characteristics such as control over the formation of ice crystals, increased resistance to melting (melting) and improves palatability, achieving a product finish that exceeds expectations in terms of body, flavor, texture and resistance to the environment.

Function

Carboxymethyl cellulose can provide different functionality depending on its degree and uniformity of substitution by sodium ions, chain length and cellulose backbone. For example, CMC with uniform substitution is known for smooth flow properties and works well in frostings. CMC with non-uniform substitution is known to be thixotropic, forms a stable gel that becomes more fluid when agitated and reforms to a gel over time. Non-uniform substituted CMC works well in fillings or sauces.²

The degree of substitution (D.S.) for sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be up to 3, but for food application the D.S. is typically between 0.6-0.95.³

Commercial Production

CMC is derived from cellulose, the linear glucose based polymer found in plant material. Producing CMC is a two step process. In the first step, cellulose is suspended in an alkaline solution which opens the cellulose chains and allows water to enter. When this happens, the cellulose can react with sodium monochloroacetate and yield sodium carboxymethyl cellulose.²

Application

Some baked good applications where carboxymethyl cellulose finds use include:

• Frozen dough: As a 0.5% replacement for wheat flour and with a D.S. of 1.1, CMC weakens the influence of frozen treatment on the gluten starch structure of the dough.³
• Tortillas: CMC is added to tortillas for shelf life extension and to maintain a pliable texture.
• Gluten free bread and cakes: Improves the internal structure like gluten proteins and helps with moisture retention and mouthfeel.
• Fried doughs: At the level of 0.35%, CMC can reduce oil absorption and improve the texture of fried products.⁴
• Cookies: CMC functions as a release aid and spread controller.⁴
