So, what is carboxyméthylcellulose de sodium?
Carboxyméthylcellulose de sodium, also known as CMC, is a versatile food ingredient that is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a wide range of food products. It is derived from cellulose, a natural polymer found in plants, and is highly soluble in water, making it an ideal ingredient for use in beverages, sauces, and dressings. CMC also has the ability to form gels and enhance the texture of foods, giving them a smooth and creamy mouthfeel. Additionally, it is a low-calorie and low-fat ingredient, making it a popular choice for health-conscious consumers.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
