So, what is natriumcarboxymethylcellulose?
Natriumcarboxymethylcellulose (NaCMC) is a versatile food ingredient derived from cellulose, which is commonly found in plant cell walls. It is a white to off-white powder that is highly soluble in water, forming a clear viscous solution. NaCMC is commonly used as a thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier in a variety of processed foods, including baked goods, dairy products, and sauces. It can also improve texture, prevent syneresis, and enhance mouthfeel. Despite its synthetic origin, NaCMC is generally considered safe for consumption and is approved for use in many countries around the world.
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.
