DESCRIPTION

Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (CMC), Enzymatically Hydrolyzed occurs as a white or slightly yellowish or grayish granular or fibrous powder. It is the odorless and slightly hygroscopic product of the sodium salt of a carboxymethyl ether of cellulose, which has been partially hydrolyzed by enzymatic treatment with food-grade cellulase [Trichoderma longibrachiatum (formerly reesei)]. The total content of mono- and disaccharides is typically about 7.5%. It is soluble in water and insoluble in ether.
