Enzymatically-Hydrolyzed Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium
Sodium salts of polymers containing substituted anhydroglucose units with the general
formula:
[C6H7O2(OH)x(OCH2COONa)y]n where n is the degree of polymerization;
y is the degree of substitution;
x is between 1.50 and 2.80;
y is between 0.20 and 1.50;
and x + y = 3.0

DEFINITION
Enzymatically-Hydrolyzed Carboxymethylcellulose Sodium is the sodium salt of a polycarboxymethyl ether of cellulose, which has been partially hydrolyzed by enzymatic treatment with food grade Trichoderma reesei cellulase. Its degree of substitution is NLT 0.20 and NMT 1.50, corresponding to a sodium (Na) content of NLT 2.6% and NMT 12.2%, calculated on the dried basis.
