1.Thickening:
CMC can produce high viscosity at low concentration. It also acts as lubricant.
2.Water retention: CMC is a water binder, helps increase shelf life of food.
3.Suspending aid: CMC acts as emulsifier and suspension stabilizer, particularly in icings to control ice crystal size.
4.Film forming: CMC can produce a film on the surface of fried food, eg. instant noodle, and prevent absorption of excessive vegetable oil.
5.Chemical stability: CMC is resistant to heat, light, mold and commonly used chemicals.
6.Physiologically inert: CMC as a food additive has no caloric value and can not be metabolized.
7.Odorless, tasteless, non-toxic.
