Aquacel™ cellulose gum
Odor: odorless
Use: Aquacel cellulose gum is a family of high-purity, sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) products that are tailored to meet the needs of the food market. They offer viscosity in solution, stability and water-binding capabilities. In addition to modifying the behavior of water, cellulose gum is useful in suspending solids and modifying flow and texture.
Ashland
Aqualon™ cellulose gum
Odor: odorless
Use: Aqualon cellulose gum, or sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), is widely used as an economical thickener and stabilizer in foods and beverages. Besides modifying the behavior of water, cellulose gum is useful in suspending solids and modifying the flow and texture. Aqualon cellulose gum has the ability to form strong, oil-resistant films. In beverage concentrates (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and powdered drink mixes, cellulose gum adds pleasant, clean mouthfeel.
Ashland
Aquasorb™ cellulose gum
Odor: odorless
Use: Aquasorb cellulose gum, or sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), is a high-purity, powdered super-absorbent that offers increased bake stability, extended shelf life, freeze/thaw stability and water binding. Besides modifying the behavior of water, cellulose gum is useful in suspending solids and modifying the flow and texture. In beverages, cellulose gum adds a pleasant, clean mouthfeel. In addition, the anionic nature of CMC allows it to interact with the positive charges found on protein in acidic conditions, thus making it an excellent stabilizer for low-pH dairy beverages. CMC is also used in ice cream to control meltdown, add texture and protect against heat shock.
Ashland
Blanose™ cellulose gum
Odor: odorless
Use: Blanose cellulose gum, or sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), is ideal for batter and filling viscosity, crumb softness, increased volume and moisture retention. Besides modifying the behavior of water, cellulose gum is useful in suspending solids and modifying the flow and texture. Blanose cellulose gum has the ability to form strong, oil resistant films. In beverage concentrates (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and powdered drink mixes, cellulose gum adds pleasant, clean mouthfeel.
Ashland
Bondwell™ cellulose gum
Odor: odorless
Use: Bondwell cellulose gum, or sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), is widely used as an economical thickener and stabilizer in foods and beverages. Besides modifying the behavior of water, cellulose gum is useful in suspending solids and modifying the flow and texture. In beverage concentrates (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and powdered drink mixes, cellulose gum adds a pleasant, clean mouthfeel.

Guarcel® 302
Flavor: characteristic
Guarcel® 302 is designed to replace cellulose gum commonly used in products such as instant beverages, hot cocoa mixes and other similar applications where suspension, mouthfeel and rapid hydration are required. Guarcel 302 will also provide a slight “cloud” to the finished product. Guarcel 302 shows protein reactivity when used at the suggested level of 0.15% to 0.25% (based on the finished product weight). Guarcel 302 has a clean flavor profile, a difference from other competing products.
