•Worlds most abundant naturally occurring organic substance
• Cellulose comes from plants, trees and vegetable matter
• As such, it has always been part of the human diet and a
source of dietary fiber
•In its natural state, cellulose is not soluble in water (chains of
cellulose are very tightly bound to each other by H-bonding)
What is Cellulose?

Cellulose Derivatives for Food
• First cellulosics research work begun in 1920’s in Germany
• Applications in foods (USA) starting in late 1940’s.
• High purity (≥ 95% water-soluble dietary fiber)
• Non-digestible
• Non-fermentable - no gas
o Related to form of 1,4-β-glycosidic bonds between glucose units

Chemistry- Functionality
Different chemistries have differences in physical properties
Dissolution temperature
Gelation Temperature
Gel Strength
Surface Activity
Differences are caused by:
The substituent group (Ratio of methyl/hydroxpropyl groups)
Relative numbers of the groups (Degree of Substitution: DS)
Average chain length of the product (Molecular Weight)

Effect of Temperature •MUST reach set hydration temperatures to become fully functional.
Effect of Concentration
•Viscosity build is not linear
Effect of pH
•Viscosity is stable between pH = 3 and 11
MC & HPMC
Effect of Salt and Sugar: •May delay hydration and hinder viscosity development
•May precipitate MC & HPMC out of solution if too much salt or sugar
• May lower gelation temperature

MC & HPMC – Thermal Gelation – Fat Reduction
In French Fry Coatings:
Most important property is gel strength gel maintains its integrity during frying
o MC has the highest gel strength of the chemistries
o Least surface active
MC will also gel at the lowest temperature
o Ensures film is formed prior to fat being absorbed

already lean beef patty (without adding extra fat)
Formulation
o 88.4% Lean beef (90% fat free)
o 10.0% Cold water (<40F)
o 1.2% Methylcellulose
o 0.4% Salt
Total fat: 10% fat (from meat) (11.3g fat per ¼ lb patty)
Store bought patty = 20% (22.6g fat per ¼ lb patty) = 50% fat reduction

MC & HPMC – Delayed Hydration Technique
Add MC or HPMC to hot system
- MC or HPMC won’t hydrate in hot conditions
- Product (dips/soups/etc) will stay thin during hot HTST or UHT;
thicken upon cooling
• Improves pumpability of hot filled products
• Better efficiency of heat transfer during
processing – lower processing time
• Less burn on

CMC
Effect of Concentration
o Viscosity build is not linear (doubling will increase viscosity 6-10X)
Effect of Heat
o With increasing temperature the viscosity of the CMC solution
decreases (reversible)
o At temperatures above 90C (194 F) all CMC grades are thin flowing.
Effect of Shear
o The higher the shear, the greater the thinning effect.
o Reverses and builds back viscosity after shear is removed
Effect of Salt Concentration
o Viscosity decreases as salt concentration increases
Effect of pH
o Maximum viscosity between pH 6.5 - 8.5
o Viscosity falls on each side of that range

General behavior in the presence of salts:
• Tolerance is limited
• Viscosity decreases with increasing salt levels
• Higher DS CMCs are more stable than lower
The moment of salt (e.g. table salt) addition is important
• Dissolved CMC is more stable against salts than CMC which
is integrated in salt water
• The viscosity development of CMC is suppressed due to salt
water

CMC - Functions in Food
Thickener, Viscosifier (e.g. beverages, soups, dressings, sauces)
Texturizer (e.g. beverages, fruitpreparation)
Improve elasticity and plasticity
(e.g. extruded products, bakery products)
Gives viscosity to aqueous solutions
Improves body and mouthfeel, keeps consistency stable
over storage time
Good machinability / simplified post-processing

82
Waterbinding (e.g. meat products, bakery products)
Crystallisation control (e.g. ice cream, frozen dough products)
Slows down the crystallisation speed, reduced crystal growth/size
Delayed retrogradation of amylose (anti staling agent)
Prevents water loss, suppressed syneresis
Prolonged freshness
Mouthfeel enhancer (e.g. fat-reduced products like fresh cheese
preparations, soups, sauces, beverages)
Simulates a ″fatty″ mouth feel, improved creaminess

Protein protection (e.g. fresh cheese, acidified dairy drinks)
Stabilizer (e.g. soups, dressings, sauces)
″Emulsifier″ (e.g. spreadable cheese, dressings)
CMC protects proteins against the effects of acid and heat
Keeps molecules stable and suspends particles
Stabilizes hydrophilic and lipophilic components,
support of classic emulsifiers

Gelling support (e.g. fresh cheese preps, desserts)
CMC improves the quality of gels and supports
gel-forming hydrocolloids
Foam stabilization
Fixing of foams, constant density, prolonged stand-up
CMC - Functions in Food
Partial replacement of traditional additives Fat and oil
Proteins (Proteins from milk/whey, meat, soy, wheat)
Sugar and lactose

Guar Replacement with CMC
Guar Gum
• Guar provides thickening, texturizing, moisture-binding and freeze-thaw
stability
• 70-80% of guar gum is being used oilfield applications
Gum gum supply short of demand by ~25% in 2012
• Current prices roughly $7/lb
• 1% viscosity = 3500 – 5000 cPs
• CMC is a suitable, cost effective replacement
40,000 or 50,000 viscosity grade – 1:1 replacement
Synergy: 20/80 & 35/65 Guar/CMC offers a 2x viscosity gain vs
expected value

CMC - Incorporation Methods
Procedure Physical Form Recommended Preparation
Granular Type (GA)
Powder Type (PA)
Fine Powder Type (PPA)
Separate Solution
+
–
–
High speed mixer should be used and CMC grades should be added slowly to aqueous solution. The dissolution time is about 30 – 60 minutes.
Dry Blend Mixture
–
+
+
Premix CMC grades with other powder ingredients of the formulation to avoid agglomeration or lumps.
Dispersion in organic solvents
or oil
+
+
+
CMC grades are dispersed in organic solvents/oil. The CMC dispersion is than added to water while stirring
