Cellulose Gum (Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose ko CMC)

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) wani nau'i ne na danko na cellulose wanda aka fi amfani dashi azaman ƙari na abinci, wakili mai kauri, stabilizer, da emulsifier. An samo shi daga cellulose, wanda shine polymer na halitta wanda aka samo a cikin ganuwar tantanin halitta. Ana samar da CMC ta hanyar kula da cellulose tare da sodium hydroxide da monochloroacetic acid, wanda ya maye gurbin wasu ƙungiyoyin hydroxyl a kan kwayoyin cellulose tare da ƙungiyoyin carboxymethyl.

A cikin aikace-aikacen abinci, ana amfani da CMC a matsayin mai kauri da ƙarfafawa a cikin samfura kamar ice cream, miya na salati, da kayan gasa. Ana kuma amfani da shi a wasu aikace-aikacen da ba abinci ba, kamar a cikin man goge baki, a matsayin mai ɗaure a cikin allunan, da kuma azaman murfin takarda.

Cibiyar Abinci da Magunguna ta Amurka (FDA) ta amince da CMC gabaɗaya a matsayin mai aminci (GRAS), kuma an amince da ita don amfani da abinci da sauran kayayyaki a ƙasashe da yawa na duniya. Duk da haka, wasu mutane na iya samun rashin lafiyar CMC, kuma yana da muhimmanci a duba alamun kayan aiki kuma a tuntuɓi likita idan akwai damuwa.

Gabaɗaya, CMC ƙari ne da ake amfani da shi sosai kuma amintaccen abinci wanda ke taimakawa haɓaka rubutu, daidaito, da kwanciyar hankali na yawancin samfuran abinci gama gari.
