How to use Carboxymethyl Cellulose

Mix sodium carboxymethyl cellulose directly with water to make a pasty glue for later use. When preparing sodium carboxymethyl cellulose paste glue, first add a certain amount of clean water into the batching tank with mixing equipment, and sprinkle sodium carboxymethyl cellulose slowly and evenly on the mixing equipment In the batching tank, keep stirring to make the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and water completely blend, and the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose can be fully dissolved. The basis for determining the mixing time is: when the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is uniformly dispersed in water and there is no significant large agglomerate, the stirring can be stopped, and the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and water are allowed to stand still. Infiltrate each other and blend with each other.

Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is first mixed with dry raw materials such as white sugar, and then put into water to dissolve. During operation, put sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and dry raw materials such as white sugar in a certain proportion in a stainless steel mixer, close the top cover of the mixer, and keep the materials in the mixer in a sealed state. Then, turn on the mixer and fully mix the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and other materials. Then, slowly and evenly sprinkle the stirred sodium carboxymethylcellulose mixture into the batching tank filled with water, and keep stirring.

When using sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in liquid or slurry food, it is best to homogenize the mixed material in order to obtain a more delicate arrangement and stabilization effect. The pressure and temperature selected for homogenization should be determined according to the characteristics of the material and the quality requirements of the product.

After the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is formulated into an aqueous solution, it is best stored in ceramic, glass, plastic, wooden and other types of containers. Metal containers, especially iron, aluminum, and copper containers, are not suitable for storage. Because if the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solution is in contact with the metal container for a long time, it is easy to cause problems of deterioration and viscosity drop. When the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solution coexists with lead, iron, tin, silver, aluminum, copper and certain metal substances, a deposition reaction will occur, reducing the actual quantity and quality of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in the solution. If it is not required for production, try not to mix calcium, magnesium, salt and other substances in the aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose. Because, when the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solution coexists with substances such as calcium, magnesium, and salt, the viscosity of the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose solution will be reduced.

The prepared aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethylcellulose should be used up as soon as possible. If the sodium carboxymethyl cellulose aqueous solution is stored for a long time, it will not only affect the adhesive performance and stability of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, but also be damaged by microorganisms and pests, thus affecting the cleaning quality of raw materials. However, some thickeners are dextrins and modified starches produced by starch hydrolysis. They are non-toxic and harmless, but they are easy to raise blood sugar like white sugar, and may even cause more severe blood sugar reactions. Therefore, before purchasing sugar-free products, you must read the ingredient list clearly to prevent the impact of thickeners on blood sugar
