I-sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) kanye ne-xanthan gum kokubili kuvame ukusetshenziswa njengama-ejenti okuqina kanye nezinzisi ezimbonini ezihlukahlukene. Nokho, kukhona umehluko phakathi kwalokhu okubili:

1. Ukwakheka kwamakhemikhali: I-CMC iphuma ku-cellulose, kuyilapho i-xanthan gum iyi-polysaccharide etholakala ekuvutshelweni kwebhaktheriya ebizwa ngokuthi i-Xanthomonas campestris.
2. Ukunyibilika: I-CMC iyancibilika emanzini abandayo, kuyilapho i-xanthan gum incibilika kuwo womabili amanzi ashisayo nabandayo.
3. I-Viscosity: I-CMC ine-viscosity ephakeme kune-xanthan gum, okusho ukuthi ijiya uketshezi ngempumelelo kakhulu.
4. I-Synergy: I-CMC ingasebenza ngokubambisana namanye ama-thickeners, kanti i-xanthan gum ijwayele ukusebenza kangcono iyodwa.
5. Izakhiwo zezinzwa: I-Xanthan gum inomlomo oshelelayo noma oshelelayo, kuyilapho i-CMC inokwakheka okubushelelezi nokucwebezelayo.

Sekukonke, kokubili i-CMC ne-xanthan gum zingama-thickeners nezinzinzisi ezisebenzayo, kodwa zinezakhiwo ezihlukene futhi zisetshenziswa ezinhlelweni ezihlukene. I-CMC ivamise ukusetshenziswa ekudleni, kwezemithi, nasezintweni zokugcoba, kuyilapho i-xanthan gum ivamise ukusetshenziswa ekudleni nasemikhiqizweni yokunakekela komuntu siqu.
