TEXTURECEL™ and CLEAR+STABLE™ are highly-purified cellulose gum. They are also known as CMC, carboxymethylcellulose, or sodium carboxymethylcellulose, and are a food ingredient derived from cellulose, the most abundant organic compound on earth. It is found in the cell walls of all plants and is typically the biggest source of insoluble fiber in fruits and vegetables.

These ingredients have FDA GRAS status and are gluten-free. They are commonly used in food and beverage applications to enhance texture, improve mouthfeel, retain moisture, and stabilize formulations.

The TEXTURECEL™ and CLEAR+STABLE™ ranges offer cellulose gum in a broad viscosity range from very low to extremely high (30 – 60,000 mPas in 2% solution). They also come in various substitution degrees, from low to medium, and in different particle sizes to suit diverse formulation needs.
