Ticalose® CMC 6000 F is a high viscosity fine mesh sodium carboxymethylcellulose derived from cellulose. It is soluble in both cold or hot water, stable over a pH range of 4.0-10.0, and compatible with a wide range of other food ingredients, such as proteins, sugars, and other hydrocolloids. It controls texture and ice crystal growth in frozen dairy products. It also retains moisture, making it a valuable asset in many bakery applications and low calorie formulations.
