Calcium carboxymethyl cellulose Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

It is obtained by adding calcium hydroxide to the aqueous solution of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose and making it precipitate.

Uses

Thickener; binder; non-sticky dispersant; disintegrant. The maximum amount prescribed by Japan is 2% (total amount when used alone or in combination). It is used for soup powder molding. When it dissolves, it swells due to water to promote disintegration and dispersion. For cocoa powder, instant coffee, powdered soft drinks and other solid and powdered foods, it has the effect of promoting dispersion and dissolution in water. Adding 1% to 2% to chocolate biscuits is not easy to stick teeth and improve the taste. This product absorbs water and swells, and will not be digested and absorbed after taking people. It has a sense of fullness and can be used as a weight-adjusting food.

Drug Function and Efficacy

It can inhibit the excessive secretion of intestinal fluid. It promotes the absorption of intestinal fluid, reduces the amount of water in the intestine, and thus reduces the water content of the stool, which prevents diarrhea. It can inhibit intestinal peristalsis, thus preventing diarrhea caused by hypermotility of the intestine. It can effectively inhibit the Vero toxin produced by O157 Escherichia coli and the damage to intestinal mucosal epithelial cells caused by it.

This ingredient has been used in drugs with the following functions (note: it does not mean that the ingredient itself has the following health functions)
