A glycolic acid ether of cellulose which appears under the form of a white, odorless, bulky solid, is made by the action of chloroacetic acid and alkali on sulfite wood pulp, is used in pharmacy as a stabilizer, an emulsifier, a thickener, in drilling fluids to combat contamination from anhydrite (gypsum) and to lower the water loss of the mud, in adhesives, in the manufacture of paper, in cosmetics and in confectionery. 8, record 1, English, - carboxymethyl%20cellulose

Carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) is a modified cellulose gum (cellulose is also known as plant fiber). In foods, it is used as a stabilizer, thickener, film former, suspending agent and ... applications include ice cream, dressings, pies, sauces and puddings. ... In supplements, it functions as a binder and/or helps tablets disintegrate during digestion. 4, record 1, English, - carboxymethyl%20cellulose
