Blanose™ cellulose gum, or sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), from Ashland is widely used as a cost-effective thickener and stabilizer in food and beverage applications. In addition to modifying the behavior of water, cellulose gum is also useful in modifying flow, adding texture and enhancing mouthfeel.

Blanose™ cellulose gum is available in a wide range of grades with different viscosities, molecular weights, degrees of substitution and particle sizes.  Products can also be customized to meet specific applications.
