Sodium carboxymethyl starch (CMS-Na) is a modified starch commonly used as a food additive. It serves several purposes in food production, including:
Thickening Agent: CMS-Na increases the viscosity of food products without significantly altering their flavor. This is particularly useful in soups, sauces, and gravies.
Stabilizer: It helps stabilize emulsions, ensuring that oil and water-based components do not separate in products like dressings, mayonnaise, and ice cream.
Water Retention: In processed foods like baked goods, CMS-Na helps retain moisture, improving texture and extending shelf life.
Fat Replacement: It can be used in low-fat or reduced-fat foods to mimic the mouthfeel and texture of fat, providing a creamier consistency in dairy alternatives and sauces.
Binder: CMS-Na is also used as a binder in food items like meat products, where it helps hold ingredients together, improving the structure of the final product.
