Product introduction
Sodium carboxymethyl β -glucan is an immunomodulatory glucan derivative, which is obtained by carboxymethylation of glucan in yeast cell wall. Sodium carboxymethyl β-glucan, also known as carboxymethyl glucan, is a carboxymethylated derivative of yeast glucose, which generally exists in the form of its sodium salt. Widely found in cereals, bacteria and fungi.
Yeast glucan is a natural polysaccharide, which widely exists in grains, bacteria and fungi. Glucan extracted from cereals is composed of β-1,4(1,3)- glycosidic bonds, while glucan from yeast is β-1,3(1,6)- glucan. It has been proved that yeast glucan is an effective immune system regulator, which can activate the ability of immune cells such as macrophages and neutrophils and stimulate the non-specific defense mechanism of the host.
Carboxymethyl dextran sodium is deeply processed on the basis of high-purity yeast glucan through modern biotechnology, which has good water solubility, well solves the problem that yeast glucan is insoluble in water, and further expands the application field of yeast glucan, especially in the field of cosmetics.
Preparation process
Raw material preparation: firstly, cellulose needs to be prepared as raw material. Common sources include wood pulp, cotton fiber and flax fiber.
Alkalization treatment: cellulose is mixed with a certain concentration of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution and reacted at high temperature to make cellulose undergo alkalization reaction. This step aims to convert the hydroxyl group in cellulose into hydroxyethyl cellulose.
Carboxymethylation: Alkalized cellulose reacts with carboxylic acid compounds such as chloroacetic anhydride or monochloroacetic acid. This reaction will introduce carboxymethyl into the cellulose structure to obtain carboxymethylated cellulose.
Acidification: Acidify the carboxymethylated cellulose with dilute acid to neutralize the alkalinity in the solution. Commonly used acidulants include sulfuric acid (H2SO4) or hydrochloric acid (HCl). This step aims to remove unreacted alkaline substances.
Washing and neutralization: the acidified product is fully washed with water to remove acid and impurities. Subsequently, sodium carbonate or other alkaline substances are used for neutralization treatment, so that the pH value reaches the required range.
Concentration and drying: the neutralized mixture can be concentrated by vacuum concentration or other appropriate methods. Finally, the finished product of CMC sodium was obtained by drying.
Function
Thickener: CMC sodium can form a thick colloid in aqueous solution, so it is widely used as a thickener in food, pharmaceuticals, lubricants and other fields. It can improve the texture and taste of the product, improve the consistency and make the product more uniform and controllable.
Stabilizer: CMC sodium can form colloidal solution after being dissolved in water, so it is often used as a stabilizer in food, cosmetics and medicines. It can help maintain the stability of products and prevent precipitation or delamination.
Emulsifier: CMC sodium can form emulsion between water and oil phase, so it is often used as emulsifier in food processing and cosmetics production. It helps to evenly mix two immiscible liquids and improve the texture and taste of the product.
Hygroscopicity: CMC sodium has a certain hygroscopicity, so it can be used as a humectant or anti-drying agent in some products to help the products maintain a proper humidity.
Gelling agent: CMC sodium can form colloid in aqueous solution, which plays an important role in the adhesion and gelation of some products, such as forming and curing in food processing.
Pharmaceutical excipients: In the pharmaceutical industry, CMC sodium is often used as a pharmaceutical excipient to prepare oral liquid, ointment and other drugs, and is also commonly used in the preparation of eye drops.
Its application
Food industry: CMC sodium is widely used as thickener, stabilizer and emulsifier in food industry. It is often used in various food products, such as sauce, ice cream, sauce, salad dressing, bread and cakes. CMC sodium can improve the texture and taste of food, improve the consistency and help maintain the stability of products.
Pharmaceutical industry: CMC sodium is often used as a gelling agent for capsules and tablets in pharmaceutical industry, which can help drugs to better shape and cure. In addition, it is also used as a coating for pharmaceuticals, a controlled release system and a stabilizer for oral liquid.
Personal care and cosmetics industry: CMC sodium is often used as stabilizer, emulsifier and adhesive in personal care products and cosmetics. It can help to adjust the viscosity and texture of products, and realize emulsification and stable mixing of liquid and solid components.
Textile industry: CMC sodium is used as printing and dyeing auxiliary in textile industry, which can help improve the dispersibility and fixation of dyes and improve the coloring effect of dyes.
Oil and gas industry: CMC sodium is widely used in the process of oil and gas exploitation. It can be used as slurry and stabilizer to help control the fluidity of wellbore mud and prevent wellbore collapse.
Agriculture and agricultural products processing: CMC sodium is used as suspending agent, thickener and adhesive in agriculture. It is often used in the preparation of pesticides, seed coating and the manufacture of animal feed.
Application of carboxymethyl β -glucan sodium in food industry
Thickener: CMC sodium, as an excellent thickener, is often used in condiment, jam, ice cream, cream and other food products. It can increase the viscosity and consistency of food, improve the taste and texture, and make the product more uniform and controllable.
Stabilizer: CMC sodium can stabilize emulsification and prevent precipitation or stratification in food. This makes it widely used in beverages, dairy products, salad dressing and other products, helping to maintain the stability and quality of products.
Increase moisture retention: CMC sodium has a certain hygroscopicity, so it can be used as a humectant in baked goods, which helps to keep bread, cakes and other products moist and prolong the shelf life.
Gelator: CMC sodium can form colloidal solution, which is often used as a gelling agent in food processing, such as jelly, pudding, candy and other foods to help solidify and shape.
Application of carboxymethyl β -glucan sodium in cosmetic industry
Stabilizer: CMC sodium can be used as a stabilizer to help maintain the stability of cosmetic products. For example, in emulsion, cream, gel and other products, CMC sodium can prevent oil-water phase separation and maintain product uniformity and quality.
Emulsifier: CMC sodium can form an emulsifying system between water and oil, so it is used as an emulsifier in cosmetics. It can help to mix water-soluble and oil-soluble components evenly, and improve the texture and sense of use of products.
Regulator: CMC sodium can also be used as a regulator in cosmetics to adjust the viscosity and rheology of products. By adjusting the concentration of CMC sodium, the viscosity and texture of the product can be changed, thus meeting the needs of different types of cosmetics.
Adhesive: CMC sodium has good adhesion, so it can be used as an adhesive in some cosmetics. It can help to fix and bond different components, making the product more stable.
