General Description

Ethylcarboxymethylcellulose (ECMC) is a chemical compound commonly used in the production of pharmaceuticals and food products. It is a modified form of cellulose, a naturally occurring polysaccharide found in plant cell walls. ECMC is often utilized as a thickening agent, stabilizer, or emulsifier in various products due to its ability to form a gel-like structure when mixed with water. It is also known for its high viscosity and ability to improve the texture and shelf life of food and pharmaceutical formulations. Additionally, ECMC is used as a coating agent for tablets and capsules to provide a protective barrier and control the release of active ingredients in pharmaceuticals. Overall, ECMC is a versatile compound with diverse applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.
