What is characterisation of Na-CMC, propylene glycol, and glycerol?
Accepted Answer
Sodium Carboxymethyl Cellulose (Na-CMC)
Physical Characteristics: White to off-white powder, odorless, and hygroscopic.
Chemical Properties: Anionic polysaccharide derived from cellulose, with a high molecular weight and excellent water solubility.
Applications: Thickening agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, and binder in various industries, including food, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics.
Propylene Glycol
Physical Characteristics: Colorless, viscous liquid with a slightly sweet taste.
Chemical Properties: Organic compound with two hydroxyl groups, making it a humectant and solvent.
Applications: Food additive, humectant in cosmetics, antifreeze in automotive applications.
Glycerol
Physical Characteristics: Colorless, viscous liquid with a sweet taste.
Chemical Properties: Trihydric alcohol with three hydroxyl groups, known for its humectant and solvent properties.
Applications: Food additive, humectant in cosmetics, pharmaceutical ingredient, and biodiesel production.
