CMC - 600g - Sosa

Strength and structure for intricate culinary designs

Sosa CMC (Carboxymethylcellulose) is a powerful, high-purity texturising agent. Widely used in the professional HORECA sector, it serves as a stabiliser, thickener, and hardening agent. Its unique ability to add resilience to sugar pastes and elasticity to doughs makes it a staple in professional kitchens and bakeries.

Key Applications & Benefits

• Sugar Craft & Hardening: CMC is the essential hardening agent for fondant, sugar paste, and marzipan. It allows for the creation of intricate shapes, such as delicate flower petals, that set quickly and hold their form.
• Creating Gum Paste: By kneading CMC into standard sugar paste and allowing a 24-hour resting period, you create a professional-grade gum paste that is both elastic and durable.
• Baking & Bread: It improves the elasticity of bread doughs, enhancing the structural integrity and air retention of the crumb.
• Edible Glue: When mixed with a small amount of water, CMC forms a transparent, tasteless edible glue—perfect for securing cake decorations or coating fruit.
• Ready-to-Bake Stability: It acts as a stabiliser for ready-to-bake products, ensuring consistency and shape retention during the baking process.

Implementation Advice

• Preventing Lumps: Always mix CMC powder with the dry ingredients (icing sugar, flour) before introducing any liquids.
• Cold Process: Best integrated at room temperature. For hot preparations, whisk vigorously while combining the dry mix with the liquids for best results.
• Resting Period: For sugar craft, once kneaded, cover the paste airtight and allow it to rest for 24 hours to reach its full elastic potential.

Allergens: May contain usual traces of nuts, soy, eggs, sulphites, milk, mustard, sesame, peanuts, and celery due to the shared packaging environment.
