E468 - Cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose

Cross-linked sodium carboxymethylcellulose (E468) is a modified form of cellulose that swells in water to make mixtures thicker and more stable. Food makers use it in small amounts to steady texture, keep ingredients from separating, and improve mouthfeel in many everyday foods. It is closely related to cellulose gum (E466) but is cross‑linked so it doesn’t dissolve the same way.
