Redirect

I've put in a redirect to this page from Carmellose, which is how some eye drop manufacturers seem to be referring to this. The word is clearly made up from CARboxy MEthy ceLuLOSE Potkettle (talk) 13:43, 12 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect from cellulose gum

What does this have to do with Carboxymethyl cellulose? The linked article does not mention "cellulose gum". --68.101.219.116 (talk) 03:41, 25 March 2010 (UTC) Note: comment moved from talk page there — Hex (❝?!❞) 21:21, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They are synonyms. —Keenan Pepper 09:38, 26 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Usage in ice-packs

It seems that additional usage which is not listed is in ice packs. Haven't found a proper source yet.

Soluble??

It is soluble is the claim. ... Soluble in what? Not a word is written. To define something, one needs to use both inclusion (is a member of) and exclusion (is not a member of). This should be obvious.69.40.241.198 (talk) 02:32, 28 March 2011 (UTC) in water. Very soluble in fact. 76.195.144.116 (talk) 23:47, 3 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize for not putting in citations just yet. I am busy right now, but will come back and put them in soon. (570ajk (talk) 21:29, 10 March 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Until there's more than a single primary source, an entire "Health and safety" section seems unwarranted, as per WP:MEDRS. The study itself says that"additional studies will be needed to determine if CMC, P80 and/or other emulsifiers impact human health..."

Here is one more study ("demonstrat[ing] the need for further study of the long-term impacts of this food additive on health") :

Shrimp Injections

There is a video floating around which suggests that seafood companies are injecting Tiger Shrimp with a substance labelled as "CMC" in order to increase volume, weight, and price.

unreferenced and badly written. At least reference it, if not, please remove YamaPlos talk 03:07, 16 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Presentation

This "Start-class" article does need rewriting to have some uniformity with other articles. It is tagged as needing to be in compliance with Wikipedia's Manual of Style.

There is a "Preparation" section (Production?) but not a "Chemistry and occurrence" or "Synthesis" section. There is no "History" section that could cover the FDA approval of the "E" number or possibly a "Safety" section. Otr500 (talk) 09:18, 27 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the article needs attention to grammar and presentation. Can you please point out the relevant parts of the MOS that mandate the sections you mention? yoyo (talk) 22:02, 2 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
