Abstract:
1. A stabilizer composition consisting of: a. microcrystalline cellulose; and b. water-soluble carboxymethylcellulose having a low viscosity and a degree of substitution of about 0.45 to about 0.85, wherein the weight ratio of the microcrystalline cellulose and the carboxymethylcellulose is from about 95:5 to about 70:30, and, upon dispersion in water at 2.6% solids, the stabilizer composition has an initial viscosity of at least 750 cps, a set-up viscosity of at least 2900 cps, and a set-up gel strength G′ of at least 20 Pa and wherein said stabilizer composition is produced by the extrusion of an admixture of said microcrystalline cellulose in the form of a wetcake having at least 42% solids with said water-soluble carboxymethylcellulose.
