The manufacturing characteristics of water soluble fiber were studied using carboxymethycellulose(CMC) prepared from viscose rayon. Manufactiring process of CMC consists of mercerization and etherification stages. Experimental conditions are NaOH and MCA concentration and stop of reaction process. The former two steps of manufacturing process were reduced to one step. The solubility of CMC in one step process was compared with former process.
