Sodium Alginate (CHONa) is mainly composed of the sodium salt of alginate, which is a polysaccharide biopolymer with a wide range of properties such as wide source, non-toxic, easy to degrade, easy to be biocompatible and so on, and therefore, it has a great value of application in various industries such as medicine, food, packaging, textile industry, biological materials and so on. Sodium alginate is also known as sodium fucoidan, fucoidan, kelp gum. The main composition is the sodium salt of alginate, a mixture of polyglucuronic acid. Sodium alginate is a by-product after iodine and mannitol are extracted from the brown algae kelp or sargassum.

Function and Application:

1. Sodium Alginate dissolves in hot and cold water to form a viscous colloidal solution, which is a hydrophilic gelling agent with very strong hydration capacity.Alginate Sodium has good thickening, stability, gelation, foam stability, and anti-products aging, and promote cohesion, etc. It can be added to all kinds of noodles to increase the viscosity, anti-brittle, and make the products have strong gluten, good toughness, delicate taste, and good bite.

2. Sodium Alginate food grade can be added in all kinds of noodles, which can obviously increase the viscosity and anti-crunchiness of the food, and make the products have strong tendon, good toughness and delicate taste. In ice cream can make the product keep form and delicate. In bread and cake, it can make the products fluffy and elastic. Used in dairy products and beverages, it can improve the texture of the products and the curd form of yogurt. It is also used in candy, cold foods and food fillings, which can improve the taste and has good gelatinization.

3. Alginate Sodium is also a kind of dietary fiber, which can reduce cholesterol in human serum and liver, inhibit the rise of total cholesterol and fatty acid concentration, and help to treat hypertension, coronary heart disease and diabetes mellitus.

4. Sodium Alginate can also be used as textile pulp, cosmetic thickener and fruit preservative. Sodium Alginate price is good.

5. Sodium Alginate Pharma grade is mainly used as suspending agent, emulsifier, viscosifier and capsule material of microcapsules in pharmacy. It is used as binder and disintegrating agent of tablets.
