Product Application of Sodium Alginate CAS#9005-38-3
Sodium alginate is a gum derived from seaweed, produced as the sodium salt of alginic acid. It exhibits solubility in both cold and hot water, enabling the creation of solutions with varying viscosities. When combined with calcium salts or acids, it forms irreversible gels.
As a functional ingredient, sodium alginate serves as a thickener, binder, and gelling agent in applications such as dessert gels, puddings, sauces, toppings, and edible films. In ice cream production, it acts as a stabilizing colloid, ensuring a creamy texture and inhibiting ice crystal formation.
