Premium Sodium Alginate for Food, Cosmetic, and Industrial Use

Sodium Alginate is a natural, water-soluble polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed (e.g., Laminaria, Macrocystis). It appears as a white to yellowish fibrous or granular powder, odorless and tasteless, forming viscous colloidal solutions in water. As a biopolymer, it exhibits exceptional gelling, thickening, stabilizing, and film-forming properties, controlled by interactions with calcium ions. Widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and biotechnology, sodium alginate is prized for its biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxic nature

Food Industry
Thickening & Gelling Agent: Creates stable gels in jellies, desserts, and dairy products (e.g., ice cream, yogurt).
Forms heat-resistant gels for bakery fillings and fruit preparations.
Meat & Seafood Products: Improves water retention in processed meats and surimi, enhancing texture and juiciness.
Plant-Based Foods: Mimics fat or gelatin in vegan/vegetarian products (e.g., plant-based cheeses, meat substitutes).
Molecular Gastronomy: Used in spherification (e.g., "caviar" beads) to create innovative textures.
Encapsulation: Protects flavors, probiotics, or nutrients in functional foods and supplements.

Pharmaceutical & Healthcare
Drug Delivery: Forms controlled-release tablets, microcapsules, or hydrogels for targeted drug delivery.
Wound Care: Used in alginate dressings to absorb exudate, promote healing, and maintain a moist wound environment.
Dental Impressions: Serves as a biocompatible material for dental molds.
Antacid Formulations: Acts as a soothing agent in gastric reflux medications.

Industrial & Technical Uses
 
Textile Printing: Thickens dye pastes for precise patterns in fabric printing.
Biotechnology: Encapsulates cells or enzymes for bioreactors and tissue engineering.
Agriculture: Coats seeds or fertilizers for slow-release applications.
Cosmetics: Stabilizes emulsions in creams/lotions and forms hydrating films in skincare products.
