Sodium Alginate Functions:
In the food industry, Sodium Alginate has the functions of stabilization, hydration, thickening and emulsification.
In the pharmaceutical industry, it can be used as dental impression material, ointment, tablets and their preparation, and hemostat.Sodium Alginate also can be used in resin coating, rubber cream agent, water treatment and so on.
Sodium Alginate Applications:
In Foods, Alginate has an excellent functionality as a thickening agent, gelling agent, emulsifier, stabilizer, texture-improver (for noodles), to improve the quality of food. Nowadays, based on unique and excellent properties alginate is applied to numerous kinds of food, such as ice cream, jelly, lactic drinks, dressings, instant noodle, beer, et cetera .Safety of alginate for food applications is certified by FAO/WHO, as one of the safest food additives.
In texile, Alginate is used for substrate of color paste when applying patterns to print fabrics, scarf, towel, etc. Use of alginate for printing of cotton, jute, rayon is mandatory. Alginate, a seaweed extract, is safer and easier to be decomposed compared with other substrate for textile printing, and gives easier waste water disposal.
