Product Description

Sodium Alginate is the white crystal whose appearance and smell are similar to sugar. 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. In agriculture, Sodium Alginate can be used as seed treatment, insecticides and anti-viral materials. It also can be used in resin coating, rubber cream agent, water treatment and so on. As a leading food additives and food ingredients supplier in China, we can provide you with high quality Sodium Alginate.


Application

Sodium alginate, derived from brown seaweed, has a variety of applications in the food industry due to its unique gelling, stabilizing, and thickening properties.

One important use of sodium alginate is as a gelling agent. It can form heat-stable gels without the need for acidification or the addition of coagulants, making it ideal for preparing frozen desserts, jams, and jellies. Sodium alginate's cold-setting properties also allow it to be used in chilled and frozen products, where it helps to maintain a smooth texture and prevent ice crystal formation.

Additionally, sodium alginate serves as a stabilizer and emulsifier in various food products. It can improve the consistency and mouthfeel of ice cream, yogurt, and other dairy products by preventing separation and ensuring a uniform distribution of flavors and colors. Sodium alginate is also used to stabilize foams and whipped toppings, enhancing their stability and reducing weeping and shrinkage.

Furthermore, sodium alginate is utilized as a thickener in sauces, soups, and gravies. It provides excellent viscosity control and can withstand changes in temperature and acidity, making it suitable for use in a wide range of recipes and cooking methods.

In summary, sodium alginate is a versatile food additive that contributes to the texture, stability, and overall quality of a diverse array of food products. Its natural origin and safety profile make it a popular choice among consumers and manufacturers alike.
