Sodium Aliginate
Sodium Alginate is a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed. It appears as a white to yellowish powder that is odorless and tasteless. It is highly soluble in cold water, forming viscous solutions and gels. Sodium alginate is widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, textile, and cosmetic industries due to its excellent thickening, gelling, stabilizing, and film-forming properties. It acts as a natural hydrocolloid and is valued for its biocompatibility and biodegradability.
