Sodium Alginate from Shandong Jiejing Group is a polysaccharide obtained from brown seaweed and presented as a yellowish to white powder. Commonly referred to as sodium alginate and identified as food additive E401, it serves in food and beverage formulations for functions such as thickening, stabilization, gelling, and altering texture.
Sodium Alginate, derived from the extraction and purification of alginic acid found in brown seaweed, absorbs water to enhance viscosity and can create gels in appropriate food environments. Its operational efficiency can differ based on viscosity grade, particle size, purity, concentration, and formulation parameters.
Sodium Alginate is applicable in drinks, sauces, toppings, dairy items, frozen desserts, sweets, baked goods, and convenience foods. It is ideal for producers and formulators in need of sodium alginate, a hydrocolloid derived from seaweed, or a functional component for thickening, stabilizing, gelling, and texturizing.
