SODIUM ALGINATE FOOD GRADE

NOT BLENDED WITH ANY FILLERS
PURE 100% SODIUM ALGINATE
Sodium Alginate is a natural polysaccharide product extracted from brown seaweed that grows in cold water regions. It is soluble in cold and hot water with strong agitation and can thicken and bind. In presence of calcium, sodium alginate forms a gel without the need of heat. In modernist cuisine, sodium alginate is mostly used with calcium salts to produce small caviar-like and large spheres with liquid inside that burst in the mouth. Sodium Alginate is also used in the food industry to increase viscosity and as an emulsifier. It is also used in indigestion tablets and it has no discernible flavour.
