Sodium alginate
Product Information
Description
Sodium alginate is a polysaccharide sodium salt obtained from brown seaweed (eg Laminaria hyperborea, Laminaria digitata, Ascophyllum nodosum). The structure consists of blocks of polymannuronic acid (poly M), polyguluronic acid (poly G) and alternating blocks of the two uronic acids (poly MG). The main use of alginate is in textile printing, as it is used in cotton reactive dye printing. It is also used as a thickener in the food industry.
