Sodium Alginate
Alginates are a family of extracts derived from brown seaweeds containing alginic acid. The acid is extracted, processed, and converted to sodium alginate. This versatile, natural, sustainable ingredient is a solution for a variety of food products. Alginates are most notably used in refabricated products, fruit fillings, and cheese sauces.

Sodium Alginate in Food Products
Sodium alginates are primarily noted for their ability to form heat-stable gels without the necessity of heat activation during processing. Sodium alginate serves as a gelling agent across a wide range of applications and the degree of gelation is raw material dependent. Alginates’ cold-water solubility and soft gel properties make it a process friendly for dressings, puddings, and sauce manufacturers.
