Sodium alginate
Sodium alginate (E401) is an organic chemical compound - sodium alginic acid. It is obtained from seaweed (algae kelp) thrown to the shores of the Atlantic. This substance is colorless and tasteless. Sodium alginate is used in the form of a thickener, a gelling agent, and a stabilizer. It easily swells, binds water well and also inhibits the absorption of strontium. It has gelling properties - after adding cold water it behaves like gelatin. In combination with calcium chloride, sodium alginate is used for spherical processing.
Sodium alginate is a natural decree of marine algae. Reacting with calcium chloride forms a strong and hard gel structure.
