Calcium alginate is a water-insoluble, gelatinous, cream coloured substance that can be created through the addition of aqueous calcium chloride to aqueous sodium alginate. Adding artificial flavours and colours creates a more tasty edible slime. Calcium alginate is also used for entrapment of enzymes and forming artificial seeds in plant tissue culture."Alginate" is the term usually used for the salts of alginic acid, but it can also refer to all the derivatives of alginic acid and alginic acid itself; in some publications the term "algin" is used instead of alginate. Alginate is present in the cell walls of brown algae as the calcium, magnesium and sodium salts of alginic acid.
Function
Sodium alginate on the molecular chain of contains a lot of hydroxyl and carboxyl, with calcium chloride solution (cacl,) as crosslinking agent, the calcium alginate polymer can form crosslinking, moisture content is high, has the good good biodegradability and biocompatibility, and can be used in food processing, pharmacy.
Application
1. as a gel agent, it can form a thermal irreversible gel, and can be applied to various kinds of bionic foods, meat products, and embedding of drugs in pharmaceuticals.
2. the gel formed form calcium alginate has an excellent capability of water retaining, that makes it a better choice in jelly products.
3. Calcium alginate can be used in pharmaceutical to produce the hemostatic gauze. This kind of gauze has the functionalities of hemostasis, as well as antibacterial and promoting the wound healing.
4. as a calcium agent, calcium alginate can used in food additives.
5. Calcium alginate can also be widely used in formulatin of food.
6. For industrial grade, calcium alginate can be used for welding rod coating. It is featured with fine particle size and low salt, that makes it one of the indispensable ingredients for high-end electrodes.
