Factory Supply Industrial Grade/Food Grade Sodium Alginate Cas 9005 - 38 - 3 is a highly versatile product. Sodium alginate is a natural polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed. Its chemical formula is (C6H7NaO6)n. This product comes in two grades: industrial grade and food grade, both of which are available at the best price from our factory supply.
Industrial grade sodium alginate has a high viscosity range, typically from 100 - 600 cps (centipoise) depending on the specific production process and requirements. It has a moisture content of less than 15%, and the ash content is around 30 - 35%. The pH value of a 1% solution is usually between 6.0 - 8.0.
Food grade sodium alginate meets strict food - safety standards. It has a low heavy - metal content, with lead less than 2 ppm, arsenic less than 1 ppm, and cadmium less than 1 ppm. The viscosity for food applications can be adjusted according to different food processing needs, generally ranging from 200 - 500 cps for most food products.
In the food industry, sodium alginate is widely used as a thickening agent, gelling agent, stabilizer, and emulsifier. In bakery products, it can improve the texture and shelf - life of bread and cakes. It helps to retain moisture, prevent staling, and provide a better mouthfeel. In the dairy industry, it is used in yogurt and ice - cream production. In yogurt, it stabilizes the structure, prevents whey separation, and gives a smooth texture. In ice - cream, it improves the creaminess and prevents ice - crystal formation.
In the pharmaceutical industry, sodium alginate can be used as an excipient in tablets and capsules. It can also be used in wound dressings. Due to its ability to form a gel in contact with wound exudate, it provides a moist environment that promotes wound healing.
In the textile industry, it is used as a printing thickener. It allows for precise printing patterns on fabrics, provides good color fastness, and is easy to remove after the printing process.
For food applications, first, dissolve the sodium alginate in cold water. Stir continuously until it forms a homogeneous solution. The recommended concentration is usually between 0.5% - 2% depending on the specific food product. For example, for making a simple fruit gel, dissolve 1 gram of sodium alginate in 100 ml of water. Then, mix fruit puree with a calcium chloride solution. Slowly add the sodium alginate solution to the fruit - calcium chloride mixture while stirring gently. The mixture will start to gel. For industrial applications such as textile printing, dissolve sodium alginate in a suitable solvent to form a thickening paste. Adjust the viscosity according to the printing requirements. Then, use the paste in the printing process as usual.
Case 1: A small - scale ice - cream manufacturer was facing issues with ice - crystal formation in their products, which affected the texture and taste. They started using our food - grade sodium alginate. By adding 0.8% sodium alginate to their ice - cream mix, they noticed a significant improvement. The ice - cream became creamier, and the ice - crystal formation was almost eliminated. This led to an increase in customer satisfaction and sales.
Case 2: A textile printing company was struggling with poor printing quality and low color fastness. After adopting our industrial - grade sodium alginate as a printing thickener, they achieved more precise patterns and better color retention. The printing process became more efficient, and the waste rate was reduced.
