Sodium alginate

Sodium alginate Also known as sodium alginate, kelp gum, algin, and alginate, it is a natural polysaccharide carbohydrate extracted from kelp. It is widely used in food, medicine, textile, printing and dyeing, papermaking, daily chemicals and other products as thickener, emulsifier, stabilizer, adhesive, sizing agent, etc. Since the 1980s, sodium alginate has been newly expanded in food applications. Sodium alginate is not only a safe food additive, but also can be used as the base material of bionic food or therapeutic food. Since it is actually a natural cellulose, it can slow down the absorption of fat sugar and bile salts, and has the effect of lowering serum cholesterol, The role of triglycerides and blood sugar in the blood can prevent modern diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. It can inhibit the accumulation of harmful metals such as strontium, cadmium, lead, etc. in the intestine. It is precisely because of these important functions of sodium alginate that it has been increasingly valued at home and abroad. The Japanese call foods rich in sodium alginate "longevity food", while Americans call it "wonderful food additives".
