Role 1: Moisturizing

Alginose can replace the role of water in the cell in severe dehydration, it can complement hyaluronic acid, not only can always keep the tissue and skin, cosmetics itself fresh, but also to do intelligent moisturizing effect.

Role 2: Improve the skin's ability to adapt to the environment

The small molecular weight of alginate is easily absorbed by the skin. When it enters into the cells it can play a unique function to improve the cell's anti-drying and anti-freezing ability, which in turn improves the skin's ability to adapt to the environment.

Role 3: Anti-radiation

Alginose can remove OH-free radicals produced by α and β rays, making cellular DNA less prone to mutation. It can effectively protect DNA from radiation-induced damage and is a protective repair factor for skin cell DNA.

Other uses of alginate

1, food industry

In the food industry, alginate is now being considered from the non-reducing, moisturizing, anti-freezing and drying resistance, high quality sweetness, energy source and other functions and characteristics, to carry out a variety of uses of the development and research. Alginate products can be applied to a wide variety of foods and seasonings, etc., which can greatly improve the quality of food and increase the variety of food colors and promote the further development of the food industry.

Functional properties of alginate and its application in food:

(1) Preventing the aging of starch

(2) Preventing the denaturation of proteins

(3) Inhibiting oxidative deterioration of lipids

(4) Correcting flavor

(5) Maintaining the organization of vegetables, meat stability and preservation of freshness

(6) A long-lasting and stable energy source. source of energy.

2, the pharmaceutical industry

Alginose in the pharmaceutical industry can be used as a reagent drug and diagnostic drug stabilizer. At present, from the non-reducibility of alginate, stability, protection of biomolecules and provide energy and other functions and characteristics, to explore various applications.

Drying antibodies such as vaccines, hemoglobulins, viruses and other biologically active substances with alginate does not require refrigeration, and can be rejuvenated after rehydration. Alginate instead of plasma as biological products and stabilizers, not only can be stored at room temperature, but also to prevent contamination, thus ensuring the preservation, transportation and safety of biological products.
