1.What is Calcium Alginate?
Calcium alginate, powder, white to light yellow indefinite, odorless and tasteless, insoluble in water. The molecular chain of sodium alginate contains a large number of hydroxyl and carboxyl groups, with calcium chloride solution (CaCl2,) as a cross-linking agent, can form cross-linked calcium alginate polymers, high water content, good and good biodegradability and biocompatibility, can be used in food processing, pharmaceuticals. Calcium alginate is extracted from Brown Algae, a group of algae that grow in the ocean. This plant is rich in a variety of biologically active substances, of which alginic acid is an important component. The chemical structure of calcium alginate consists of alginate groups and calcium ions, and this structure gives calcium alginate some unique properties.
2.How is Calcium Alginate produced?
After harvesting seaweeds, the extraction process of alginate includes washing, grinding, dissolving alginate in the algal body with alkali solution and other processes, through which the alginate is separated from the algal body, and then calcium chloride is used to make the alginate precipitated in the form of calcium alginate gel, and the colloid formed is washed by acid to remove the calcium ions in the interior and then reacts with sodium carbonate to form sodium alginate, and then is processed into industrialized powder of sodium alginate through drying, grinding and other processes. After drying, grinding and other processes, it is processed into industrial sodium alginate powder.
3.How is Calcium Alginate stored and distributed?
Storage conditions: cool, airtight, protected from light, ventilated Temperature conditions: room temperature, dry Calcium alginate, AR solution and the expression of the concentration of the solution: solution is a homogeneous system composed of two or more components. Stability: Stable at room temperature and pressure, avoid light, open flame, high temperature. Calcium alginate is a pH-sensitive hydrogel, stable in acidic media and soluble in alkaline media. It is stable in acidic medium and soluble in alkaline medium. This enables the hydrogel to absorb and release aqueous solution within a certain pH range. It is strictly prohibited to mix and transport with toxic and hazardous materials.
4.What is Calcium Alginate used for?
Used in dairy food, meat food, bakery food, noodle food, various beverages, confectionery, flavored food and so on. 1, gel: calcium alginate is insoluble in water and organic solvents, insoluble in ethanol, can form a thermally irreversible gel, can be widely used in a variety of biomimetic It can be widely used in a variety of bionic food, meat products and drug embedding. 2, water retention: calcium alginate gel has good water retention, can be used in fruit and other products. It can be used to improve and stabilize the physical properties or form of food, increase the viscosity of food, give the food viscous and smooth taste, and play the role of thickening, stabilizing, homogenizing, emulsifying gel, masking, correcting the taste, aroma, sweetness and so on.
