Sodium Alginate is a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, widely used as a thickener, gelling agent, and stabilizer in food and beverage applications. It is particularly valued in dairy and bakery products, as well as in molecular gastronomy for creating spherification effects.
Its excellent water-binding properties and clean-label appeal make Sodium Alginate an ideal ingredient for modern food formulations targeting texture enhancement and stability.
