Alginic acid Salts E404 Calcium Alginate Food Grade CAS NO.9005-32-7

What is Alginic Acid

Alginate Acid, a polysaccharide extracted from kelp-like Phaeophyceae, formed by L-Mannuronic acid (M section) and D-Guluronic acid (G section), connected through 1,4-glucosidic bond. Alginate acid is in a instability state, and it can react with positive metal ion to form a series of alginate products.

Function of Alginic Acid

• Alginate is a kind of macromolecule amylose that edible but unable digestant for human body,which has functions of hygroscopicity,adsorption,cation exchane,gelling and filtration in stomach and tharm
  [1]Reduce blood pressure,blood fat,cholesterin,and defend fatty liver
  [2]Prevent and remove radioactive elemeent and poisonous metals
  [3]Increase the paunch saturation to lose weight healthily
  [4]Increase the peristalsis of the intestines and stomach to prevent
• The low molecularized alginate has much stronger biological activity with obvious health care functions.
  [1]The low molecularized potassium alginate can adjust and dufend hypertension,postpone cardiovascular caducity,improve microcirculation
  [2]The low molecularized sodium alginate can reduce the blood fat
  [3]The low moleclarized calcium alginate is a new source to supplement calcium,and be easy to absorb
  [4]The low molecularized zinc alginate is good for brain and to defend agedness dementia
  [5]The low molecularized iron alginate can supplement iron and blood 
  [6]The low molecularized magnesium alginate can preven and cure coronary heart disease.Also,alginate can be used for healthy function food and Pharmaceutical ,aterials.

Application of Alginic Acid

• Pharmaceutical industry

Main raw material for gastropine.

Agent for the new medicine PSS, with the strong dispersing and emulsifying character. 

• Food industry

Can combine with many kinds of ions to creat a series of salts, such as sodium alginate, potassium alginate, calcium alginate etc. Applied in health food or used as health food additive.

Alginic acid is a natural polysaccharide extracted from seaweed. It is made of the two types of aldehyde acids. Flaxen powder, it isn't able to soluble in water.

• Environment protection

With the characters of its strong adsorbability, it is used in water purification processing etc.
