CAS 9005-34-9
:Ammonium alginate
Description:
Ammonium alginate is a naturally occurring polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed, specifically from the cell walls of certain species like Laminaria and Ascophyllum. It is a white to yellowish powder that is soluble in water, forming a viscous gel upon hydration. This substance is characterized by its ability to form gels in the presence of divalent cations, such as calcium ions, which makes it valuable in food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic applications as a thickening and gelling agent. Ammonium alginate is non-toxic and biodegradable, making it an environmentally friendly option. It is commonly used in the food industry as a stabilizer and emulsifier, particularly in products like ice cream and salad dressings. Additionally, it has applications in the medical field for drug delivery systems and wound dressings due to its biocompatibility. Its unique properties, such as viscosity and gel-forming ability, are influenced by factors like pH and ionic strength, making it versatile for various formulations.
