What is Ammonium Alginate?
About Ammonium Alginate
Ammonium Alginate Stabilizer is a safe and commonly used food additive derived from natural seaweed. It stabilizes and thickens food products, maintaining consistency, preventing ingredient separation, and enhancing shelf life. It adds viscosity to sauces, dressings, and desserts for a smooth and creamy texture.
Some individuals may experience rare adverse effects such as bloating, diarrhea, and nausea, so caution is advised for those with sensitive stomachs or digestive issues. It is always recommended to read product labels.
