What is Sodium Alginate?
About Sodium Alginate
Sodium alginate is a versatile ingredient used in the food industry for thickening, gelling, emulsifying, and stabilizing. It helps create smoother textures in products like ice cream and jelly, gives foods firmness and shape, and prevents separation or degradation in processed foods.
It is safe for consumption but may cause individual sensitivities or allergies. Overall, sodium alginate is crucial in creating a wide range of processed foods.
