description Product Description
Sodium alginate is widely used in the food industry as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and gelling agent. It is commonly found in products like ice cream, yogurt, and salad dressings to improve texture and prevent separation. In the medical field, it is used in wound dressings due to its ability to form a gel-like layer that promotes healing and maintains a moist environment. Additionally, it is employed in pharmaceuticals as a binder and disintegrant in tablet formulations. Sodium alginate also plays a role in biotechnology for cell encapsulation and tissue engineering, providing a scaffold for cell growth. In the textile industry, it is used as a thickening agent in printing pastes for fabric dyeing. Its versatility and biocompatibility make it valuable across various applications.
