Sodium alginate, also known as alginic acid sodium salt, is a natural polymer obtained from brown seaweed.  Because of its unusual capacity to form a gel in the presence of divalent cations such as calcium, sodium alginate is beneficial in a variety of applications.

It is widely utilised as a thickener, emulsifier, and stabiliser in the food industry, as well as in the pharmaceutical and textile sectors for its gelling and binding qualities. Sodium alginate is also used to make dental impressions and as a medication delivery bio adhesive. It is widely regarded as safe for human consumption, and regulatory bodies such as the FDA and EFSA have authorised it as a food additive.

The viscosity of sodium alginate solutions varies according to concentration, temperature, and ph. The viscosity of sodium alginate solutions can range from a few hundred to several thousand centipoises. It dries to produce a thin film, making it ideal as a coating material for a variety of purposes.

It can be combined with a variety of components, including other polysaccharides, proteins, and synthetic polymers. It is stable throughout a wide temperature and pH range, making it suitable for a variety of applications that demand stable materials. Because it is biocompatible, it can be used in a variety of biological applications such as medication administration, wound healing, and tissue engineering.

In the food sector, sodium alginate is commonly used as a thickening, stabiliser, and emulsifier. Sodium alginate as a food additive is in high demand due to rising demand for processed foods and beverages. It is utilised as a medication delivery agent, wound dressing material, and in other applications in the pharmaceutical sector.

Sodium alginate demand is being driven by rising demand for innovative medication delivery systems and wound healing products. In the textile business, sodium alginate is used as a sizing agent, dye thickening, and printing paste. Sodium alginate as a textile additive is in high demand due to rising textile demand. The growing awareness of personal cleanliness and health is driving demand for sodium alginate-based goods such as dental impression materials, wound dressings, and drug delivery systems.
