Market Definition

Alginates can be defined as natural hydrocolloids with unique functionalities that are derived from various species of brown seaweeds (phaecohyceae). Alginates provide properties such as gelling, viscosifying, suspending, and stabilizing in processed food & beverage products.

Alginates are primarily the alkali or alkaline earth salts of alginic acid extracted usually from seaweeds. Alginates are present in the cell walls of brown algae as the calcium, magnesium, and sodium salts of alginic acid. They are frequently sold as blends that increase the volume of a product in the food & beverage and pharmaceutical industries.
