Sodium Alginate

Sodium alginate (E401) is extracted from brown seaweed and is one of the most versatile natural hydrocolloids. In combination with calcium it forms cold-setting, heat-stable gels, which makes it ideal for bake-stable fillings, restructured fruit and vegetable pieces, pet food and meat alternatives, as well as for spherification in culinary applications. Without calcium it acts as a thickener and stabilizer in sauces, dressings, dairy products and ice cream. As a seaweed-based ingredient, alginate fits clean-label and plant-based concepts. Roeper offers sodium alginate with full traceability and technical support for dosage and gelling systems. Visit us at stand 30C32 to request samples and specifications.
