Granular Sodium Alginate

Sodium Alginate Granular

Bionic sea food is a new type of food with marine resources as the main raw material, the flavor and taste are very similar to natural sea food, and the nutritional value is not inferior to natural sea food. Because of its low price and convenient eating, it is favored by consumers. At present, the main bionic foods on the market are artificial shark fin and artificial jellyfish skin, also known as Cellophane noodles or glass noodles.

Sodium alginate granular uses in bionic food:

Sodium alginate is a natural food additive extracted from brown seaweed. It is not only a polysaccharide additive, but also rich in seaweed iodine, amino acids and other substances that are beneficial to health. Because soluble sodium alginate can react with calcium ions to form a flexible, irreversible gel with excellent chewing and palatability, it has become an important base material for bionic food. 

Bionic jellyfish is made of sodium alginate as the main raw material through systematic processing. Sodium alginate reacts with calcium ions to form calcium alginate which is insoluble in water. This calcium salt, which is insoluble in water and has a dense network structure in water, is the main component of artificial jellyfish. By adjusting the concentration and reaction time of sodium alginate and calcium ions, bionic jellyfish with different taste and hardness can be obtained.
