Home ＞ Sodium Alginate & PGA
Sodium alginate, the neutral salt form of alginic acid, is created when sodium ions bind to the carboxyl groups of the alginate polymer.It is soluble in water but it becomes insoluble at low pH or at high concentrations of calcium as alginic acid or calcium alginate are formed.
Propylene Glycol Alginate (PGA), it is made by esterification of the carboxyl groups in alginic acid. It does not gel with polyvalent cations and can be dissolved even in acidic foods, remains stable within a pH range of 3–5, resulting in thickening and stabilizing effects.
