Product name:Calcium alginate
CAS:********0
Product Description:Calcium alginate is a water-insoluble,
gelatinous, cream coloured substance that can be created through
the addition of aqueous calcium chloride to aqueous sodium
alginate. Adding artificial flavours and colours creates a more
tasty edible slime. Calcium alginate is also used for entrapment of
enzymes and forming artificial seeds in plant tissue culture.
"Alginate" is the term usually used for the salts of alginic acid,
but it can also refer to all the derivatives of alginic acid and
alginic acid itself; in some publications the term "algin" is used
instead of alginate. Alginate is present in the cell walls of brown
algae as the calcium, magnesium and sodium salts of alginic acid.
