Product information
Alginic acid, also called algin,is a polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae that is hydrophilic and forms a viscous gum
when hydrated.With metals such as sodium and calcium,its salts are known as alginates. Its colour ranges from white to yellowish-brown.It is
sold in filamentous,granular,or powdered forms.It is a significant component of the biofilms produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
a major pathogen found in the lungs of some people who have cystic fibrosis. The biofilm and P.aeruginosa have a high resistance to antibiotics,
and are susceptible to inhibition by macrophages.
Alginic Acid is a kind of natural polysaccharide aldehyde Acid in the cell wall of brown algae such as kelp and kelp.Chemical formula (C6H8O6)
N [1-2].The content of G and M in alginic acid has a significant effect on the gel-forming properties of the linear copolymer formed by 1, 4-bond of
β-D-mannouronic acid (M) and α-L-arosuronic acid (G).In its natural state, alginate is present in the cytoplasm and plays a role in strengthening cell walls.Alginate combines with various cations in seawater to form various alginate salts.The extract obtained from seaweed is usually sodium alginate.Sodium alginate has the properties of thickening,suspension, emulsification,stability, gel formation,film formation and fiber spinning.It has
a long and wide range of applications in food, paper making and cosmetic industries,especially in the field of biomedical engineering in recent years.
