Calcium Alginate Application
1. As a gel agent, it can form a thermal irreversible gel, and can be applied to various kinds of bionic foods, meat products, and embedding of drugs in pharmaceuticals.
2. The gel formed form calcium alginate has an excellent capability of water retaining, that makes it a better choice in jelly products.
3. Calcium alginate can be used in pharmaceutical to produce the hemostatic gauze. This kind of gauze has the functionalities of hemostasis, as well as antibacterial and promoting the wound healing.
4. as a calcium agent, calcium alginate can used in food additives.
5. Calcium alginate can also be widely used in formulatin of food.
6. For industrial grade, calcium alginate can be used for welding rod coating. It is featured with fine particle size and low salt, that makes it one of the indispensable ingredients for high-end electrodes.
