Product description
Natural hydrocolloid with powerful thickening and gelling properties obtained from fresh brown seaweed.
VIVAPUR® Alginate is produced from certain species of brown seaweed harvested off the coast of Brittany. In the seaweed, the natural polysaccharide alginic acid provides flexibility and strength in the cell walls to withstand tidal forces. It is isolated by a non-alcoholic extraction process based on many years of experience and converted into sodium alginate and a series of other salts. Each product has its own functional properties to be used as a thickener or gelling agent for various food applications.
