FAQs of Sodium Alginate:

Q: How should Sodium Alginate be stored to maintain its efficacy?

A: Sodium Alginate should be stored in a cool, dry place with the container tightly closed to prevent moisture absorption and maintain its quality throughout its 24-month shelf life.

Q: What are the main benefits of using Sodium Alginate in the food industry?

A: Sodium Alginate acts as a high-efficiency thickener, stabilizer, and emulsifier, ensuring enhanced texture, improved consistency, and shelf stability for products like ice cream, jelly, and dairy items.

Q: Where can Sodium Alginate be effectively applied besides food processing?

A: Beyond the food industry, Sodium Alginate is widely used in pharmaceuticals for capsule formulation and wound dressings, as well as in textile printing to create precise patterns and enhance fabric finish.

Q: What process should I follow to use Sodium Alginate as a gelling agent?

A: Simply dissolve the required amount of Sodium Alginate in cold water while stirring. For gel formation, subsequent addition of calcium ions will initiate the gelling process, ideal for both industrial and culinary uses.

Q: When does the quality of Sodium Alginate remain optimal for use?

A: Its optimal quality is preserved for up to 24 months if stored correctly in cool, dry conditions and unopened packaging. Always check the packaging for integrity before use to ensure top performance.
