As a food additive, sodium alginate is used especially in the production of gel-like foods. For example, bakers' "chellies" are often gelled alginate "jam." also, the pimento stuffing in prepared cocktail olives is usually injected as a slurry at the same time that the stone is ejected; the slurry is subsequently set by immersing the olive in a solution of a calcium salt, which causes rapid gelation by electrostatic cross-linking in recent years, sodium alginate has been used in molecular gastronomy. Ferran adriΛ† pioneered the technique, and it has since been used by chefs such as grant achatz and heston blumenthal. Sodium alginate is combined with calcium lactate or similar compounds to create spheres of liquid surrounded by a thin jelly membrane. ## Features - Flavorless gum - For increasing viscosity and as a emulsifier - Used to make gel-like foods (i.e. Bakers "chellies") - Molecular gastronomy - Powder form ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00LLO6FSK | | ASIN | B00LLO6FSK | | Best Sellers Rank | #354,982 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ( See Top 100 in Grocery & Gourmet Food ) #45 in Alum Thickeners | | Brand Name | greenoak | | Coin Variety 1 | Sodium Alginate | | Container Type | Powder | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (267) | | Flavor | Unflavored | | Item Form | Powder | | Item Package Weight | 0.14 kg | | Manufacturer | The Seaweed Solution | | Manufacturer | The Seaweed Solution | | Material Features | Vegan | | Number of Items | 1 | | Package Dimensions | 7.91 x 4.92 x 0.83 inches; 4.94 ounces | | Part Number | BJ-WT5U-87X6 | | Size | 4 Ounce (Pack of 1) | | UPC | 609408037153 | | UPC | 609408037153 | | Unit Count | 4 Ounce | | Units | 4 Ounce | ## Product Details - **Brand:** greenoak - **Material Feature:** Vegan - **Number of Items:** 1 - **Package Weight:** 0.14 kg - **Unit Count:** 4 Ounce ## Images ![Sodium Alginate - Food Grade - 4 Ounces - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Z8VopY9GL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this a powder?** A: Yes, it is in powder form. **Q: Do you sell food grade magnesium alginate or food grade calcium alginate?** A: Hello- I do have food grade calcium alginate available here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07CM8TJPN?ref=myi_title_dp I do not carry magnesium alginate. **Q: what country makes this?** A: Don't know the country that makes this.
