Alginate is a polysaccharide derived from brown seaweeds that offers superior gelling properties. It helps to impart freeze/thaw stability and offers a broad range of flow properties for aqueous-based systems.
The seaweeds used to produce alginates are incredibly sustainable. Wild harvested brown seaweeds use no land and require no fertilizers or irrigation. Seaweeds are harvested using sustainable ocean management and harvesting practices. This makes it a great ingredient for today’s environmentally conscious consumers.

For fruit fillings: Easier to disperse, excellent bake stability, enables gelling at a wide range of sugar levels, provides excellent shelf stability, improves clarity and gloss, provides good fruit flavor and appearance. For cream fillings: For ice cream and frozen desserts: Improves mouthfeel and shelf life by retarding ice crystal formation. Helps control meltdown. For both hot or cold structured foods: Allows better utilization of raw materials with no waste materials in the process. Is “heat and freeze”-thaw stable and provides the necessary mechanical strengths for processing. For sausage casings: Provides the necessary mechanical strengths for processing. |
