Product Description

Cas no.: 37251-44-8 molecular formula: [(c6h7o6)2mg]n property: magnesium alginate is a kind of white to light yellow powder, odorless and tasteless, soluble in water to form thick solution. magnesium alginate is the magnesium salt of alginic acid, manufactured and extracted from seaweed. it combines with gastric acid to form a viscous gel, which floats on top of the gastric contents and acts as a physical barrier to reflux. alginate is present in the cell walls of brown algae as the calcium, magnesium and sodium salts of alginic acid. alginate molecules are long chains that contain two different acidic components, guluronic acid and mannuronic acid. the way in which these m and g units are arranged in the chain and the overall ratio, m/g, of the two units in a chain can vary from one species of seaweed to another. usage: magnesium alginate is natural carbon hydration compounds extracted from seaweed, which is mainly used in pharmaceutical industry. magnesium alginate could be produced into medicine to prevent coronary disease, avoid gastric acid reverse flowing. taking advantage of function for health care, magnesium alginate could be used as material to manufacture medicine and health keeping food. packake and storage: 25kg (net weight) per bag, with compound package bag (a polyethylene bag as liner and a compound plastic woven bag as the outer layer) keywords：magnesium alginate, algin, alginic acid magnesium salt from brown algae, algin thickening agent
