Description

Alginic acid is a tasteless, practically odorless, white to yellowishwhite, fibrous powder. Alginic acid found in the walls of brown seaweeds (Phaeophyceae) consists of D-mannuronic acid  units and L-guluronic acid units probably linked β (1->4). The chains contain three distinct regions; in one, the D-mannuronic acid units alternate with L-guluronic acid units, whereas the remaining regions are homogeneous and contain either D-mannuronic acid or L-guluronic acid.

Insoluble in water.

Alginic acid hydrolyzes slowly at warm temperatures producing a material with a lower molecular weight and lower dispersion viscosity.
Alginic acid dispersions are susceptible to microbial spoilage on storage, which may result in some depolymerization and hence a decrease in viscosity. Dispersions should therefore be preserved with an antimicrobial preservative such as benzoic acid; potassium sorbate; sodium benzoate; sorbic acid; or paraben. Concentrations of 0.1–0.2% are usually used.

Alginic acid Use and Manufacturing

Alginic acid, also called algin or alginate, is an anionic polysaccharide distributed widely in the cell walls of brown algae, where through binding with water it forms a viscous gum. It is also a significant component of the biofilms produced by the bacterium Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the major pathogen in cystic fibrosis, that confer it a high resistance to antibiotics and killing by macrophages. Its colour ranges from white to yellowish-brown. It is sold in filamentous, granular or powdered forms.
