What is Potassium Alginate?
Potassium Alginate is a natural hydrocolloid extracted from brown seaweed, widely used as a thickening, stabilizing, and gelling agent in food, pharmaceuticals, and molecular gastronomy. Known for its high solubility and excellent gel-forming properties, it is an essential ingredient in low-sodium food formulations, dairy alternatives, and texture enhancement applications.
Uses & Applications:
🔹 Molecular Gastronomy & Spherification – Used in reverse spherification and gel formation when combined with calcium.
🔹 Dairy & Plant-Based Milks – Improves texture, viscosity, and stability in vegan dairy alternatives.
🔹 Sauces & Dressings – Prevents separation and enhances texture in emulsions and condiments.
🔹 Baking & Gluten-Free Products – Improves moisture retention, elasticity, and structure in baked goods.
🔹 Nutritional & Low-Sodium Foods – Commonly used as a salt replacer in sodium-restricted diets.
🔹 Pharmaceutical & Cosmetic Applications – Used in capsules, wound dressings, and skincare due to its hydrating properties.
