E401 Sodium alginate

Sodium alginate (E401) is the salts of alginic acid (E400). Both substances are components of the cell walls of red and brown algae. Sodium alginate is produced by drying, grinding and treating with an alkaline lye. As a result, although the emulsifier E401 has a plant origin, it is not a true natural product.

The gelling, coating or thickening agent offers many advantages for food technology and product development. It is highly water-soluble, stable to cooking, freezing and baking, makes sauces and desserts creamier and prevents sugar from crystallizing. Therefore, alginate is used in the production of desserts, jams, jellies, jams, preserves, pudding powders, soups, salad dressings and mayonnaise, baked goods, frozen products, cream, sliced cheese, ice cream, light and diet products. It is important to note the maximum amounts that may be used in infant and toddler foods, packaged fruits and vegetables, and desserts and puddings.
