SODIUM ALGINATE Confirming to NF The effect of different usage level of ingredient further confirms its importance in formulation for its anti-reflux performance.

Sodium alginate is a natural “gummy-worm” polymer obtained from giant kelp and seaweed. The polymer is extremely hydrophilic or “water-loving” and dissolves in water to form a thick, viscous, smooth gel—perfect for use as a thickening agent in ice cream, yogurt and other dairy products.

A novel hydrogel bead [tannic acid (TA)–poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sodium alginate (SA)] with high strength prepared by biocompatible PVA, TA, and biocompatible SA via an instantaneous gelation method was applied to remove methylene blue (MB) from aqueous solution.
