gelling agent-alginates

Alginates and PGA (propylene glycol alginate) are used in many industries such as personal care products, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, textiles and food industry. They provide texture and density, protect physical stability, form gel and film.

Alginates are used in powder bakery products, frozen bakery products, spread and labneh cheese applications, dairy products where foam stability is needed, ice cream and sorbet applications, re-structured vegetable/meat, low fat content margarines, salad dressings and fruit juices. Due to their solubility in both cold and hot temperatures, gelling in a wide temperature range, heat resistance of the formed gel, gel resistance to freezing and thawing make alginates a widely used product.
