TECHNICAL INDEX:
APPLICATIONS:
1. Sodium alginate is used as a stabilizer for ice cream, which can control the formation of ice crystals and improve the taste of ice cream. It can also stabilize mixed beverages such as sugar water sorbet, ice sherbet, and frozen milk.
2. It can also be used as a thickener for salad (a kind of cold dish) sauce, pudding (a kind of dessert), jam, ketchup, and canned products to improve the stability of the product.
3. Adding sodium alginate in the production of dried noodles, vermicelli, and rice noodles can improve the adhesion of the product structure, make it strong in tension, large in bending, and reduce the rate of broken ends.
4. Add sodium alginate to bread, cakes, and other products to extend the storage time.
