Calcium Alginate is a natural polysaccharide derived from brown seaweed. It is commonly used in food and pharmaceutical industries as a thickening agent, stabilizer, and gelling agent. When combined with calcium ions, it forms a gel-like substance that can encapsulate other ingredients, making it useful for creating various food products and drug delivery systems. In addition to its culinary and medicinal applications, Calcium Alginate is also employed in wound dressings due to its ability to absorb moisture and promote healing. Its biocompatibility and biodegradability make it an environmentally friendly option in many applications.
