Usage:
1.FOOD INDUSTRY
When it is used as the stabilizer of icecream,alignate can make the product fine, smooth, tasty and with a goodmelt--resitance. It also increases the expansion rate by about 10%. Asadditive in bread, algiante can increase the volume of products, make the readbright and loose,and not easily dried.Using it in the production of driednoodles, it will strengthen the noodle and increase the yield of the finishedproduct.
In theproduction of chocolate and other high-quality sweet, when the appropriatealgiante is added, it can raise the melting point of the product, improve itstoughness and make it unsticky.Applying the alginate in the instant dissolvingdrinks, the drinks will be improved obviously suspensibility and it will notprecipitate even though stored for a long time.Before refrigeration, if thefruit, fish, meat and other food are firstly coated with alginate film, theywill be prevented from germ invading and the water content of them could bekept from evaporatin for longer period.
2.MEDICAL INDUSTRY
