Sodium alginate was first described by the British chemist Edward C C Stanford in 1881 when he patented its extraction from seaweed. Seaweed is not easily cultivated, so the wild weeds are still collected in the production process. The acid is extracted from seaweed in a messy procedure that converts the acid to the sodium salt, which then has to be extracted from a thick slurry that is too gelid to filter as it stands, and has to be heavily diluted – even then it can be difficult to remove the unwanted residue without extra processing. The resultant sodium alginate can then be used or reacted to produce other useful salts like potassium and calcium alginates.
Sodium alginate is the sodium salt of alginic acid, a natural polysaccharide found in brown algae. It is generally used as a stabilizer and thickener in the food industry.
