Application of alginate in the health care
Introduction:
Alginate is a polysaccharide extracted from kelp-like Phaeophyceae; formed by α-L-Mannuronic acid (M
section) and β-D-Guluronic acid (G section) connected through 1, 4-glucosidic bond. Alginate has unique
physicochemical properties and good biocompatibility. In addition, alginate has the unique effect of health
care, can reduce the hypertension, hyperglycemia (diabetes) and hyperlipidemia. Alginate is also natural
macromolecule cellulose, can slow down fat sugar and bile salt absorption, exclude heavy metals out of the
body and enhance the immune function.
Standard: GB1886.243-2016
Application: the elderly health care products (liquid food), health drinks, functional foods.
Main Function:
1. Provide nutrition for the propagation of probiotics, probiotics promote breeding.
2. Lowering blood sugar: alginate oligosaccharides suitable dosage can effectively prevent the formation
of hypercholesterolemia, lipid-lowering, maintaining normal cardiovascular function.
3. Anti-tumor: alginate oligosaccharides with the general anti-tumor agents different, he does not act
directly on the tumor cells, but to improve the organism's defenses against tumor cells and enhance the
functioning of the host immune system to achieve the anti-tumor effect.
4. Anticoagulant: alginate oligosaccharides has a good anticoagulant effect, have fewer side effects.
5. Anti-inflammatory: good anti-inflammatory effect, has been used in the market.
6. The anti-free radical oxidation: there are great prospects in the production of antioxidant-aging drugs.
7. Immunomodulatory activity: alginate oligosaccharide can stimulate the activity of various immune
cell differentiation, maturation, reproduction, so that the body's immune system has been restored and
strengthened.

Special viscosity alginate:
Ultra high viscosity sodium alginate -- viscosity up to 3000-10000 MPa · s.
Ultra low viscosity sodium alginate / potassium - viscosity can be as low as 3 MPa · s (1% solution) or 100-300 MPa · s (10% solution).
