It forms a gel in the presence of calcium ions. Sodium Alginate is a gelling agent that dilutes when cold with strong agitation. It can be used to create soft, firm, ambient and heat-resistant gels and to produce foams. Sodium Alginate is also commonly used as a thickener, emulsifier and texture improver.

Add the powder gradually to liquid solution. Blend or stir until completely dissolved. Soluble in hot and cold liquids. Insoluble in oils. For spherification use 0.5 - 1% of sodium alginate by weight of liquid. To disperse, either add whilst vigorously stirring the liquid, or mix with another dry ingredient (such as sugar) before adding to the liquid. Because the powder starts gelling in the presence of calcium, do not try to use it in a high calcium liquid, e.g., milk. To make the process easier, use low calcium bottled water. Add the powder to liquid or puree and use a syringe to squeeze droplets into a calcium bath, where they turn into caviar pearls. Switch around the two ingredients for reverse spherification (using the sodium alginate for the water bath).\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eStorage Conditions: \u003c\/b\u003e Store in dry, cool conditions and not in direct sunlight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eIngredients: \u003c\/b\u003eSodium Alginate (E401)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDietary Information: \u003c\/b\u003e Suitable for Vegans, Vegetarians \u0026amp; Ovo-Lacto Vegetarians, Non-GMO, Gluten-free, Non-Irradiated.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNutritional Information: \u003c\/b\u003eBased on typical content\/100g: Energy: 825.6kj\/201.6kCal, Fat: 0g, Carbohydrates: 19.2g, Of which sugars: 19.1g, Protein: 0g, Salt: 0g.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLabelling according to EU \u0026amp; UK Regulations.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCurrent Batch Best Before Date: 09-Oct-2028\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePlease note, best before dates frequently change, although we list the current batch best before date it is always important to refer to the product label applied to the container as the primary source of information for the Best Before Date.","brand":"Special Ingredients","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54074924892545,"sku":"5056191025082","price":6225.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0702\/1169\/9006\/files\/Sodium_Alginate_250kg_5056191025082_1.jpg?v=1780062140","url":"https:\/\/specialingredients.co.uk\/products\/sodium-alginate-250kg","provider":"Special Ingredients","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
