Propylene glycol alginate (Cat No.:M004813) is a food additive derived from alginic acid, which is extracted from brown seaweed. PGA is an ester formed by substituting some of the carboxyl groups in alginic acid with propylene glycol. This modification enhances its emulsifying, stabilizing, and thickening properties. It is widely used in the food industry, particularly in salad dressings, sauces, dairy products, and beverages, to improve texture and consistency. PGA is also valued for its ability to stabilize foam in beers. Additionally, it is utilized in pharmaceutical formulations for its bioadhesive properties.
