Magnesium Alginate

Magnesium Alginate CAS No.: 37251-44-8                     Molecular Formula: [(C6H7O6)2Mg]n             Structural Formula: Property: Magnesium Alginate is the magnesium salt of alginic acid, manufactured and extracted from seaweed. It is a kind of white to light yellow powder, odorless and tasteless, soluble in water to form thick solution.Alginate is present in the cell walls of brown algae as the calcium, magnesium and sodium salts of alginic acid. Alginate molecules are long chains that contain two different acidic components, guluronic acid and mannuronic acid. The way in which these M and G units are arranged in the chain and the overall ratio, M/G, of the two units in a chain can vary from one species of seaweed to another.Specifications Item Index GranularityConform to requirement of contractViscidity( mpa.s)Conform to requirement of contractWater content≤15%pH6.0～9.5Ash content8.0～17.0%Heavy metal≤40 ppmPb≤5ppmAs≤2ppmUsage: Magnesium Alginate is natural carbon hydration compounds extracted from seaweed, which is mainly used in pharmaceutical industry.
