Energy Industry Analysis and Market Trends

Alginate is a polysaccharide, anionic in nature, found in cell walls of brown algae. In cell walls of brown algae alginates form a viscous gum through binding with water. The compound is a linear copolymer with covalently linked homopolymeric blocks of 1-4-β-D-mannuronate and its C5 epimer α-L-guluronate residues. When alginates are extracted it is capable of absorbing water quickly in amount of 200–300 times of its own weight in water. In commercial market alginates are sold in granular, filamentous or powdered forms. The major commercially available derivatives of alginates are generally sodium, calcium or potassium salt of the compound derived naturally (sodium alginate is extracted in gum form from cell walls of brown algae and potassium alginate is extracted from seaweed) or synthetically by replacement reaction (calcium alginates are produced by replacing sodium salt with calcium salt in sodium alginates). PGA and other salts (zinc, magnesium, ammonium, etc.) of alginates are a...
