Purification of Sodium Alginate of Commercial Grade

Addition of Fillers to Sodium Alginate Solution Improves Stability and Immobilization Capacity of the Resulting Calcium Alginate Beads

Background: Although advantages of immobilization of cells through entrapment in calcium alginate gel beads have already been demonstrated, nevertheless, instability of the beads and the mass transfer limitations remain as the major challenges.Objective: The objective of the present study was to increase the stability, porosity (reduce mass transfer limit...

Sodium-alginate toxicity in mice.

Sir, Sodium alginate consisting chiefly of the sodium salt o. alginic acio is widely used fOI its suspending, emulsifying, thickening and water binding properties (1,2.). Besides its utility at other places in pharmacological laboratories it is one of the popular emulsifiers, used to bring various substances into emulsion for experimental purposes. While conducting toxicity studies of some drug...

Use of Sodium Alginate Adjuvant in Preparation of a Formalin Killed Vaccine Against Infectious Bovine Rhinotracheitis

Improving Shelf Life of Strawberry Through Application of Sodium Alginate and Ascorbic Acid Coatings

In the present study, effects of edible coatings using sodium alginate (SA) and sodium alginate in combination with ascorbic acid (AA) on the shelf-life extension of strawberries at 4±1°C was studied. A factorial experiment was performed based on a randomized complete block design with four replications. The treatments included control (distilled water), SA (1%, 2%, 3% w/v), SA in combination w...
