Overview of Alginic Acid

 

Alginic Acid is a natural polysaccharide extracted from brown seaweed, widely used in food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic, and industrial applications. Its alginic acid chemical formula is (C₆H₈O₆)ₙ, and the alginic acid structure consists of repeating blocks of β-D-mannuronic acid and α-L-guluronic acid units.
Alginic acid is valued for its high viscosity, ability to bind water, and biocompatibility. These qualities make it useful in products like gels, thickeners, stabilizers, and pharmaceutical formulas. It is also used with chemicals such as 4-Hydroxybenzophenone, 4-Methylmorpholine N-Oxide, and 4-Nitroaniline in research and industrial work.
