(natrium alginate)
A: Natrium alginate is widely used as a thickening, gelling, and stabilizing agent in food, pharmaceuticals, and textile industries. It’s derived from seaweed and is valued for its biocompatibility. It’s also used in wound dressings and dental impressions.
A: CMC natrium is a synthetic polymer derived from cellulose, while natrium alginate is natural and seaweed-based. CMC is often used as a viscosity modifier, whereas alginate excels in forming gels. Their applications vary in food, cosmetics, and medical products.
A: Yes, CMC natrium is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by regulatory bodies like the FDA and EMA. It’s commonly added to foods as a thickener or emulsifier. However, excessive consumption may cause mild digestive discomfort in sensitive individuals.
A: Yes, they are often combined in formulations to enhance texture and stability. For example, they work synergistically in dairy products and pharmaceutical tablets. The ratio depends on the desired mechanical properties and application requirements.
A: CMC natrium is critical in food, pharmaceuticals, paper production, and cosmetics. It acts as a binder in tablets, a stabilizer in ice cream, and a moisture-retaining agent in skincare products. Its versatility makes it a staple in industrial applications.
