Detailed information

What it is & how it is made: The calcium salt of alginic acid. Calcium ions cross link the alginate chains, so it forms a gel without the need for heat.
Where it is used: Used as a gelling agent and stabiliser in restructured foods (for example the filling of stuffed olives), confectionery jellies and encapsulation applications.
Health note: Evaluated within the alginate group; a numerical acceptable daily intake was not considered necessary.
Halal assessment: The source is seaweed and the counter ion is a mineral (calcium); it contains no animal input. Consult the manufacturer's halal certificate for a definitive answer.
