organic acid | alginic acid is a viscous organic acid, also known as alginic acid, alginic acid. The product was a white to light yellow-brown powder. The average molecular weight was about 240,000. Melting point> 300 °c. Slightly soluble in hot water, the viscosity of its aqueous solution is 4 times higher than that of starch, insoluble in cold water and organic solvents, slowly soluble in alkaline solution. No odor. It is widely found in the cell walls of hundreds of brown algae, such as macroalgae, Laminaria, Laminaria, cuticosa and sargassum, among which there are more laminaria (about 20% on average), most exist in the form of calcium and magnesium salts. alginic acid is a linear block polyuronic acid, consisting of a homo-polymerized α-L-glucopyranuronic acid block, the homo-polymerized β-D-mannuronic acid block and the cross-block of these two uronic acids are linked by 1,4-glycosidic bonds. It exists in the cell wall of many marine brown algae in the form of calcium, magnesium, sodium, potassium and strontium. Industrially, it is composed of macroalgae, Clau's kelp, Palm kelp, sugar kelp, kelp, wedge-based kelp (L. Octensis), Laminaria angustifolia (Laminaria angularis), Ascophyllum rodosum, lukhorn alga, Fucus melanocephala, extracted from empty stem Laminaria japonica and alga Pteridium sp. (Alaria), etc. The general extraction method is: raw seaweed after washing, with alkali digestion, alginic acid to produce soluble alkali metal salts, filtration, adding acid to precipitate alginic acid precipitation. Alginic acid can also be converted to sodium, potassium, ammonium, calcium salts or other organic derivatives, collectively known as aglin. Commercial alginate refers mainly to sodium alginate. free alginic acid was a white solid. Insoluble in cold water, slightly soluble in hot water. Strong acidity, with acid resistance, but easy to heat alkali decomposition. Decarboxylation occurs by the action of concentrated hydrochloric acid. Selective adsorption of metal ions, especially Fe (II) ions. Its alkali metal salts and ammonium salts are dissolved in water to form a viscous liquid, but it is not easy to form a gel. Conversion to insoluble alginic acid gels or precipitates below pH 3. The addition of polyvalent metal ions (e. G., calcium chloride) tends to gel. Sodium salt is yellowish powder, insoluble in organic solvent,[a]D-139 °. Alginate is widely used in food, textile printing and dyeing, paper making, medicine, leather, cosmetics, rubber, coatings and water treatment industries. alginic acid is mainly used as a raw material for salts such as sodium alginate and as a drug for the production of gavage. Excipients, binders and stabilizers for tablets are also used. It is often used as a thickener and emulsifier in food and cosmetics. FIG. 1 shows the chemical structural formula of alginic acid. |
alginate | alginate is a compound extracted from brown algae. The main component thereof is a salt of alginic acid (a high molecular compound composed of polymannuronic acid and polyguluronic acid). Mainly in kelp, Sargassum and other large brown algae as raw materials, with dilute alkali dissolution of sodium salt. Soluble in water, high viscosity. Can be used in food, textile, rubber and other industries. In medicine, the pure product of oligoalginate can be formulated into "plasma substitute". Clinical trials have proved that it is effective for hemorrhagic shock, burns, scald, toxic shock, intestinal bleeding and other dehydration, it is a good expansion agent to maintain blood volume. Calcium Alginate and sodium alginate hemostatic sponges can also be prepared from sodium alginate, which can be made into hemostatic gauze with good hemostatic effect, straps and coatings for treating burn and scald. |
sodium alginate | alginic acid and alginate are linear uronic acid glycans composed of two molecules, namely:(1) Β-(1 → 4)D-mannuronic acid (M) (2)α-(1 → 4)L-guluronic acid (G), the M/G ratio is different. The two acids are present in the same molecule and are linked to each other, and the molecular weight of the commercial sample is about 200,000. The most common is sodium alginate, but also ammonium, calcium and potassium salts. The main component of sodium alginate is the sodium salt of alginic acid, a mixture of polyuronic acids. Sodium alginate is widely used in pharmaceutical preparations, food and cosmetics, is an almost non-toxic, non-irritating substances. The gel formed by sodium alginate and calcium ions has the characteristics of freezing resistance and water absorption and swelling recovery after drying. The viscosity of sodium alginate affects the brittleness of the gel, the higher the viscosity, the more brittle the gel. The strength of the gel obtained by increasing the concentration of calcium ion and sodium alginate increases. The gelation process can be controlled by adjusting the pH, selecting a suitable calcium salt and adding a phosphate buffer or chelating agent. It can also be controlled by the gradual release of polyvalent cations or hydrogen ions, or both. The rigidity of the gel was adjusted by adjusting the ratio of sodium alginate to acid. By controlling the solubility of calcium salts, the variety and rigidity of the gel can be adjusted, and the soluble calcium chloride is used to make the gel quickly. When the Calcium dihydrogen phosphate is used, the temperature rises to 93~107 ° C to release the calcium, the gelation time can be delayed. When the amount of calcium ion added reaches 2.3%, a thick gel is obtained; When the amount is less than 1%, it is a flowing body. When the pH is close to the isoelectric point of the protein, the protein and sodium alginate form a soluble complex, and the viscosity increases, which can inhibit the precipitation of the protein. When the pH is further decreased, the complex precipitates. FIG. 2 shows the chemical structural formula of sodium alginate. |

production method | alginic acid is widely found in the cell walls of hundreds of brown algae, such as giant algae, kelp, most exist in the form of calcium and magnesium salts. Alginic acid is prepared by extracting the above-mentioned algae with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate, followed by purification with hydrochloric acid or calcium chloride. The process is as follows: the kelp after extraction of iodine is added with sodium carbonate, heated to 60-80 ° C., and stirred for 2H, so that the calcium alginate in the kelp forms a sodium salt and is dissolved in water. A small amount of formaldehyde was added to fix the pigment to improve the color of the finished product. Extract boiling solution, diluted with water. Coarse filtration through a 30-mesh sieve. The slag was removed by emulsion floating method. Then fine filtration through 100 mesh sieve to obtain crude filtrate. Hydrochloric acid was added to the fine filtrate to pH = 2 to free sodium alginate to precipitate alginic acid in the form of a gel, and 5% calcium chloride was added to promote dehydration of the gel. Press the filter with a press press, so that the water content of the alginate gel is less than 75%. with a variety of brown algae (such as kelp, giant algae, etc.) with dilute hydrochloric acid acidic water wash, to remove the attached iodine, mannitol, salt, Laminine, fucoidan, etc, it is then extracted by stirring with sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate solution. |
