Food Grade Sodium Alginate for Dairy Drink & Beverage
Product Overview
Our food grade sodium alginate is a natural edible polysaccharide extracted from premium brown seaweed, specially developed for beverages, milk drinks, yogurt, juice drinks and dairy applications. It provides excellent thickening, stabilizing, suspending and water-holding properties, helping to improve body, mouthfeel and product uniformity.
Widely used in milk beverages, yogurt drinks, fruit juices, protein drinks, flavored milk and dairy-based products, our edible sodium alginate supports uniform dispersion of fruit pulp, stabilizes emulsions, reduces sedimentation and improves smooth texture. Each batch is produced under strict food safety control, with stable viscosity and reliable performance for beverage and dairy manufacturing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which viscosity is suitable for milk beverages?
Medium viscosity grades are commonly used for milk beverages and yogurt drinks. Lower viscosity is suitable for light drinks, while medium viscosity helps improve body and suspension performance.
Can sodium alginate prevent sedimentation in juice drinks?
Yes, it helps increase continuous phase viscosity and supports uniform suspension of fruit pulp and particles, reducing stratification and sedimentation during shelf life.
How to use sodium alginate in beverage production?
It is usually dispersed slowly under vigorous stirring, then hydrated completely before mixing with milk, juice or other ingredients. Uniform dispersion helps avoid lumps and ensures stable performance.
