Description
Emulsification with sodium alginate involves the use of a natural polymer to create a stable emulsion by forming a gel-like network that traps oil droplets.
Technical
Sodium alginate is a hydrocolloid that can form a gel-like substance when combined with water and calcium ions. The gelation of sodium alginate is triggered by the presence of calcium ions, which can be introduced through various means, such as calcium chloride or calcium lactate. The temperature and pH of the solution can affect the rate and extent of gelation.
