How can sodium alginate dissolve faster?

　　Sodium alginate is a kind of food additive, granular. Its dissolution time is too long. What method can be used to dissolve it faster? Today, Qingdao Nanshan Biotechnology Co., Ltd. will share with you the method of rapid dissolution of sodium alginate:

　　A product thickener usually refers to a macromolecular substance that can be dissolved in water and fully hydrated to form a viscous and greasy solution under certain conditions, also known as food gum. It is a thickener made of exudates from different plant epidermis injuries in the food industry, and its function cannot be achieved by synthetic products. Its composition is a condensation of glucose and other monosaccharides. After sodium alginate particles (non-powder) are added to hot water above 90 degrees, Form a liquid colloidal solution. Excuse me, this kind of sodium alginate is not only a safe food additive, but also a base material of bionic food or therapeutic food, because it is actually a natural cellulose, which can slow down fat.

　　Alginate is slightly soluble in water and insoluble in most organic solvents. It is soluble in alkaline solution, which makes the solution sticky. Sodium alginate powder becomes wet when it meets water, and the hydration of particles makes its surface sticky. Then the particles quickly stick together to form a lump, which is slowly completely hydrated and dissolved. If the water contains other compounds that compete with alginate for hydration, sodium alginate is more difficult to dissolve in water. Sugar, starch or protein in water will reduce the hydration rate of sodium alginate, so it is necessary to prolong the mixing time. Salts of monovalent cations (such as NaCl) have similar effects when the concentration is higher than 0.5%. The pH value of sodium alginate in 1% distilled water solution is about 7.2.

　　It can also be ground into powder and then dissolved in water, which will also shorten the dissolution time of sodium alginate particles.
