Its molecule consists of β -D- mannuronic acid (β -D-mannuronic, m) and α -L- guluronic acid (α -l -L-guluronic, g) press (1→ 4) key connection. The aqueous solution of sodium alginate has high viscosity and has been used as food.Thickener

Wait. Sodium alginate is a non-toxic food, which was included in the United States Pharmacopoeia as early as 1938. Sodium alginate contains a lot of — COO--,which can show polyanionic behavior in aqueous solution and has certain adhesion, can be used as a drug carrier for treating mucosal tissue. Under acidic conditions, — COO--into — COOH,ionization degree
When decreasing, the hydrophilicity of sodium alginate decreases, the molecular chain shrinks and the pH value increases, — COOH group dissociates constantly, and the hydrophilicity of sodium alginate increases and the molecular chain stretches. Therefore, sodium alginate has obvious pH sensitivity. Sodium alginate can quickly form gel under extremely mild conditions, when Ca2+, Sr2+ and so on are present.cation
When it exists, Na+ on G units reacts with divalent cations, and G units pile up to form cross-linked network structure, thus forming hydrogel. Sodium alginate formationgel

Inactivation of such active substances. Because of these excellent characteristics, sodium alginate has been widely used in food industry and medicine.Legend has it that Sargassum macrophyllum was born in the sea and Silla (now Korea), and its leaves were as big as algae. Silla paid tribute to it and was deeply favored. The people called it: "Seaweed was originally grass in the sea, and it can also be regarded as a palace treasure." Metaphor is not to judge a book by its cover. It is the whole grass of Sargassum (Sargassum macrophylla) and Sargassum fusiforme (Sargassum microphylla). Originated in the coastal areas of the United States, Canada, Mexico and Australia, it was discovered in the early 20th century that it also has important edible value, which not only contains more than 10 kinds of amino acids, minerals and vitamins, but also contains many trace elements and a lot of iodine, mannitol and alginate.
1. Treat acne
Seaweed mask can repair acne scars caused by acne and acne, and also can diminish inflammation, sterilize and regulate the oil secretion of skin, which has a very good curative effect on acne.
2, in addition to wrinkles
Regular seaweed mask can make our skin more elastic and firm, and make the already relaxed skin firm and elastic at the age of 18, thus achieving the effect of removing wrinkles.
3. Sun protection
Seaweed mask can repair the dark spots on our skin caused by sun exposure and lack of sleep, so that the dark spots on our faces will be eliminated as soon as they come out.
4. Replenish water
Seaweed has a powerful hydrating effect, which can replenish the water needed for water-deficient skin in time and make dry skin slowly become neutral skin. At the same time, it also has the effect of shrinking pores and whitening skin.
5, nourishing
Seaweed mask can provide sufficient moisture for the skin, calm the tired and rough skin, make the skin delicate and shiny, and the vitamin E and protein contained in it can fade the scar. It is very convenient to buy a bag of seaweed particle mask in a cosmetics store and mix it with water. Just do it once a day.
