propylene glycol alginate (PGA) is an emulsifier, stabilizer, and Thickener used in food products, an ester of alginic acid.
PGA (Propylene Glycol Alginate) is made by alginate acid which is extracted from natural seaweed. It is white or light yellow power, and its water solution is mucilaginous colloid. The PGA with high degree of esterification can also control the number of cross chemical elements with Protein, so as to avoid turbidity caused by the mixture of protein and polysaccharide. It therefore enhances limpidity of the beer.
[Function] Thickening, emulsifying, stabilizing: mainly for dairy products, butter, coffee, dairy-drink, sugar-coat, breezed-food etc. Acid-resistant: mainly for lactic acid drink etc. Acid-resistant, stabilizing, suspending: juice, chocolate drink, fruit drink etc. Foam and emulsifying stabilization: mainly for beers. Tissue improving for hydrate: convenience food, noodle etc. Salt-proofing, acid resistant, thickening: mainly for spice such as salad béchamel, béchamel. It also can be used as grease emulsifier.
Esterification degree ≥90%
Ash insoluble ≤0.15%
Loss on heating ≤16.0%
