Seaweeds are classified into brown, red and green based on its pigmentation. Alginic acid is also known as alginate is hydrophilic colloidal polysaccharide obtained from the brown seaweed. It is a naturally occurring linear copolymer popular for its varied industrial applications. The term Alginate is used for its salts derived from sargassum seaweed i.e. brown algae and alginic acid itself. It is present in the brown algae cell walls. It has a color range from white to yellowish- brown powder. It is used majorly in processed food. When combined with aluminum hydroxide and magnesium carbonate, alginic acid forms antacids.
